NEW GOLDEN GROWN.

'A i amor being ifrevalent that something had bean found ii this irine, i iduced a visit to the mme this afternoon. In yesterday's issue it was statfd that the manager had intersected an auriferous stringer in the Battery level cross-cut, and he expected to drive 30 feet before he reachfd tje other leaders. His calculation, however, proved erroneous at the outset, as last night the ft ot-waU of a considerable body of quartz appeared in the face of the cross-cut, md a few pick strokes disclosed the fact that it contained goi 1 gold, and some 10 or 121bs of specimens were obtained. Tbe manager is of opinion that this is one of the leaders he expected f > meet with fur; her ehead, and it will probably nrove to be that once cat by Downie which was a dronper of the No. 1 lode. The qurrtz has been cut into 18 inches and no sign of tbe foot wall. It is really a splendid looking leader, and gold was seen in almost every piece broken out at the time of my visit. Intermediate level: In a day. or two everytling will be ready for'a slari on the block on No. 1 reef. The far j of the lode is uncovered, and has a promising appearance. From the footw; I leader of this reef a day or t^o ago, the manager obtained a capful of exce dingly rich specimens, some of the pieces behg nearly solid, The quartz from this biock will be sent down o the 100ft level by me?ns of a pass, aad thence wound to the surface. The winding engine was working to-day winding the mullock whicli bad accamulated in the 100ft level chamber.
