Mackay advises a large consignment of wool (108 bales),
and adds that the quantity of that article will be much
greater this year than heretofore, but that the continued
droughts would, unless a change took place, materially
affect the tallow season, the immediate prospects of
which were discouraging. Mr. Beeger transmits Capt.
Bray's report for October on the workings at the mine.
At the east end of the level the lode had become wider,
and of a more promising appearance, with rpots of ore,
and Mr. Beeger expected they should meet with ore
there, as there was a large mass of mundic with
ore above it in the upper levels. Ninnis's shaft
had not been sunk more than three fathoms, on
account of water, and the small engine would be set at
work the next week, and the sinking resumed. The lode
in the shaft, had assumed an improved appearance, and
the old miners expected to find a bunch of ore. A party

was left standing when me out workings were sus-
pended." _ _
