QUEEN OF BEAUTY.
To-day the men employed in this mine struck for an advance of wages, the demand being, that they get 8s per shift instead of 7s 6d,' as at present. As no arrangement has yet been come to a few extra hands are just employed to send all the stuff lying about the stopes to the surface. Yesterday, the contractors for, driving on the cross reef in the bottom level, who have for the last two or three weeks been obliged to work through hard country, came upon softer ground, and the reef has also improved in appearance with Ibis cbange, The main reef is look- | ing well in the other parts of the mine, and the cross-cut made to intersect the No. 1 reef in this level is proceeding through pretty fair country.
