NO NAME RUSH.

(FR.OM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) November 31. The favorable opinion that the miners have held during the last few weeks respecting this part is now being home out, for s6 far as regards the immediate vicinity of No Name nine or ten different parties have got what is reported as payable pro-spects--two un Donegal Terrace, two on the north side of No Name Terrace, four on the south side facing Cement Creek, and one (if not two) on .German Terrace. The grand test of thoroughly proving what ihe real value of some of these claims is will soon be applied, as the men are now bringing in water on Donegal Terrace, so. they will shortly know what the ground will pay, as its patchy nature prevents any one arriving at even an approximate idea of how it will eventually turn out, but it is generally believed that it will return good wages. It is a work of considerable difficulty to get water to command the terraces about there, and the only wonder is that it can be found at all,, considering their height, for it cannot be much less than 200 feet above the bed of the creek where it has to be used. Costello and party, who took in a tunnel from Cement Creek, have been compelled to take in another from the opposite side, of the terrace for the convenience of washing. There are several parties, engaged in tatting in tun&els in different directions, but it remains to be seen how far they will he successful. It is to be hoped, however, that good fortune will attend them, for there are plenty of hardships to be endured in the bush without being disheartened with disappointment. There are even hardships to De endured if a man is successful, and perhaps there is no greater proof of this than the litigation that is being carried on at the present time. It is bad enough to becompelled to go to law to enforce one's rights when it is known where the case is to be tried) but it is much worse when men have first to go to the Eight-mile, then to the Greenstone, adjourned from one to the other, and to find no court, and then to have to go to Greenstone again, perhaps with a similar result. How long is thia child's-play to last on the part of the Government, for what may be fun to them is not so to the hard-working miner who is taken away to a distance for no purpose, loses his time, money, and incurs a heavy expense, because the authorities cannot see the necessity of some alteration being made with respect to the Warden's Court; Why is there not a Warden's Court at Marsden? Here is a centre, and a. place that a Warden could live, instead of residing out of the district, as at present. A Warden's Court must be established at Marsden, nothing less will satisfy the mining community, for so dissatisfied aie they that they purpose memorializing the

General Government rather fchan submit to the hardships that they have now to endure. They say, and very justly, that their wants are completely ignored, that the Wardens instead of holding courts to convenience them act exactly opposite, and suit their own convenience. The miners, also, say that six months since they petitioned to have a Post Office established at Clifton, but up to the present time nothing has been done excepting calling for tenders, and for the service to commence next year. A post office ought to be opened at Marsden, and that forthwith. The District Surveyor was here yesterday, and laid out the township. Most of the business sites were taken up before, and those remaining were pegged off immediately. The township is to be named Nemona — which presents a puzzle for its meaning. ______
