CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents. ] A CORRECTION. (To the Elitor of the Cromwell Argus.) Snv r ~I" your issue of the 2nd hist., you state that the meeting called by myself for the purpose of electing two gentlemen to act as managers of the Cromwell Cemetery lapsed for want of a sufficient attendance. Permit me to inform your readeis that such was not the case ; but, on the contrary, a very fairly attended meeting took place in Mr Harding's commercial room, Junction Hotel (Mr Goodgerin the chair), when Messrs John Marsh and James Pettigrew Taylor were elected to till the two vacancies in the Managing Committee ; and whose names I have sent to His Honor the Superintendent for insertion in the Gazette.—'l am, &c, Patrick Kelly. THE AURORA COMPANY'S REEF. (To the Editor of the Cromwell Argus.) Sir,—ln the report which appeared in your last week's impression regarding the Bcndigo reefs, it was stated that the Aurora Company had discharged their vorkmen. This statement I now find was incorrect; the real facts being, that the full number of hands are still at Work in the claim, and that, although the operations of driving and sinking have been temporarily suspended, this has been done with the view of " blocking out" a large section of the reef which shows very good indications, and of getting out a quantity of stone in readiness for crushing. I also wish to state that the information given in the communication referred to (so far as regards the Aurora reef), was not the result of personal observation on my part, but was gathered from reports current at the time. I am, &c, Your CouiWsi'on'den't.

[We are at all times glad to find space iu our columns for reliable information as to the prospects and progress of the various quartz mining companies at Bendigo and elsewhere ; but we must counsel our mining correspondents to be careful that they send nothing for publication but that which can be vouched for as strictly truthful—Ed.
