UNITED VICTORY.

This company are losing no tune in pushing forward the openkg up of their mine. Rising for the wintsind extending >o. 3 level south aretbe chief work* going on inside the mtfle. In the former which is up about 34 feet, the r»af continues to widen, and at the time of my visit yesterday was about . two feet m th# face, and . carrying a- good show of gold, In the level, which has been taken aim* 10 feet north and 85 feet south along ffct> reef, some vary rich stone is being HtfWft oak A shot in the face on Tfsftiliikj afternoon disclosed some of the risiisst specimens yet found in this mine, geld being discernible in every piece of quarts, taken op. The reef here is also widening, being about 18 inches in thickness in the floor but slightly smaller over head, although the walls are much wider, and well defined. Two stones are being take* up with the rise, which is being ssmeir timbered and divided into three pat**-* vis., quarts pass, mßlkck pus,afi4ms»i pass, a substantial ladder trfnf-tgsjßit in the latter ail the war, batwM* J«fc I and 8 levels. Itieexpeotsd tfaattlarito wOl be holed through in kbotrt £ye of six weeks from date. At the battery tht* various works are approaching completion. In connection with the first five heeds, some flooring, and one or two minor works will finish Mr Hungerford's contract ; and Mr Gorringe expects to finish his con* tract for erecting the second five head ife about three weeks. During my visit theturbine was set in motion, and everything appealed to work smoothly, the stampers going at good speed. At present the supply of water available from the small creek above the battery is insufficient for driving th» turbine for any length of time, and the company will probably construct a race about half-a-mile in length from the main creek, which will give a sufficient quantity of water for all purposes. The present appearance of the mine » certainly of the most premising nature, and in* terests in the company are firmly held.
