Since ray laßt telegram, Westcott's party, Priscilla reef, has found rich surface stono in other parts of his acre block. Twenty-two ordinary qnartz claims have been registered, and several claimholders report having fonad gold in the surface Btuuo. No operations have yet been commenced, but parties are energetically engaged in carting stone from Port Darwin before rains set in. The first shower of the season fell this morning. Diggers are sanguine of good alluvial ground being found, but nothing payable has been discovered as yet. There is a rumor of a new rcof having been discovered, but nothing authentic has as yet been received. At Pine Creek, thirty-one miles south of Weatcott's Creek, on the telegraph line, forty acres of ground have been applied for by the Kapunda prospectors. This includes the ground where M'Lachlan got the first prospect of.Soz. Mr Ford, the leader, has found in an old hole sunk by M'Lachlan, good prospects. The barque Condor arrived at Port Darwin to-day. Pobt Darwin, Sept. G. The Condor has arrived with 120 passengers, all of them unprovided with stores. None bring with them the means of transport. The Government most act immediately, as the force here is totally inadequate to preserve order, otherwise serious results cannot but be apprehended. All the reports from the diggings continue favorable, and steady prepa?ations are making for work. mi. . * TOWNSVILLE, Sept. 6. The report from Charters Towers are much exaggerated.
