THE COEE.
On measuring up the distance', 10 feet more driving has to be made ere the Caledonian boundary is reached, and from the present appearance, indicates that the lodes will be compact in their further progress. At presont No. 4 is - close alongside No. 5, the two being in the face, but not fused together. The quantity of good crushing dirt is not under 4 feet. Some 20 feet back from the face of the drive, the manager has started to open out upon leaders at almost right angles to, the main lode making for the Red Queen ground ; gold has been seen in them, 'and it is evident that the two leaders will prove valuable, as they are functioned a * few feet over head, and will afford about 80 feet of driving before fhey make into the Eed Queen, where the same lode has been worked, the last crushing giving 3 ounces to the ton. Shis will be called the crosslode, \o distinguish it from the foot-wall lode, driven upon for some time back from its union with JS"o. 5. Fifty feet have yet to be taken out of this drive ere this leaves the Cure limits. Gold is seen occasionally in the quarts: from each of thc'leaders, and the show at the battery is about equal to the former crushing.
