The shareholders of this claim, Scott and party, finished a crushing at the Coulabah battery on Monday for the return of sozs lOdwts melted gold. For this return they treated 5 tons of iquartz, and they would have put through two or three tons more had it not been that a fresh in the creek carried away part of the fluming conducting the water to the battery. The winze which the-shareholders have been employed constructing for the past several weeks, is now down 43 feet,and they intend to carry it down 15 feet deeper, and then extendja drive frpni.tlie side of the hill to connect with the bottom of the winze; .The stone has increased in richness as the winze has gone down, and the gold is also of good value, the share holders having.obtained £3 per ounce for the last parcel they banked.
