OUR MINES.
cure;
Newman and party have finished a crushing of 25 tons at the Prince Alfred mill for the yield, of 2lozs 6dwts gold. Davis and party are now treating a parcel - of 20 tons, and it is shaping for better than two ozs per tori. The- company will not be in a position to crush for some little time yet. The cross-out at the No. 2 level is making fair progress, and is now.in over 50 feet, or one-quarter the distance to the No. 6 reef. Some 10 or 15 feet back' from the present -face Gilmour's leader was pierced, and it exhibited all its characteristics as worked in the \ No. 1 level, and when the manager starts work on it he has-no doubt but that it; will pay as well as when worked on the level above/-The operations on the hanging-wall of No. 2 are being peshed pn with vigor, and during the last two or three days some colors of gold have beon scon, while the lode itself bears a much improved appearance. The drive is now approaching a point where a payable run, of quartz was worked some time ago.
