Work has been resumed at the Round TTill tunnel, and the contractors are now advertising for a~ number of practical miners, as they intend pushing on the work with all possible speed. At the Glenore tunnel less than a chain now remains to be pierced, and the manager expects to have the heading drive through within three weeks. The crops on Miller’s Flat are magnificent this year. Oats throughout the district will average sixty bushels to the acre, and in some instances as high as eighty bushels is the estimated yield. In compliance with the request of Mr J. C. Brown, M.H.R., the Acclimatisotioii Society have agreed to send 100 trout to Lawrence to be placed in the Tuapeka river and the Crookburn. Mr W. Jamieson, late manager of the Bank of New Zealand at Lawrence, on leaving the district, was presented with a gold watch and chain, as a mark of the esteem in which he was held by the residents.
