MELBOURNE.
December 18
An important discovery was made in the Clunes Quartz Company of a new reef at a depth of a thousand feet, being the deepest gold-bearing reef in the colony. Large heavy gold has been seen in /the blue alate, and also in the solid quartz. This disproves the statements that the reefs get poorer as they dip. Letters by the last mail state that a very strong team of professional cricketers
will come to the colonies at the ecd of next year.
