* NEW PRINCE IMPERIAL. The winze at No. 6 le7elisnowabout4sft deep; the country continues an excallent cless for gold, and the reef has opened out to a width of 18 itches, carrying splendid amend indications. No work is being done in Ihe drive eastward at No. 6 level, nor will the manager start till the wibze from the level above is down far enough to determine the true course of the reef. At No. 5 leve\ however, the east dr've is being pushed on, and it is encouraging to notice that the resf in the face is now 2ft wide and showing colors of gold. CALEDONIAN LOW LEVEL. The north crosscut at the 640 ft. level has jast pierced the hard bar which has been in the face for the past 45ft., and a gocd clasß of country for gold is now being penetrated. In the south crosscut an es> : collent class of saadstone is being driven ! through, and a number of small quartz ' veins have just Vsen intersected, while from the fact that water is issuing from the face, it is not unlikely that the large reef last cut in the main east tunnel is close at band.
