THE EXCHANGE.
The face of the drive in which the black gold bearing reef was cut shews up well this morning. Although a little split, there is Jour feet six inches of stuff that must be. The stone sparkles with minerals, and has every appearance of gold-bearing. The contractors have pushed thfir work well ahead on this reef. The manager has opened out on the other side of the main cross- course —more for the purpose of a turn out than for the sake of knocking out stone; in fact, at present only the dig it in, leaving the reef standing. Men are employed in the continuation of the main drive to intersect any lodes ahead, but the country will have to change a ?;reat deal before anything may be expected in that direction, the ground at present being hard and sour.
