MINING NEWS.

.:,-:..■ NO; TOWN. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT. ] July 9. There is no scarcity this week of mining news to report, the chief difficulty is where to begin. Commencing with Rough 1 and Tumble Gully, the last new rush to it some eight days since has given this gully one of those periodical, returns of population which, a district like No Town will for years be subject to. The prospector, George Howe, an old No Townite, having succeeded in getting payable gold in one of the numerous terraces with which this gully abounds, caused this last rush, and besides his, who was the prospector, there are alreajdy five other, payable claims ; and although the gold is patchy it is easily obtained, there being nolongbng and expensive specs to coniend with. " : Cockney .Terrace is still giving some fine parcels of gold. Several of the claims on: the higher levels (lately put |in) washed up last week with surprising 'results—so much so. that not any one of the storekeepers could buy single-handed ihe amount of gold offered by one particular company from this terrace. ' ! The terrace known as Quinlan's, up the left-hand branch of No Town Creek, lias still some ten or twelve claims yielding weekly large parcels of gold, claims! of three mens' ground giving a. week LB,. Ll2, and Ll6 per man. ' At Abe's Guily, judging by the doings of those that cajme to town on Saturday, and the money siince then thrown broadcast amongst the publicans, that their last washings up must have been unusually satisfactory. . ; Aberdeen Terrace is again attracting a population, being daily replenished wfith miners from Abe's Gully, and iti is whispered the old terrace Is about to give up some of the treasures that has so lbng lain hidden inits bowels. j Maori Gully No. 2 has since my last contributed also its fair share of jthe precious metal, some of the claims yielding Lls a week per man, and, without quoting .aiiy of the other gullies oriterraces, it can be &id that since sundown on Friday the' gold; sold in No Town -has exceeded in value, the amount sold during the Christmas week of 1871. „ j The. next Resident Magistrate's and Warden's Court will be held on Monday, the 15th instant. \ .
