THE QUEEN OF THE MAY.
The shaft is how being sunk down below the Queen of Beauty on the mainlevel, and water has been met with; that is of course a.hindrance to the work, but the greatest hindrance to the mice seems to me to be want of the engine; i\ was was purchasedla long time since, but is still in its old bed, and the poppet legs lying on the beach. The road from the flat to the mine is still in the same state as it was; or worse, and if thero is a bit of road on the Thames worse than that is, it must be very bad indeed—-something more than knee deep. There seems to be some hitch between the Council and the Queen of the May shareholders: wherever ths hitch may be it is time it was taken out of twist; we cannot afford to have our mines hindered in any way if there can be any possible avoidance of it. The state of the road almost equally effects the City of London and City 'of York claims. To get machinery up the road as it now is, is an impossibility, and to convey timber over it must greatly enhance the cost. Who is going to see to it ?
