MINING.

We hear that the recent snowstorm has blocked the Criffel Lead Company's water race for the time .being,, and that it is possible operations- will be suspended for the winter months, and an early start made in the spring.. It is pleasing to hear that the Lafranchi dredge has been getting payable returns in Tuohy's Creek for some. time past. Mr W. Little is busily engaged hydraulicing in his claim in the Cardrona Valley. Mr Little has now a splendid water supply. He is deserving of every success for the energy and pluek he has displayed in his big undertaking. We understand that the frost will very soon stop crushing operations at the* Eureka Coy's claim, Skippers, Development work in both levels of the mine has been pushed on and the top level has been sunk on 25ft.
