Kendrwk m<«. crushed five loads for llozs 19dwt, taken from the No. 4 leader on tie No. 3 level. Waite and party are down 57 feet with their winze, and have com menced this morning to drive into the old " Kschange" ground from the No. i I^l, with the view o£ breaking through for veniilaUonand oceniag up their blocv. I have aire-idy referred to' tha improver: character or tno country inthisportion of th;- mine, in my former reports. The sinking continues aoout me same, and still showing go!d in the stone, j ©spect the winze will be connected witn i>o. 4 lavelabout Fiiday next, wiiich will open up a clas3 of country hitherio unknown in the mine, and the present trial lot ia sure to show its payable ch-u-acter. Bice and party, who have been fJoint? .dead work since July last, cue the No. l lode in the Ex change" ground on Friday morning. They broke - a hole into it about a foot square, seeing gold in every stone they broke out, similar to the piece I have forwarded to town, which is a fair iampie of quartz taken from the lode. They have commenced to drive east and west in the hanging wall to get room for shooting, and will not break down any more of the lode untu Thursday or Friday next. Findmg good gold in this reaf 250 feet east from the old Exchange boundary, is of great importance to the Crown Princess" Company, and coupled with Waite s sooA return on tli« No. 2 lode on the boundary, will, I hope, lead to the opening of a new mine which has loag been crippled for want of means to develop it. In reply to your letter, le Wil«on's tribute, on the C. P. boundary, 111 find out on what portion of tho boundary they are working in, and let you know the course, cost, and probability of success for us to carry a level in. There is 'about 40 men's ground on the eastern side of main " Kxchange, cut un prospected. I have had in view the potting in of a main level to prospect this large block of country for some time past, but 1 have refrained from recommending it, knowing that the com pany had no means to carry it out. The whole of the C. P. leaders are taking coursesi throu^n the " Exchange" for one junction in the block above-mentioned, and I would btiongly recom mend ths opening up of this country as soon as thsv(the company) have the funds to do so. I believe payable gold will be found in the lodes or leader, wherever intersected by the cross course that cuts through the country from the Beach claim to the City of London.

TMPERIAL SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS. | Dr. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution, M Holborn Viaduct, 8.C.. London, 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subjected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The resultß of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

' Extraordinary Cure of an Auckland Omnibus Drivku, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rhkumatibm. Auckland, August 20,1878. Dear Sir, —I had and most ■ acutely from Rheumatism" for many years, ■ brought on, I believe, from exposure to all . weathers in tbe exercise of my calling. For i years I could not sleep at night, and waa unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at all, and as a natural sequence, 1 my general hpaltb. was also materially mi ured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me. I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to . the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if. occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a leng time, I am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the_ more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, sir,, yours gratefully, Henry Maided. .
