KAWARAU GORGE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) December 8, 1873. The near approach of the (Christmas holidays has the usual effect here, —viz., of causing a seeming stagnation in matters of mining interest, and leaves the last few weeks of the year but a barren period for the journalistic efforts of your correspondent. He is consoled, however, by the assurance he feels that this apparent dullness is only a sign of the vigour with which operations are carried on, and that this season of the year is one in which much work and little talk is the order of the day. All the claims are In full swing, and those parties who will be washing up within the next three weeks have no doubt of the proceeds being quite up to, if not beyond, the average. It would be as difficult as superfluous on the part of your correspondent, after your exhaustive article in last issue, to try his hand at the great bugbear of the day,—viz., the reduction in the price of gold. He can only endorse the opinions expressed therein, as being those of all who understand the subject, and are truly interested in the welfare of the gold-fields, and through them of the country at large.
