Lvell, September 27. ' Lysll Creek.— The manager reporta : "The main lovd north has been driven 10ft, makiug tho total length 99ft. The reef continues to be of Urge size, the drive being 7ft wide and no sign of the hanging wall. The stone is clean, of a kiadly nature for carrying gold, but so far there is no improvement in the quality. I intend shortly, if no change takes place, to put a small cror scut In the hanging wall to see if there is better gold on that side of the rcrf."
