OLD SIAM.
The shareholders of this claim are at present busily employed constructing a tramway for the conveyance of their quartz from the mine to the road by which the stuff can easily be taken down in drays to the batteries on the flat. They will thus not be able to crush their trial parcel for a fortnight at least. They are continuing the drive on the lode towards the Siam shaft, and it is expected that they will tap the water in about 70 feet further driving —that is if the lode keeps its present course, which, I may say, it is not likely to do, as it is evident that itis a hard bar of country that at present makes it run north. When this gets easier it will probably assume an easterly course again.
