LUCK'S ALL.
This mine was visited to day. In the winse on Blue leader breaking down was in progress, good gold being seen well disseminated through all the stone broken. The only vein saved as specimen stone is becoming richer. going down, and the lode appears to be solidifying, and may become a good solid body as the depth from the surface increases. The present lode is but an abnormal formation, or perhaps it might be better explained as an exception to the general rule, but as before stated I believe it will assume more natural characteristics shortly. In about three weeks the winze will conneot with the No. 3 level drive, when the manager will be in a position to block out payable stone at once, if such is desired. It is probable,,^however, that but little quartz will be displaced till the hopper, shoots, etc., are completed, the execution of which work will probably occupy six or seven weeks.
