QUEEN OF BEAUTY.
The notice of the improvement in the prospects of, this mine in Saturday's issue is borne out by the result of the retorting which took place at the company's battery on S turday afternoon, the yield being 324 ounces. The result of the retorting for the preceding fortnight was 1390z5, so it is evident that the quality .of the stone crushing must hare vastly increased. Dot only is the y:eld better, but it must be remembered that the crushing is being carried on much more cheaper, as the turbine is now being used. It has been discovered, however, that there are not sufficient stampers at the-company's; battery ' to keep the supply of quartz down, and it has been resolved to c/ush with 10 head at tbe Piako mill.
