THE LAKES.
(From the Correspondent of the Dunstan Times.) The escorts this week are above the average, and the effects of the late flood have been in most cases set right by this time, so that mining news generally may be considered satisfactory. -Shares in various quartz claims fiave been chang ing hands at high figures ; four of the original proprietors of the Scandinavian sold out last week at £1,100 a man, and the Vulcan Company arc said to have obtained a handsome sum for their leasehold. The Criteron Company, Arrow River, are pushing on their works, and have nearly completed the dam. Shares are quoted at £40, with a tendency to rise. Large areas of land are being taken up for agricuitm-al purposes. Upwards of 500 acres have been applied for during the last week in this and the Arrow districts. A flour mill is about to be erected at the Falls of Kawara >•, near the Hospital, so that next year, we may hope to raise our own necessaries of life, without troubling the merchants below, or waiting on the dilatory dray.
