THE TIKI.

T^ate heavy rains have caused considerable landslips to take place on roads, andalso in various mines. Jlovell had commenced taking down a large parcel of quarts .to the Emily battery, but after gettiug about two toils* to the mill, the road became iiupassable. The heavy traffic which has taken place oaths Tiki track since winter set in has worked it in places into bogs. Timber and- other mining appliances are now conveyed with difficulty. COROMANDEL. Bluett's. —Tenders have been called for a tunnel of 98 feet to be driven from JJlackuiore's tew level through to Barrett's

and the Matawai corner peg, a work which. nviy confidently be expected tr» produce good results. Maoiu Wijsr are working at a new leader on the surface, having lately come on the outcrop of it. la the drive the leader is improving in character and with good walis. It was proposed to sink a winze on the shot of gold, but such could not be carried out owing to the flow of water. Most likely a low level will be put in to work the reef at fifty feet, which would drain it and enable them at once to sink on the lode. Stodabt's. —A new reef of good solid stone was pointed out yesterday to one of the proprietors of the mine, in whose presence stone wag (taken from the solid part and roughly crushed, yielding a good prospect, as also did stuff taken from the hanging wall. Two men will at once be pui on to open out the new reef. The contractors are driving in rather tight country. The .New Golden Pah are driving through splendid country in the road level, and numerous likely-looking Stringers are met with. A new find of importance is reported to have been made in Blackmore's yesterday, but particulars are not yet to hand. — Coromandel Mail.
