ALBURNIA.

■Within the last two days breaking down in the<Wliau level has bfcen going on, and yesterday about half a hundred weight of specimens'were obtained.-- 'Within', the next day or so the manager will be crushing at the Moanatairi mill', and.-from the amount of golden stone on Hand it is hoped that the result will enable the payment of another .dividend. He" informs me that at present there are seven or eight cwt. of specimens on hand, and about 50 tons of general stuff- As there is a fair show on the face ttieie" is no doubt. that: bpth the specimens and general dirfc will be considerably,aug rmented before the crushing is throrgh. The appearance of the specimen leader in the \v hau level is" quite as good, or even better than it was in any of the other levels, and this appears to substantiate the belief that the leader is mi creas'ug in richness'as it goes down. The following telegram was sent to Auckland to-day : — "50 pounds rich specimens, Whau level. Kieh gold still showing.— 1 S. Gbibble." Forster atfd party, ,the fortunate tributers of this mine, working a block on the specimen leader, completed a crushing of fcbout 37 tons and XSOlbs of picked stone at the Kuranui battery to-day, and banked as the result the highly satisfactory return of 207|ozs gold.
