Von Dadelszen and North :
The metal market does not show any sires of improve-

of consumers and exporters at reduced rates. Speller ex-
ceptionally continues to improve. Iron : The denied for

From North Shepherds (August 21) Captain H. Basset*
writes :—" Sian my report of last week the @batmen have
been busy at work in fixing the penthcuse banging tackla
and are now in a fair way in sinking the engine shaft below
the 20 fathom level. In the 20 end driving west of elegise
shaft the lode is 15 inches wide, yielding lead, soft spar, and
muodic, and vary much improved. This end is really very
promising, and I eau truly say I never saw the lode ladder
so well before. In the 20 end driving east the lads is ea
(10 inches wide), yielding mundic and blends, and still
letting out a large stream of water. In driving this end
about 30 Whams east of engine shaft we shall %tweed •
north and mouth lads underlying east. This %lode was met
with in driving the add level. This lode in the edit is fully
3 feet wide, and I am of the opinion that when this lode in
cut in the 20 fathom level good results will be met with.
The edit shaft is sunk 8 fathoms 1 foot 6 inches below the
surface. We are pushing the sinking of this shaft as fast
as pomade, as we know other lodes wit be met with wham
driving is named."
