Singular Discovery.

The malinger reports that in sinking a shaft for the centrifugal pump, a bed of timber was cut through below tho sand stone formation at a distance of 45ft. from the surface. It was at one timo reported that a coal scani had been found in the direction of Lucas's Creek, but nothing more was heard of it, though many in cline to the belief that such exists in the district. The above discovery is thought to favour the supposition Passing from the region of bricks, we traverse the road cut, round the hill, and follow its wiiidiiigsiintilarriviiigat a bridge in course of construction over the creek, which will be a solid and substantial work when completed, forming a dam us well as afford ing means of conveying material across to the Company's township. The formation of the road and bridge is a heavy piece of work, and has been curried on, like other excavations, in the face of great difficul ties, not the least, being the incessant bad weather. A little further up the creek we notice the gigantic work accomplished in forming a reservoir to hold a million and a half gallons of water. Owing to tho steep and broken nature of the country, it required much skill to devise the best means of construct ing dams and securing the steep embank ments. The way in wlrieh these works have been carried out show that tho manager thoroughly understands his work. Persons who had seen the atccp and narrow defile, with its dense growth of native shrubs and trees, and the gushing waterfall, would scarcely credit, that in the deep and tran quil waters of tho reservoir is hidden this once romantic spot, but such is tlio case. An iron pipe under the embankment is fitted with an outflow valve, by means sf which the dam can be thoroughly emptied or the pressure of water relieved. To pre vent the banks slippiiig,inasonry and brick work have been used where required, and grass sown on the more extensivo faces of the embankments. On another occasion wo will give a fuller report of operations.

THE TRIUMPH DISASTER.

To-Day's Operations.—Tho Vessel Moved Six Feet.

Tiik s.s. Waitaki, which left for the

Triumph last evening, attempted to tow the vessel off at high water to-day with a dogree of success that is very encouraging. Captain Crawford, having dropped anchor n short distance astern of tho Tiiumph, passed a strong hawser on board, and a good pres sure of steam having been got up, he ordered the engines " full speed ahead. Meanwhile tho captain of the Triumph had not been idle. Tho two kedges which had been mn out aft were made fast to two steam winches and a good strain placed upon them. This, with the steady towing by the Waitaki, soon made an impression on the Triumph, nad she was observed to move astern to some distance, which Captain Brotherton estimates at six feet, 'ihero appeared no immediate prospect of getting the vessel further off the rocks, so further efforts were postponed till this evening.
