The Nenthorn correspondent of one of oar contemporaries writes as follows :— A more through collapse would not occur to any field than which has taken plaee here. It is not quite 12 months since I had the pleasure to report that the miner* here had donned their workipg apparel and could be seen moving to their work iit the orthodox manner, and that the field would soon be tried. Now, it oppears, we are as far off as ever from the goal of our hopes. A few thousand pounds have been spent in machinery, a few more in ' roads and races, and a few hundreds in actual mining ; and- because the small amount of mining done will not fay for the whole concern it is all terminated in a huge fizzle. I have been upon many quartz fields since the latter end of the " fif ies," and this is certainly the great* est " South Sea Bubble" that it has been my lot to see It aggravates the case very mo ch to be obliged to confess that' the prospects hare been general and fairly good, hnd that, they are yet rendered, by some 1 inex 1 cable sleight of hand, no good whatever. ... . ;
