ALBURNIA.
The manager, Mr J. Gribble, brought down to the Moanatairi battery last sight for crushing with the single stamper, all the specimens on hand, which amount to the very respectable parcel of Bfcwt. Of this, amount some 801 bs were obtained by breaking down on the spepimen leader yesterday. Crushing was started . this morning, and the amalgam was forming so rapidly, on-the plates as to require frequent cleaning up. It is impossible to form a correct estimate of the probable yield of the crushing, but from the ap- v pearance of the stone some 500 or 6OOozs may be expected. The tributers are on the whole doing well. Forster's crushing at. the Moanatairi battery is shaping for about 2czs to the ton. Coad and party hare a parcel of payable general stuff and specimens on hand, and will be crushing ghqrtly. This, tribute, which was formerly known as Bray's section, has paid the present tributers very well during the last two or three months, the profit of some seven or eight months' operations being several hundred pounds per map,
