WESTLAND BATTERY.
As already stated in my lust renort, (bis mnob mo stnrtod on last Wednesdsy morning, and up fo to-day at 11 o'clonk n.m , eighty tons of stono havo been redueod j at tlmt hour a temporary stoppage was onusod in oonseqnenoo of tho oontraelor beiui? unable to work tbo lruek,« on tbo tramway loading Irom tbo mine to tbo Intorinedialo paddock. Tbo full trucks : como down tbis part of tho lino by gravi- i tation, nnd as the tram is carried along t the sidoling of a terrnoo and has a good . number of curves witb a moady grade ull tbo way, it requires a person possessed of | praotioal know lodge and a good nervo to i pilot thorn through, especially when tbo 1 weather is wet and tho lino slippery. .Willi I ! a good steersman in oharge I do not think similar stoppages would take place iv tbo i
future. Tbo plates show well for tbo quantity of stono put. through.
