LYELL MINING.
(times.) ALPINE RANGE. CROESUS. Friday, October 13. The presort contract in this company's No. 2 level has been driven to tW,te aliout 112 feet. A softer run of country was met with early in the week, but it only lasted a few foot, and the driving is now again very hard. No. 2 ALPINE. Still driving cross-cut west. About 5 feet have been driven but there is as yet no apperance of the reef, although well-defined walls, about four feet apart, with scattered quartz, have been following the whole distance. UNITED ALPINE. The hands engaged in cleaning the slip which recently destroyed a portion of this company's race have not yet completed "epairs, as, just as a clearance was effected, a fresh run of mullock took place, causing some further delay. It is expected, however, that the water will be turned on on Monday, when the battery will once more be set going. There is a very large quantity of quartz broken out, the. whole of the paddocks, the trucks, and very pass and other available storage place full of stone and yesterday the manager was compelled to knock off nearly all hands until the battery is ready to start, as there is now no room to work in the stopes.
