THE DART GOLDFIELD.
Mr Quinn, wh> returned from the Dart diggings last week, gives some further par ticulars. »- e states that the river has of late been too high from melting of the snow to permit of any but the back beaches being worked. Men are only able to make from L2 to L 3 per week now, but they will proearn from L 7 to LlO during the midsummer weather. Just before the late fresh thrt.e men took 2oz sdwt>? of rough gold oil the bottom of a small paddock on one. of the, lowerbcaehe.fi. A party of Mure M 'Donald, M'Henry, and O'Dea—went up to thy Forks about ten days previously ahd had not returned when Mr Qninn came down. Apparently they were comparatively comfortable, as smoke was seen issuing from the bush at the head of the river and, as the men took a good stock of provisions, it is probable they will make an effort to give the locality a fair trial. Quinn's party have built another hut —much larger than the first one, and lower clown, on the opposite side of the river—for the purpose, we believe, of storing goods.— ' Wakatip Mail.''
