CARRICK RANGE QUARTZ REEFS.
—o A crushing of 146 tons of quartz from the Heart of Oak Company’s claim, Carrick Range, was finished at the Star-and-Oak battery on Friday, and the weight of the retorted gold lodged at the Bank by the legal manager on Saturday evening was 2300zs, — representing an approximate average of loz ludwts logrs per ton. A dividend at the rate of 17a per £lO share has since been declared by the Company, which, we are happy to learn, is now free from all pecuniary incubus, The time actually occupied in crushing the quantity of stone above-mentioned was ten days. Crushing for the Star of the East Company commenced on Friday afternoon, and the battery will run for a fortnight before cleaning up. The New Royal Standard crushing is expected to be finished to-day ; and afterwards a small crushing of about fifteen tons from the original Royal Standard Company’s claim will be operated upon. The Nil Desporandum and Robert Burns claims have each ten tons of quartz lying at the battery ready for crushing. The new road which is being formed along the left-hand side of the Pipeclay Spur is making rapid progress, and will shortly, he open for vehicles.
