THE HARTLEY DIGGINGS.—LATER NEWS FROM OTAGO.
The Sea Gull brings up the Otago journals to the 25th ultimo. The excitement consequent upon the new discoveries is ns great as ever. High rates of wages arc spoken of ami the Daily Timex states that “the carpenters have given notice that after the 25th their rate of wages will he 20s. for the eight hours per day,” while it appears “that men arc daily throwing up lucrative situations, and comfortable positions with prospects of promotion,” for their chance at the newly discovered “Eldorado.” The Daily Times publishes a long article, in which if endeavours to cheek the exodus to the Molyftcfcux. The truth is, the outlet for the new diggings is not Dunedin, hut Invercargill; and the Province of Southland, not Otago, will chiefly benefit by this discovery.
