We bad some frightful wet and windy weather up here last week... Duiiiig the gale ou Saturday, a tree fell between a couple 'of tents on the Queen of Beauty :claim, and kind of scared the occupants. lit was a close share with one of the men, 'as ho was lying in bis bed jit the time, and one-side of his tent was dragged off. i 'There is no mining news of any moment, ,'tlie Golden Crown not having struck the reef yet, and any others not on the reef don't expect to see it for a week or two yet The Golden Point have one shift driving on" the reef, and getting some 'splendid looking stone, which promises better than anything they hare got before. ■There is some talk of the Golden' Point and Queen of Beauty qlaims amalgamating, as both, claims could bo better worked ; and they would be able to erect machinery for themselves, without troubling outsiders. We had Inspector Newall and some

Crahamstown people up hove last week, having a look round the different claims. One of the Golden Point shareholders amuses himself these evenings ' by .train-. v ing a dog and cat-belonging;to the camp, 5; .so that>a"uy circus ,or dramatic company payJng a visit, can be assisted by local talent. The dog is 30 well trained that no ' visitor ever approaches the \ c.amp without enquiring about b's health.
