THE REEFS.
We have news from the Carrick Reefs up till Saturday night. The Royal Standard battery was then off work, waiting for stone ; and the Star-and-Oak battery has ceased crushing in consequence of the frost interfering with the action of the mercury. The Elizabeth Company are putting through a crushing from their own claim, and will clean up to-night. The Elizabeth, Star of the East, Heart of Oak, and Hob Roy, are all busy raising stone. The Duke of Cumberland shareholders have commenced sinking a new shaft, with the object of striking the main reef, which they expect to cut at a depth of 70 or 80 feet. Several new claims, and one or two formerly abandoned, including the Black Horse, have been pegged out during the last week or two ; and altogether the prospects of the locality are of a cheering character.
