THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
The above company this morning set men to work on the surface, but the work must of necessity be preliminary. Any permanent work the Queen of England may undertake must, from the very, nature of the ground they have to sink through to get the reefs, be heavy and : massive. It will be no child's play to sink a shaft so near Pollen-street as the new shaft must be decided on, the drift being deeper as it nears the beach. The old shaft near Adcock's is pronounced useless, and an entirely new shaft will have to be sunk. From the character of the men in there can be but little doubt that the carrying on of the necessary works previous to machinery being, employed, wiJl be conducted with energy.
