PAYABLE GOLD AT BLACK’S.

. . -0- I TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUN* STAN TIMES. ! Sir:—Some few weeks since yon were kind enough to insert in the Danilin Times j at letter of mine, wherein I s’atel that I had sank on the flao at Black's No. 1, whereon the riuaim*3 peopieare located, and 1 found payable Gold. The following week a penny-a-liner, in an Article headed ‘•Strains from Ophir," contradicted me, and insinuated I had told a deliberate lie, without having any opportunity of, ascertaining except from my own statement. I had to leave the Ground from the quantity of water, and also an opposition from a. Party holding a Business License to a portion of the Ground. But this dry Summer the Groundhas hem retaken up, and from the same shaft, a prospect of two pennyweights to the bucket obtained. Now Sir who told the lie, me or penny-a-liner, not me I think, so the falsehood rccoi s hack upon his own shoulders and should make, him more careful in his statements to a Public Newspaper for the future. He signed hinself, “One you know who wan s t know,” In my opinion there is any amount of room for him to know ts speak tho truth. There can he no better guarantee for the truth than appending your proper name, as I have dune; whereas he knowing his statement to be incorrect, sheltered himself under a sobriquet. Fur the futurehcought to coniine his ta’cnt to h : s employees interest by the by, Straus fro n Onhir seem to have collapsed. Perl aps that last stiain was marc than his system cuulel boar; or like a bottle of Lther, uncork it auel , it evaporates. ROBT. FRASER, Miner, Black’s No. 1.
