THE CENTRAL ITALY.
The mine manager reports that the prospects of this mine are improving. Stoping is being carried on in the block under the lowest level. The lode is looking very well, gold, being seen: during every shift. The reef has opened out to a width of 6 feet. A rise has been put up from the No. 2 level to Ifo. 1, giving good ventilation. The entire claim, from the No. 1 level to the Surface,. Las as yet never been touched, and, from the appearance of the *tone in a rise being now put up, great hopes are entertained that a large body of payable stone can be raised. In the piece of ground yet intact, on its underlie from where it is now being worked, there is about :300 feet of the lode to w.ork on before the surface outcrop will be reached. This lode is 3 feet 6 inches thick. There are about 70 tons of stone in the paddock. Crushing will be commenced in about a week. There are about 60 lbs of picked stuff on hand.
