The Canterbury Rowing Club, the largest rowing club in New Zealand, has 761 members. On the great Orsk goldfield, in Siberia, all may dig free of charge, but they must sell their gold at a fixed rate to the proprietors. Considerable interest continues to be shown in regard to the recent gold discovery at Rimu. Experienced miners say that the gold struck at Brookes and Party’s claim is as rich as any gold that has 'been dieooverd on the West Coast for the past thirty years. If the 100 acres reservation is thrown open (says the “West Coast Times”), it! is believed that the whole area would' be taken up and a large amount of prospecting done.
