MINING MATTERS.

Cambbia,—The improvement in the appearance of the lode in the eastern drive at No. 3 level, which was noted by our reporter on tho occasion of his last visit has since continued, and culminated yes-: terday morning in the gratifying haul of-' 201bs of golden stone. The stone came from the. heavily-minoralised leader near the hanging wall of, the. lode. .The manager reports that the ! reef'is stilf swerving round towards its footwall, this being the strike whiclrwas the appearance of the.shotof gold.worked at the intermediate level' It is hoped that yesterday's haul,isa;.foretaste,;of.,the. < :rich gold, and that a few. ebifie , operations will disclose tho richest' 'portion. There are about 50 feet of vertical backs to be worked-to'the' intermediate level, so that there is ample room forMe existence of a valuable dividend-paying block. The gold. is accompanied. ,by bright copper and other minerals, ;pf even:;.more : : : faypurable nature • than;, those found at ■ the'-/inter-mediate; level.' • The manager; , purposes starting to-day ; to crush .the specimens on hand, at the Imperial battery. and .party's parcel of specimens, was : made ; fin>a : recent- been, crushed 'at)he ; cpmpany's'battery)and.has more thaq/realised' tli'e ■«anguine;estimateß 1 which' were' ioilhd cb'ncerningi/ifs value.
