ftTclosed, wi> a result of 16 ozs. from T Moeninq S* a.—This company have been crushing days, and are now Canine up, the retorting to come oil on ffllf. The stuff gone through fully maintains the high average of former re turns, there being upwards of 400 ozs. of hard amalgam in hand from the plates alone. .... Shambock.—This company is driving rapidly towards the spot where they ex pect to intersect the run of gold that gave such splendid returns in the upper work ings. They are now only 35 feet from the desired spot, and as they approach it the stone from tho reef (on which they are driving) improves in appearance and quality.

BATTERY REPORTS.

Viceeet's.—A lot of fine stuff is going i through for the Golden Spur, and the show on the plates I think will fully maintain the high position this claim has obtained. Bttll's.—Golden Hill No. 2 are sending down a lot for trial, and it is beginning to make a fair show ; also a small lot of six tons from the Hoyal Charter, Lucky Hit. This last at one time held hiprh estimation with the public, but of late nothing has been heard of it.
