change worthy of notice. The lode in the wince sinking
below the bottom of the 41 west is worth 4 tons, or 121. per
fathom. In the 30 east the lode is about 5 feet wide, sad
worth 4 ton; or 161. per fathom. The lode in the slopes
in the bottom of this level west of the wince is looking well,
being worth 6 teas, or 181. per fathom. In the 10 east the
lode is from 4 to 6 feet wide, consisting of quart; peach,
mandic, and °tractional stones of ore. The lode irt the
back of this level is about 3 feet wide, worth 4 tons, or 164
per fathom. The tribute department continues to yield
much the same as for some time pert. The ground in the
new eastern shaft is still favourable for sinking, being •

but he was too far gone in liquor to render such assistance,
and she was left lying on the floor by the fire. In about

the house being entered by the neighbours, the body of the
