STovembeb, 13th, 1874.
Matters here are assuming a more lively aspect than they have for some time since, and the prospect of the country opening up does not seem so far in the distance. Surveyors will be placed to work to survey the ground, which will take one month, and then they will require to work hard, before the proclamation of a goldfield. Next week will be the busy week, settling up with the various tribes.
A rather amusing incident, but one which might have caused considerable inconvenience to Mr. Mackay, happened yesterday. Some person or persons acquainted evidently with banking'matters—supposed to be one of our sunburnt friends—quietly sloped with Mr Mackay V cheque book, no doubt under the impression be bad made a haul. Mr. M. devised several ways for obtaining bis lost treasure without avail, until finally bitting upon a plan he informed our' kumeraeaters that he would stop payment of all cheques issued if not returned, when the cheque book was thrown into the office window, and unfortunately the miscreant escaped detection.
