PRINCE IMPERIAL.
Hearing of a rumour of some find being made in this mine to-day in c annection with the Mariner's reef, I visited the workings on that lode at No. 2 level today. At a point distant, about 45 feet from (he shaft, the manager has commenced putting down a winze, which is now eight or 10 feet deep. The reef averages from two to three feet thick, and is composed of fine looking heavy and blocky quartz in easy country. I was informed that some 201 bs or 301 bs of golden stone was obtained yesterday aftornoon, but there was no gold visible today. The wiDze is not more tben half a dozen feefc from tie fai-3 of the d Ive.
