The following report is from are Prince of Wales'
dated 28th November :---" In the 45 east we
have not as yet reached the north wall of lode east
of cross course, but, so far as seen, the lode is full
wo feet wide, worth £lO per fathom. Other parts
of the mine are looking well."
Subjoined is a report from the agent of the New
Tamar Silver Lead Mine :--." The lode in the ten
fathom level driving south is two feet wile, com-
Posed of friable spar flookan, elvan, and rich silver-
lead ore, and is worth, of the latter, 7 cw ts. per
fathom. This level is now opening out good profit-
able ground, with every appearance of its daily im-
Provin g. Seeing
the beautiful change which has
taken place in this level /A it has progressed south,
both in the country and in the character of the
lode, I have not the least doubt but that it will prove
one of the best things brought before the public for
some time past."
