trust successful dramatic aso at tho
Opera House, commencing with Shsri-
dan Knowles great fye-act play, enti-
tied "Thc H~unchback, with Miss
Annette Iuce as Julia, and Mr.. Harry

Crown PoISr.-Werk in the east
drift from the l,l0o-foot station was
suspended several days ago, in order to
make necessary repairs to the main
shaft. The drift was in about 100 feet
when they quit. The timbcring Of the
shaft was sound enough, but it was
crowded in places by the swelling OF the
ground and the flank tagging between
the sets Of timbers was broken from the
same cause, so that the cages would
catch in passing. By removing the lag
ging and the pressing ground the crowd
ing upon the timbering is relieved, after
which new tagging is put in. About
200 feet Of the shaft was thus out OF nix
and it will take somo weeks longer be-
fore the necessary repairs nre completed
and drifting east re commenced.
