OUR ARROW LETTER.
• Arrow, June 30, I forward the following additional particulars iu reference to the fatal accident on the Shotover Deceased (James Carolan) and bis male were down > about tw.lve feet with a shaft, Carolan being below; the surface had been stripped from one .side of the hole to make a bench for receiving dirt thrown up. This side slipped in, jurying deceased over the bead 1 ; his mat# jumped in, and bad nearly uncovered Carolan’s head when another fall filled up nearly four feet more of the shaft, and he(was compelled to struggle out and obtain help, which was at once procured and deceased got out within twenty minutes—but quite dead. Information was forwarded to Qoeenstown and Police-constable Cameron visited the place. An inquest was, under the circumstances, dispensed with, and deceased was followed to his grave by a la rge number of miners from all parts of the Shotover. Several prospecting companies are forming to test various quartz lodes in the Arrow district, the success of the Phoenix tributers having fairly startled the district, and the mining interest here appears to be on the eve of a great revival.
The weather is unusually fine and mild for this season of the year.
