THE DURHAM OX.
This is the last time that notice can be taken of this claim under the above name. The ground hat been taken up by a party of four men who have determined to name the claim "The United," and have taken the usual legal steps to secure their right to the reefs the ground may contain. The Durham Ox has been a sad loss to its late proprietors, one of the best tunnels on the field having been carried in hundreds of feet, at a cost of thousands of pounds. Almost as soon as the present party commenced to work, they struck good gold, and yesterday some good specimens came to hand. The reef, which is about 18 inches thick, and was found in some old workings; had been stripped but not knocked down. The stone is blue and likely to prove a permanent lode.
