THE GOLDFIELDS.

The following mine managers' reports were received yesterday :— . Inverness. —The rise is up about 40 feet. The reef is from 2 to 3 feet wide, showing a, little gold, but in a few feet more I expect it better. The water is very troublesome, and making progress slower, but is drained from the top level now. We continue to get it yet very fair in So. 1 reef—we have five bags fall of picked stone from it now. Vermont. —For the fortnight we have been following the small hangingwall leader, which I mentioned in my last report. We have teen some very good stone in it, showing very nice gold, but at present the leader so small in the face, according to the way the leader ia now running, it will strike the big reef about 3 feet ahead, when I think it very likely it will make a good patch of gold. .
