SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
The South Australian Advertiser of the 13th inst. says : — " The following information, which wa believe to be perfectly reliable, has just come to hand respecting a new discovery at the Barossa diggings : —Great news here. We have made the finest discovery since the field has been opened. Mr Clements' party have discovered a cement hill in Green Gully, near the crushing machines, which has yielded a prospect to-day of odwt to little more than half a bucket, equal to lOoz per ton. There is a large extent of similar country adjacent to that. This promises to be a most valuable discovery. The excitement on the diggings is tremendous. I suppose there must have been 400 men to see the prospect taken, and there are hundreds of claims pegged • out. From all I have seen of it 1 think that Barossa will be greater in three months than it has ever been."
