THE WEST COAST GOLD-FIELDS.
NEW EUSItAT THE GEEY. The Argus of the 14th instant, says : —“ A new rush has taken place to a branch of the r Grey river, known as the Alexandra Creek, about 43 mileSfrom town. We are informed that about 300 men are on the ground, and several stores, and as there are no complaints it is presumed they are doing well We are promised details in a day or two.” The same paper has the following; “We have just been informed of one of those extraordinary instances of good fortune which attend the miner on this Coast. Fleming and party, seven in all, have just cleared out of a claim on the Sunday Elat, about a mile up the Teremaku river, after seven months’ work with <£lo,ooo. The greater portion of the claim belonged to five of the mates who held seven shares in it, and they therefore clear out with very handsome piles. Instances of this sort are continually occurring, and show beyond doubt the richness of our gold-fields, and the reward which awaits the steady and persevering pursuit of gold on this Coast.”
