reporus as follows, under date of the 27th inst.
Taking the immense size of the lode, coupled with its
productive character, that is now not only at the 88, but
bas gone below this point se well for my guidance in the
100, I am confident that an abundance of oopper ore will be
the result of extensive operations at the present deepest
leveL In opening on the lode eastward beyond the influeoce
of the creeecourse at the 88, the leader preeents prospects
esceedipenrear enoonravng, such as to place success at no dis-
tant beyond doubt. The speculums which contain a
portion of blonde and silver lead ore are from Chet:roam:owes
so recently met with east at the 88. The latter is • most im-
portant feature in connexion with the present productive
state of the lodes—it indicates large deposits of ore.

ment of the Cortese :—" Oa the 15th of the prweet moots
three young 110111014 named Marie DUliar, Anna Rivamou,
and Marie Maraud, who lived in the commune of Lame-
Ure, were watching their flocks of sheep. A violent
thunderstorm burst over the country towards five in the
afternooe. Rain fell in torrente, and the flashes of
lightning rapidly succeeded each other. The shepherd-
esses, taken unawares, had so time to collect their sheep.
The two first named sought shelter from the storm
under a chestnut tree. The third placed herself under as
oak at about 20 yards from her companions. On a sadden
thunder was heard above their bead, a ball of fire struck
the chestnut tree under which stood Didier sad Itivasson.
Marie Maraud observed the fire, she perceived • smell of
sulphur, which ahead suffocated her, and she fainted. On
her recovery she maw Marie Didrer and Anna Hiram*
lying lifeless under the chestnut tree, their clothe. barn;
and them wooden shoes split by the lightning. Near them
lay five sheep and an ass, likewise dead. The shepherdess's
dog lay near his mistress, cut into two parts. Marie Maraud
hasteeed to Legranliere to meek assistance, brit it was use-
less, for the death of her companioes had been instill-
famous."
