COLUMBIA.
The work in the drive is going on satisfactorily and in the face some fine looking quartz has 1 been obtained. The ground is well situated, and any day a reef may be come upon; in fact, from appearance, I should not be surprised if a lode was not far distant, every indication favoring that supposition. Strong water was issuing from the face to-doy—a good sign of a lode. The country hitherto has been a jumbled mass of clay and loose mullock with ocee sional bunches of quartz, but it is now much more settled. I should say that the drive is yet 80 feet from the Columbia boundary.
