For some time back this stock has excited interest, and transactions hare taken place, shewing faith in the gold producing qualities of this mine.: The Manager, Mr Thomas Scotfc, haying succeeded in re-opening a ■ large block of surface ground, Jeft from former workings, ■ has sent a large portion to the'mill, of.. which 54i tons have been crushed, yielding the satisfactory return'of 70 ounces 18 dwts retorted gold. This quantity would have been greatly augmented, but for delay, occasioned by wantof fuel, and the ricketty condition of the tramway.' The prospects of the Company have greatly improved, inasmuch as the present workings reveal a much larger extent of available crushing dirt than was supposed to exist, independent of any/new finds that may be made in the unexplored pprtion of the mine.
