Since last report little of importance; has transpired in connection with this mine. Tho manager has men employed stripping the leader at tho No. 3 level, and will not break down for a day. or so., r . This leader, which is a branch of this ' Old Golden Calf lode, has been driven on 40 feet, and in this space has been found to vary considerably in size, being sometimes six inches thick, and at others »•"'• mere stringer of stone. Gold is seen : frequently, and some picked stones have been; extracted. Some short ■ time. ago, tho Mining Inspector condemned the winding ropes as unsafe so that though: the quartz is raised by them, their use bj, ; the men is prohibited. The ladder way, however, is now in a most efficient state, so that the prohibition of the use of the cnges. does not carry with it mtch inconvenience.
