CAMBRIA. A breakiug down of the footwall vein in the intermediate drive took place this morning, with the result that lOlbs of specimens, some of them of exceptional richness, were bagged. The manager states that the leader is still carrying the same favorable minerals, and looks as well for gold as ever. The stopes and other workings on quartz are turning out a supply of good quality dirt. The shaft is progressing favorably, considering thn nature of the sandstone, and should be deep enough next week to enable the men to start cutting out the chamber. SAXON.

The hangingwall branch, in which the last lOlbs specimeus were found, was- shot down, with the encouraging result that 20)bs specimens were bagged. The footwall braucb is also beiug followed.
