ALBURNIA.
The crushing of 9c wt of /specimens (about 401bs of which was stained last night) was completed at the Moanatairi battery this afternoon for tie first-class yield of 582 ounces sdwt» retorted gold, which is quite up to expectations. The gold was melted at the Bank of Hew Zealand and reduced to two. fine ingots weighing 5770zs sdwts. The loss is tkus only 4ozs, which is considerably underone per cent., and reflects credit on the treatment of the amalgam at the battery. The general stuff, of which there is about 70 tons on hand,' will probably be crusbel next week. The. stuff should average something like four ounces to the ton. Breaking down on the specimen: leader is proceeding about every second day, and an specimens are to hand after almost ererj breaking down, there will be a gqod-sizsd parcel of golden stone to crush with th? general dirt, from which, it must be renumbered, the specimens crushed to-day were taken*
