The Deep Lead Company, Blacks No. 3, had a washing-up last week from about 20 or 30 loads which they have lately taken out ; the results, I learn, the quantity of precious metal obtained were most satisfactory, , Mr Robert Love, the late manager of the company, has marked out a large claim on the lead, and it is stated he has applied for the county boring rods to prospect for deep ground. There is no active work just now at the Serpentine reefs, that country being several feet deep in snow, but there is great activity observable amongst shares, a good many changing hands. There is little doubt but that there are good things up in that land of snow and swamp, and next spring I prognosticate will see a large population there.
