About the claim (Red Queen) I am happy to Bay that everything looks well. Tho ruanagor airivod hero last night, and reports th.it ho has put the shalt down 46ft without a break in tho reef. The distance botween tho upper and lowor lovol is 122 ft, so he will have to blmlc another 70ft boforo ho gets to tho low tunnel Tho ground is getting easier to work, aud he has no doubt that tho reel will go down, hut as the water is making a little ho U now going to extond the low-lovcl tunnel under tho shaft, which will havo to bo driven 9.lft more, but h« says ho may get tho reel any ('ay. As soon as this distance ia driven he will complete tho thaft, and wo shall then bo ready to keep tho nnchino going a loDg time, as the claim is well opened up. Wo might havo had a crushing from the upper level at once, but then wo would have to construct a trunnay, which would bo no Use after completion of shaft, and the claim would uot bo opened up as it is now. ,-^, Mr Spring today received tho following,- -jure from Mr G O.
