Today a-fine parcel of picked stone, amounting to something like 1201bs in weight, was obtained on the breaking dowa cf quartz on the foot- wall lode. The stone was of a blue and white jsoJbjr, and at the junction of tlie two*colors a narrow vein of coarse gold could be distinguished, showing more or I«m~through all the pieces. The reef is looking well, and the good colors are to be seen in different parts. Yesterday '% .fettftfot * was let for driving a cross-cut 100 feet ia > length at the bottom ; level. ?
