PINAFORE.PINAFOEE.
Hickey and party, the proprietors of this claim are hard at work on the reef in the face of the hill. It is a very large reef, and about 12 or 13 feet is showing in the face, though the whole is not being taken out, so that its real size is not yet known. In breaking down portions of it show gold pretty freely, and pieces showing the precious metal can be picked out by even an unpractised eye. The stuff sent to the battery ig shaping well, and is expected to yield from two to three ounces to the ton. Now that the case heard on Wednesday is over, the party will be able to work straight ahead, and expect to keep the battery going for some little time.
