MINING.

[Fnoit Today's "Thames Advjjbtiseb."] The Clyde axd Ttnb. —A small lot of about 7 tons for the tribnters of the Clyde and Tyne claim is being crushed to-day at Bull's battery, and the show ou the plates gives promise of an average yield of 2ozs. to the ton. This stuff was taken out of the leader. A trial parcel of about 5 tons taken out of the large reef on the higher level has been crushed, but did not prove sufficiently rich to pay for working. The Golden Barque.—All the available force of Vickery's mill (now reduced to two stampers on account of want of water) is employed on a parcel of stone from the Golden Barque cl-iim,Hape Creek. The Shotovisb. —Yesterday and the previous day a magnificent lot of specimens wore taken out of tiie ShofcoverCompanv'sm'ne from the main lode, in the workings above the 70-feet level. Some of the stones were almost solid gold) as rich as any ever produced by either the Shotover or the Long Drive in their palmiest days. We have been requested by Mr. F. Phipps to state that on and after Monday next he will m ike two trips pill" diem to and from the Wliau as follows : From Whau, at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. ; and from Union Bank, Queen-street, at 10.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. This will undoubtedly be a great boon ||to our friends at the Whau, and we trust that Mr. Phipps will receive that amount of support which his undertaking deserves.
