A report was current to-day that the reef in the eastern drive at -the 230 ft.- I*-* level had, been cut off by a clay head, and in consequence of this our reporter visited (he mine late this afternoon, finding that the rumor was quite untrue, although the r?ef ha 3 pinched in small. In one place it was a mere seam, but in the faco solid quartz is making, so no doubt the lode will again, open open out in a few feot, it being no uncommon thing for lodes on this field to vary in size in this manner.
