ADELAIDE.
This claim, which it will be remembered was purchased two months ago for a comparatively small sum by Mr James Mellhaney, seems likely to prove a good " spec." When Mr Mcllhaney purchased the ground, the leader was about three inches thick. The new owner commenced driving where the old shareholders left off, and in a short time the leader opened out to a healthy lode two and a half feet in thickness. There is about 180 feet of backs from this level to work out and as for years past the leader has been payable, the is a likelihood of plenty of gold coming out before the ground is Suffered. I may mention that the gold bridns something over £3 per ounce.. A crushing of 35 tons was finished to-day for the excellent yield of olozs 18dwts gold.
