GOLDEN TREASURE.
This company are making satisfactory | progress with tbe extension of the main ' level, and (he sinking of the winze. The former work ha 3 now reached a distance of 90 feet from the chamber. The track of the reef is being followed, and a lot of broken quartz, containing gold is continually being met with, but except apparently strong indications, no signs of tbe solid reef are as yet forthcoming. The nature ot the country and former surface discoveries in the vicinity, howeyer, point to the probability of a good and solid body of stone a little to the north of tne-iyesenH face. The sinking of the winze had on Friday evening beeu carried to a depth of 59 feet on a regular and well*o!en i ned body of stone of from 2 feet to 4 feet in thickness and the quartz raised therefrom, if allowance is made for a small percentage of mullock, which during sinking cannot be separated, is fally up to the quality of stone, lately crushed from the slope.
