The aerial tramway is so far .complete that the transport of stone from theimhe to the battery has begun, but some surface cutting is found necessary in oue or two places, iv order to allow the buckets to swing clear of the ground. It was in the order of things that engineering prescience could not provide for ■ eve"ry possibility. The tramway is the first of the sort ever erected in this part of the Colony, and a few slight hitches at the start iv a new undertaking of the kind was only what might fairly be expected. It is, however, gratifying that the adaptability of the tramway to the work it has to perform has been assured, and the working out of the details at the cost of a few days extra labor is 1 neither here northere^ The telephone between the mine and battery has been finished, and Mr Gr. W. Sampson rode out yesterday and established electrical connection between the two places, the instruments being shown to be in i perfect working order.
