THE WARDEN'S OFFICES.
The temporary office of the Warden was in a long canvas covered tent, one side of which was altogether thrown open, and within was a table the whole length of the tent, at which ,the Warden and clerks stood. As before mentioned a strong fence was placed within arm's length of the long table. The studs or uprights supporting the building served to divide the whole length into compartments about 6 feet in width, and ujjon the studs were posted notices stating that the rights from such a number to another would be issued at the different compartments. This enabled the men to know at once where their rights would be issued, as the ticket first given had written upon it the numbor of the Miner's Right. At one end tho rights applied for by Mr Mackay on behalf ot those who gave him their money over a week ago were issued, and altogether the arrangements could scarcely have been better made, ai» the result proved, for all the rights were delivered to applicants in seven and a half minutoa.
