VICTORIA.
The manager's report is as follows :— During the week, 21 feet hare been driren through a fine class of country. As was anticipated in my last report, there has been a decided change in the reef for the better. Though not properly defined yet and no gold been seen, I feel satisfied, from the highly* mineralised stone, the true course of the reef with the dip it carries of two feet in six feet, as well us the good walls of the same, that there is every probability of it making for a fine body of stone. The reef during the last week has been as wide as one foot of solid quartz. A little water is now coming from the face (the first since cut), and altogether it looks more promising than at any time previously. The face of the drive is now 198 feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
