CURE.

An excitement was created about noon, on " Change,", by the rumour that this Company had made a very fine haul of specimens from the winze recently sunk upon $o. 4 or black lode. On visiting the mine the manager showed me a keg of good specimens, picked stone that he had just brought up from below; I stated that the show of gold remaining behind in the north or Red Queen side of the winze, was the best since the palmy days of the "rich run" worked so successfully in No. 2 lode. On going to the bottom of the winze, 30 feet deep, I found that he had first commenced to open out on the north side, and that only a very small section of the lode had yet been broken down, yielding the specimens named above. In the face, however, there was a splendid narrow seam of gold for five fret in height, or the height of the projected level, and that without a break, so, when a further section of the lode is stripped, the breaking down should be, productive of a heavy haul of rich stone. The size of the lode is small just here, and. the metalliferous vein on the footwall side, which carries the precious metal, is a little over 9 inches wide. One important feature in connection with the show of gold to-day is that the very best stone comes from "the floor or deepest part of the winze. The following is a copy of the telegram forwarded to the directors" by the manager:—"Gold making on the north or Eed Queen side of winze. 301bs rich specimens. . Good show ia the face."
