It still maintains its good quality, being full of minerals of the very best kind, and dabs of gold are seen after every breaking down. Some 10!bs of picked stone came to hand on Friday last. I hare from 10 to 20 loads-at the mill) which will' not be completed before the middle of the week, when we shall know its value. . I have 33 ounces of amalgam from the berdans, squeezed in cold water, which indicates very favourably of its payable quality.: I am now timbering up the drive, and shall then strip ,the reef for further breaking down, which will take place on Wednesday. Cleaning out crosscut is still in progress. There is a large body of quartz about 20 feet from James' old works, which I intend getting a trial from; The other winze is very nearly cleaned out. I shall start driving for the Calf boundary here next week.—T. B. Hicks. SMILE OF FORTUNE (OWHAROA) The result of 14 days crushing for the above claim has been 1400ozs of amalgam.
