THE THAMES.

[F3OM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Gbaiiamstotyn, Thursday, 1 p.m. The United Pumping Association repairs have not yet been completed. Tliero are fifty feet of water in tbo abaft. It is not expected the men resume sinking before the end of the week. 8 p.m. The United Pumping Association are now drawing the bottom lift of the column, so as to ascertain the c.iuse of the obstruction. Yery little delay will ensue. Caledonian crushing is looking very well. The G-olden Crown crushing this week will not be equal to the last. Whau haTe at last holed through into the rich winze. The water will be drained in a few hours. The Nonpareil winze, upon No. 2 lode, from the adit leve), communicated with the next lower level. The Ashley tributers crushed 10 tons for 21 ozs. of retorted gold. The Twecdside tribute crushing will yield about an ounce per ton. The "Windsor Castle Company hare lodged 7i ozs. of retorted gold. The Black Angel (new stopes) continues to yield rich stone as they slope, N.E. or Howard's winze. City of London No 2 reef, in the company's own level, is improving: very much as it is followed to the Queen of Beauty boundary. Rose and Shamrock lode, from Dixon's low level, is looking very well j it is five feet wide, and shows u little gold. The whole of Block 27 is pegged off, for Auckland capitalists, into two 30-ncre leases. £2000 have been subscribed, and another £1000 in a few days. The position is looked upon as good, as it receives the trend or strikes of the Una, and all the Haps creek leaders and reefs.

COIiOMASDEL.

[FP.OM OTTK OWN COEEESPOXDEKT.] Thursday, S p.m. The John Enll ground was pegged out at an early hour this morning. I believe there will be more than one claimant for the property, which stands on the line of the Green Harp reef. Great satisfaction is felt here at the completion of the amalgamation between the three beach mines. Is is hoped that no delay will occur in starting to work the Beach shaft. The Tokatea gold was not banked to-day. Returns to-morrow. The annual meeting of the Harbour Yiew lapsed for want of a quorum. The report that the Green Harp mine bad been jumped is ull imagination.
