The Teetulpa Goldfields.

Adelaide, November 9th. — On Monday the> Commissioner of Grown Lands of South Australia received the following message from the warden of goldfields who is now at Teetulpa :— ■" The diggers are still getting good coarse gold in Brady's Qufty, and also in Reservoir Gully, the western branch of,. Brady's Gully. &. new rush at'; Gosling c Gully is reported. Some are" doing well. I saw some rough gold, and heard that one man had obtained an ounce nUgget. About 30 are washing at Tonkin's well, some with very good results. Mr Krichauff states that he saw some one with 4oz washed out ol the washdirt in Brady's Gully. In this gully south east from JBradyJa only colours are obtained. In the afternoon I waß out about ten miles south searching fox- the reported rush near Salt Spring, Winninie run. I found no sign of men digging or haying washdirt. It is reported that a rush has taken place towards Mount Victor. ' The special correspondent of the South Australian " Kegister" has sent tho follow ing report from the field :— " Good work was done on Saturday ; the majority of the men are working well, and appear conten-' ted. The finds in Roservoir Gully are eaid to have bean good. The men working there previously found but little. Those in Gosling's Gully are also doing well. I hear on good authority that over an 02 nugget was found yesterday. I have no large finds to report, and the ejeneral opinion in Brady's is that no 301b nugget has boon found. The men, however, are very reticent as to the X'osults, and this is considered to be a eign that they are doing well. In conversation with a Victorian be tells me that he is quite at fault on the field, and all his oxperience avails him nothing in showing where the lead is to be found, but he says it will be found before long. Tho wonder is that ie was not tound boforo. A great f-enea-tion had been caused in Brady's Gully by a largo find of gold in Gosling's on Monday. A great ru?h bus set in to the latter guliy. It vaß ascertained that Hugh O'Kuin, a Victorian, found 2-loz of courd© gold. There were quite eignt hundred miners in the gully about four hours after tho news came, and Brady's Gully was comparatively desertedfc About one hundred men aro washing ac Tonkin's well Ryan and Collins hay. taken about 3oz from Go&ling's Gully during the last week The weather on tho field is fine and warm. The assistant warden issued over ono hundred miner©' rights on tho day of tho find in Gosling'o Gully.
