NEW HUSH AT THE GREY DISTRICT.

The Grey River Argus of the 25th instant says:—“ A rush which is stated to be of considerable importance Las taken place at a terrace about two miles from Kaz-irbuck, distant about twenty miles from Cobden, on the road to Fox's. The workings and prospects are similar to those at Welshman's terrace, at Fox's, and large numbers of men have proceeded to the spot daring the last few days.” The same| journal has the following paragraphs :! —“Facts speak volumes, and all that! •we could say about the prolificness of Moonlight Gully could not carry half the influence that must attach to the circumstance that a party of miners have brought down 700 ounces of coarse gold, which they have deposited in one of the banks, preferring not to sell until they come down again with a like parcel, which they expect to be •able to do in a few weeks. Another interesting fact is that a nugget weighing 30 ounces was found in the same locality a few days ago, and is now in Greymouth, where, we believe, it is the intention of the owner to raffle it. With’such facts as these before them, our mining readers will be able to see that the attractions of the Grey district are still equal to those of any other place on the West Coast. There are unmistakeable signs of a general improvement throughout the! Grey district. The various mining! localities are gradually increasing their population, and consequently their yield of gold. Several new and sue-1 cessful discoveries of auriferous ground have been made in various directions, and the quantity of gold offered for sale at the Banks is much larger than has been expeiieneed for some considerable time. Not the least valuable indication of the general improvement is tbs fact.; that the deposits in the Banks are' increasing. Until lately the deposits of miners particularly hftve undergone serious diminution but

now the process has been reversed, and they are mounting up as fast as they have been decreasing. During the last few days a largo quantity of goods has been sent up the river, and orders irom tue up-country diggings have come in freely. The reaction that has set in at Fox’s, the Pakihi, and the Buller, will doubtless result in the return of a large number of miners to the Grey district, so that we may with confidence look forward to a very marked inerp-.iQn in tbn rfenera! nrns- * D * perity of this part of the country.

HOKITIKA. Later accounts from Pipea’s Flat (Waimea) confirm the good intelligence received a short time since from that locality. The rush is extending every day, and promises to be most important. Several parties of diggers were seen wending their way along the beach to day en route fur the new rush.—West Cnast. Times, July 26.
