THE ITALIAN.
The face of the drive being put-4nto the Nonpareil tunnel, 1 does not look very promising; there is a streak of black looking jquartzand clay,:about six inches thick, running across it; very flat, and bearing upwards. On the floor of the drive is a hard sandstone bar, rising rapidily, and seemingly strong enough to influence the weak leader in its upward tendency.
