LATEST FROM THE ROCK AND PILLAR RUSH.
We have learnt from a reliable authority,, that the accounts in the Dunedin papers of the Rock and Pillar rush, have baen! very much exaggerated. About twenty-five men are at work on gold, making from £8 to £l2 per week, in a gully sloping, from the source of the Catburn.
No ground is now open, but what was secured at tirqt by the Hyde men. About 200 men, attracted to thii field by the current reports, left again several days ago, disgusted. Opinion is, that the gully will be worked out in three weeks.
