MAJOR.
This is the name of a claim pegged out i on Una Hill by Downie and party, and contain! within iti boundaries 14 men s ground. The shareholders have taken out a crushing of 11 loads from a leader averaging one foot in thickness, and it hM produoed the highly satisfactory return, of 24ozs 3dwts gold. They are also clearing out a low level on the same
lode, which will give ICO feet of backs. The crushing I have referred to cost 10s per load to the mill, but by means ox a pass which will shortly be finished the next, crushing can be got out at consider* ably less than half that price. I hear they intend applying to the County Council for a short piece of road to facilitate the transit of their quartz. *
