At Stewart's Gully, which is being ground" sluiced on a large scale, the different parties are said to be reaping a golden harvest, 'which they richly deserve for the perseverance displayed by them in constructing such costly races. At Whettos Creek, which is also the"Bcene of ex tansive sluicing rtperations, the miners are vigorously employed. Xomeofthepartie who have washed up there recently, got excellent returns.
