THE LAKES. The quarz crushing machines at Skippers and the Upper Shotover are now at full work. Miners throughout the district are also endeavoring to make up for lost time during the previous inclement weather. The large number of Chinamen who have reached Queenstown during the past week are so thoroughly dispersed among the ya ; rious creeks and gullies, that their presence is almost imperceptible. Several have gone the Kingston way; while some are prospecting the Te Anau country. —Considerable at-
tention is being giren to land in the neigh* borhood of Kingston since the visit of Messrs Carruthcrs and Blair, engineers. It is said some 20,000 acres will be thrown open on the line of rail way from Winton to Kingston, and stretching down below the terraces near the Nokomai.— MaV.
