GROWN PRINCE.
The manager reports that all the winzes sire now down to the required depth, except that known as the No. I—on1 —on the F.o. 1 reef. Gn Saturday some splendid stone was taken out of the very oottom of the,winzes. .The prospects all over the mine f.re very good. The engine has arrived, from Auckland; it is a double cylinder portable (English make), of about ,20 .horse-power..... The bed being ready, it will be immediately put in its place and. geared. Mr. Beeche expects to have steam up by Wednesday next; when, I presume, active operations will be immediately commenced in winding up stuff. There is not one word now from this mine about fire damp or other deleterious gases. ■'■■■:■..,■■!■■■- ■ ■■•■•--. ■'■
