MARINES AND LONDON. Ifo work has been done during the pas
week, owing to the amount of gas accumu ' lated at and below No. 2 level. The manager has tried several times to dislodge it, but he has not hitherto been suocessful. To-day he turned a good stream of water into a box with a tin bottom, in which a large number of small holes had been made. This was placed in the northern compartment of the shaft and very soon a continuous stream of gas began to ascend the southern compartment. By this means he may be able to clear the gas enough to effect communication with No. 3 level, which can then be easily ventilated. ' GOLD EETUSNS. Aibubnia.—McDonald and party have j backed 16ozs 17dwts gold, the yield of 12 loads of general dirt.
