Ahkowtown. April 18. Good nnws enntinuoa to come to haul from the AeMllm Goldfielda mine, Bulleudale. No less than five faces are on excellent g'lld, a.~ d tbeir positi -na are such as to indicate a very large block of quartz of first-rate quality. The pro»pecta of the mine may well bo said nevor to have lieen better, arc! with the im-prov-ment at presont in hand complete! this miuc is sure to give a brilliant account of itself. H will of course defend upon thr winter, when th« new race upon which devolve all the other works will be completed. T hear the Cromwell Company at Bendigo Gully has once more changed its proprietary. It will now Ins Re n whether or not a change of exploring the mine will come in. Experts who are entitled to every consideration, and who are thoroughly conversant with the history of t.he mine, hswe all sloi.g heeu of the opinion that aa atti »iipl shoulJ lie made to trace the lode in »trik« rftthw th^n in its dip. Independent of more fpyouiable refciil-'b being obtained, exploiting tha wine in that direction would be much cheaper, and rnu h more ground could bs proved at a greatly reduced cost. It is understood that Mr Kiel Evam, manager of the Achilleg Goldfields, is about to take r-harge of the mm» in addition to tlio Achilles Goldfu-lds.
