THE KUMARA RUSH.
Thepopularity of this place, according to the '■ West Coast Times' of Monday, is still increasing, and fresh shafts are daily going down. Two parties, known as mated party, or Rourke and party and Warren and party, situated on Ross Terrace, bottomed on Wednesday last, at a depth of over 100 ft, and on the following day they, washed a load of stuff which gave 9dwts to the load, with sft of good payable wash. New claims on all' sides t>f Rourke and party are sinking. They all intend working their claims by tunnels, which will run from 600 ft upwards. These claims are on the terrace, about two miles and a half from the township, and abeut one mile beyond the break, running in the direction of the Loop, line road. Good prospects have been got beyond Rourke and party's claim, but not equal to theirs. Several shafts now in course of sinking will be bottomed in about a week. LI 60 is asked for a share in Rourke and party's claim. The rush is looking exceedingly well, and promises to carry an immense population, much larger than was ever anticipated by thiSinost sanguine.
