QUEEN OF THE MAY.
Driving is being proceeded with on the footwall leader, which though rather pinched up still shows gold. The drive on small leader is in about 20 feet, and though the leader continues to be split with the horse of mullock, yet it is not expected that it will stay there long, and when the footwall and hanging-wall sections have re-united the leader may yield something good. At present the stone looks well. At a distance of 70 feet from the, main drive the cross-cut_ has been stopped cs there has been nothing of any consequence come upon, and there is not sufficient inducement to continue the work for the'present, at least. The shaft continues dry, and the contractors are making good progress.
