PRINCE IMPERIAL.
Though scarcely up to expectations, the yield of Saturday mar be considered a very fair one, considering the amonnLof stuff crushed. Amongst the 4ewtl!f picked stone there were only a few ponbdf that could be called specimens. At the mine there is not much new to report. There is no sign of the lode in west drive being recovered as yet, but it is More than likely that it will be in a day or to; The country, is first-rate for gold. In the eastern end stoping is proceeding, awl golden stones doming to hand occasionally* The Mariner's reef cannot be Very far distant now. Some time back I referred to the existence of a branch leader in the eastern drive. This is now being driv.en out and in the present face it .is 6 inches wide and looks healthy. A breaking down will take place this afternoon, and more will be known of this leader then. The country is first-rote for carrying gold. A final cleaning up and retorting took place to-day for the return of Sloes. The total yield was then reduced by melting in the Bank of New Zealand to 181? ounces. ■- ;[ \. > : ' \ : '] {
