The first three estimates are at the Adit level, the fourth and fifth at the 80 ft. level, and the lust two at the 160 ft. level].
At this level we are now cross-cutting for the No. III Lode.
Quantity of lode stuff in sight is about 65,000 tons and 4,500 tons at grass, of which about half contains 34 per cent and the other half 2 per cent of black tin.
The general prospects of the mine are very good indeed, and quite up to expectation. For the past six months the percentage of black tin in the various lodes has been rather better than in the previous six months.

FOOTBALL.
Saturday terminated the first week of the football season. From appearances Association players must have been eagerly awaiting its beginning for they lost no time in commencing operations. Daring this one week no fewer than 66 players took the field in the six-a-side games by promoted the Hongkong Football Club and the V.R.C. Evidently neither Club has any lack of material from which to construct its team.
THE HONGKONG FOOTBALL, OLUB SIX- A-SIDE COMPETITION,
The Hongkong Football Club has seven teams in its six-a-side competition. As each team has to meet every other team once, there $225,000 will be a total of 21 games. The result will be arrived at on the League principle. Six games were decided up to Saturday and resulted as follows :-

loon Club, so its success may be looked on sa certain. We understand that a ground has been assigned it at Causeway Bay.
The V. R. C. has had a big increase in mem. bership and its players are practising | very enthusiastically and are confident they will give a good account of themselves. This olub, although an old one, has always had struggling existence both under its old name of "The Colts" and under its present title, but still it has managed to keep going. This season its prospects are better than over before; it has been allotted a ground on the Happy Valley, which will enable it to play much more regularly than before; and, moreover, it has a larger member of young and promising members than ever previously. The secretary has applied, we are told, for a repre- sentative on the Shield Committee.
We notice that the Shield Competition has been arranged to start in November. No doubt the committee has excellent ressons for making this early commencement, but we fail to see how it can be an improvement. If left over until January all the clubs would have time to get Pinckney 1 to 1 into order, but beginning so soon after the com- mencement of the season leaves no time for the arranging and selecting of teams, However, as I stated before, no doubt the committee has reason for this apparently unseemly hurry.

FIRST TWELVE V. THE REST.
The opening match of the season took plaos on Saturday, when the First Twelve, captained by Captain Langhorne. R.A., took on the Rest of the Club, with Dr. Lowson at their head. The rain interfered considerably with the play, and the match could not be played out. Dr. Lowson won the toss and sent in Dr. Tuck and
J. E. Lee. The latter was caught by Lowe when 13, of which he had contributed 11, had been · scored. Lient. Strong, who followed, was caught when the board announced 30, and F. F. Walwyn was dismissed when eight more had been added. At 42 Dr. Tuck was bowled by Lowe. The score continued to creep_up until 168 bad been reached, when all the Rest had been disposed of. The highest score was made by Lient. Izat, whose 29 included one 5, three 4's, three 2's, and six l's. For the Twelve Lieut Campbell and H. Hancock batted first, the former having 30 not out to his credit when the stumps were drawn. ́ Score. :-----

PROSPROTS FOR THE SEASON.
Rugby football does not thrive in Hong- kong (perhaps for the reason that it is easier to $22,144 master eleven men than fifteen), but not so with the sister game of socker. The interest taken $16,869 in the latter has been steadily on the increase for the last four or five years and indications $69,793
are abundant that it wil be greater than ever this year. The Hongkong Football Club, holders of the Challenge Shield, should be even stronger this year, as, with the 3,608 exception of Anton, all last season's team is available, and in addition it has several new *13,401 | members, just out from home, who have good reputations. Whether these latter will be justi- $15,869 Bed or no, of course, remains to be seen.
Of the military teams we have heard little, bút have no doubt that both the 38th Co. R.A. 57,969 | (last year's finalists) and the 25th 8.D., R.A., will put good elevens on the field. The Royal $73,401 Welch Fusiliers did not distinguish themselves last seasou, but may be will do better this. The naval teams are to us an unknown quantity.
