THE MINES. , From the Champion Lode claims, Tui, quartz is being brought down almost daily.

The quartz will probably be sent down to-day, and put through early next week. We are informed Mr Wick, battery' manager, , will now roast this quartz, but. merely run it through the furnape to thoroughly dry it. The result will be watched for with much interest, as 10 other truck loads (taken alternately from the hopper) will be despatched aame time to Firth and Clarkes battery, .
