MINING REPORT.
The return of gold for the past week has been fully up to tbe average, and we have nothing special to report on matters this side of the river, with the exception of tbe christening of another “incline balance tank lift,” in Ryan and Co’s claim, on the Laxrakin Terrace, and tbe sale of a one-sixth share in a tunnel and claim at Dillman’s for £llO. On the north side of the river one claim on the west side of the Greenstone bottomed last Saturday and get 17 pennyweights off the bottom. Another claim got 14 pennyweights off the bottom. At Murphy’s rush the recent rain has enabled several paddocks to be washed up. Moran and party, from 90 loads, got 82 ounces. The next claim to them, that of Clune and party, from about 110 or 112 loads, got 98 ounces. Hinds and party averaged half an ounce to the load. Clune and party have driven through deep ground and have four feet of wash dirt, giving a prospect of 4 to 6 pennyweights to the dish. There are four o' five other good claims on the same terrace. Morris and party have struck gold higher up the terrace in a tunnel they have been driving on the fede of “ the break.”
