Hamilton a specimen of gold-bearing quartz found in the locality, thus clearly indicating the presence of a reef in the neighborhood. We are informed that two parties of men who have been working at the place have made 12s a day for a fortnight, and we are assured that, were the ground thrown open, fully 100 men would be able to make fair wages upon it.

The judicious use of Hop Bitters strengthens, cleanses, and purifies the stomach, bowels, blood, liver, nerves, and kidneys, and is just what you want to build up and invigorate yourself.—Greenbush, U.S.A., Dem.
