ALEXANDRA.
—o—f From our own Correspondent ) September 28. Iverson’s Quartz-Mining Company, Conroy’s Gully, cleared their battery and tables on Friday last, the result being a cake of amalgam weighing about HOozs, from a little loss than 100 tons of stuff, a great deal of which, I am informed, was of a nmllocky nature. The battery commenced work again on Friday afternoon. The stone, of which a a large quantity is being taken out of the tunnel, continues to look very promising. Good indications of the reef are being obtained by other companies along this line of reef. The Alexandra Company, Butcher’s Gully, have sent an order to Kincaid, M‘Queen, and Co., Dunedin, for a cast-iron primp, 80 feet long, and 5 inches in diameter, with everything appertaining thereto complete. I believe it will be on the ground in about three weeks. The Manuherikia Ground-Sluicing Company, after a long spell of bad luck, are beginning to get very fair prospects in their claim at Mutton Town Point. The body of John Farley, who was drowned in the Molyneux on the 10th August last, was found on Friday. Mr Pyke, as coroner, held an inquest on the body on Saturday, ■when a verdict of “ Found drowned” was returned.
