RETURNED DIGGERS.
We understand that a number of diggers who left the Thames during the receut rush to Queensland returned per s.s. Hero, aud express their disgust at the chase they have had in search of a will-o'-the-wisp auriferous region. One of the unhappy rovei-3 sold ten scrip in the Caledonian just before his departure for £10 each, aud other mining interests at equally ridiculous figui-es, whereby he reckons his loss at some £3000, besides loss of time and expenses of travelling, which in Australian districts is an important consideration. In company with others of the returned miners ho now expresses his belief that, taking it altogether, there is no better place than New Zealand, and it will be long ere he is again induced to travel on such a fool's errand.— Advertiser, March 29.
