LATEST FROM KIMBERLEY.
♦ DEPLORABLE ACCOUNTS. Grey River Argus, August 17. Mr Malcolm Graham, late of Orwell Creek, who left here some time ago for the Kimberley rush, finding upon his arrival at Sydney that the accounts from the diggings were not of a very encouraging nature, made up his mind to remain there until the proper season had arrived, or authentic news for good or bad was received. Yesterday he sent a cable message to the Argus office to the effect that Mr Lennon W. Garrod and Mr John Boswell, both of whom had left Orwell Creek for Kimberley amongst the first from the West Coast, had ju3t returned that day from Derby to Sydney, and both gave a most deplorable account of the state things in the Kimberley district, and the prospect before miners now there and going there. As Mr Graham is a man whose statement
can be relied upon implicitly, and as there is no reason to doubt the statement of his old friends Boswell and Garrod, West Coast miners thinking of hieing off to Kimberley would do well to possess themselves in patience for a little while longer. Evidently " all is not gold that glitters" at Kimberloy.
