New Prince iMrEnur,.—Tlia manager reports Both drives from No. 4 level liavo not advanced much during tho past - week—all tho men being engaged brcaklngdown the lead, which is now between three and four feet thick, and has been very hard to shoot down. I tm still obtaining a few pounds of pickcd stone from both drives. The best I have yet got was from tho drive on the hill side of tho shaft, and the hangingwall of tho lead here is not yot reached. -The: lead in-tho drive seaward- is now broken down to within a few feet of the faco, and has shown gold all the .way. The lace has been resumed to-day, and the small stringer* mentioned in my last are stlil carrying gold, and pri/Uucing some nico little stone. The general dirt should crush well, as 1 have scon more gold through ilho stone than when breaking out the crashing, which yielded so well from the top ol No. 1 winze. The same; kind of -wMto chalky quarts that was so abundant in the winze where tho good specimens wcro obtained, is now making in the lead, and, should.tho latter get a. little smaller, we might eipect to get some good stone. 'Thereisnow twenty tons of quartz on the surface, and about twenty more stacked in the drive at No. 3 level, which same from the winze, and which will be hanled to the surface as soon as the hoppers are finished.—(J. 3.
