On Saturday last, Stevenson and party, tributes in the xM.trlha mine, cleared up For n return of 01 ounces of retorted gold. This was the product of treating a l.injc tonnage of low grade quartz, and the result is said to be payable. At the Union mine the reef met with in the prospecting crosscut did not prove to be so large as was expected, and as there wag some doubt about its being identical with the main lode the work of driving wus con tinned till Saturday last, when another bo ly of quartz was met with, and some of the stone broken out gave harulso'Momorter prospects of gold. Owing to the heavy inflow of water the men were obliged to boat a hasty retreat an 1 so far the size or actual value of this loda has not been detei mine 1.
