CALEDONIAN.
Driving on the Otago, or more correctly the No. 2 reef is proceeding, and the contractors have already put in about 100 feet, which is about one-third of the contract. Yesterday a little gold was seen on the footwall side in a branch leader, which on being followed was proved to carry gold on the edge of the reef. r Some very passable stones were broken out. This discovery, though it is small in itselj, shows that there is gold in; this level, and in probably a payable'quantity. It is the first gokL seen in the level, though a 1 little has been obtained before on crushing the quartz. The point at present being worked is about 40 feet above the No. 1 level of the Caledonian shaft. The t.ibuters « o
doing well, and one or two parties will probably be crushing the cud of this or the beginning of next week.
Herival and party obtained 9ozs 12dwts from their crushing completed to-day.
