The country in tbe Vanguard cross-cut is very variable in character. In order to avoid the hard bar of ground the course of the drive has been deviated, and the course of the drive i 3 almost parallel with the cross-lode. The manager expects that this deviation will bring the lace to near about the junction of the cross-lode with the Vanguard rcaf. Spine distance, however, wil 1. require to be driven before the lode is cut.' Tae following tribute parties are now c.ushing :—Bice aud party, 10 of 12 loads ; Suilivan and party, 35 loads. Wilton and party are now employed breaking out a crushing, which will be sent to the mill next week. They have opened up about 250 feet on the line of reef. The leader varies from six inches to two feet, but is seldom less than 18 inches from wr 11 to wall. McDermott
and parly (late Sara and party), who had a specimen crushing lately, are working a very patchy leader. ' Occasionally the stuff is wound by the Bird-in-Hand shaft. Fletcher and party have finished a crushing of 8 loads for the yield of 25| ounces gold.
