[jFßoar ova own corrkbpondent.l BEEFTON, Junk "17. The following is the Stock Exchange report :— Business is still very dull, although this week's returns are very good bo far. The Specimen Hill crushing resulted most oatiofactorily, giving a return of 350z 15dwt from twenty-seven tons of etone crushed. Future operations in the Company's mine will be confined to driving on the reef formation, where it is expected to intersect the main reef at no distant date. The cyanide process at Boalmans did not clean up to expectation so far as is known, but the official report ia not yet put in. The manager believes that future returns will be better, as several improvements have to be made in the working, this being the first attempt on the Coast. Reports from the Amazon Company are most encouraging, and shares are being readily applied for. It is intended to register the Company next week.
