INVERCARGILL.
This day.
A representative of the Southland News was interviewed this morning by a practical miner of long colonial experience, who was recently enticed, by, a highlycolored newspaper account, to leave New; South Wales for the New Mount Giffie (?) Criffel goldfields, near Lake Wanaka, Otago. He reports that the best and ODly payable ground has been already taken up by three parties. The field is situated at a considerable altitude. There is no fuel in the locality, and as for the water supply, you have to depend upon the snow. Outside of the small alluvial area already held, the party were unable to obtain a color of gold.
