Bowden and John Rosevere are tlie locators. They claim to have found the indications about a year ago, but have only recently commenced opening it up. They say they have unearthed indications of former works, in a drift, or incline, which they are running. Old timbers have been taken out and other signs found which prove indisputedly that many years ago work was done on it. There are no signs on the surface of the ground ever having been disturbed. At last report they had not reached the vein, but had taken out some coal, with which If a good body of coal could be they sharpened their picks. found there it would be of immense value.

The pump rod will be SxS inches, and the pump cylinders eight inches in diameter anil stroke twelve strokes per minute. The design is eventually for a double line of pumps. If this pump proves successful, and there is not the least doubt but what it will, there is no reason why it should not come o general use in this camp.
