The reefing news contuii favourable, but as some time must elapseb fore a crushing, there is no opening for di, gers unless they have sufficient capital for few months' support." Commenting aa on the above the Argus says :—" The tel grains from Townsville, published elsewher should serve to act as a caution to those wl are inclined to risk their fortunes at the nj diggings at Charters Towers.
