OKARITA.
The intelligence from Okarifa per BruCe is most tame and unimportant. No fresh ground having been opened, and of those now rushes that in former issues we have reported favorably upon one has since been proved a duffer. We are • sorry to hear such an account of Cock^ River, which at one time promised fairly, but it has been well tried and proved worthless. We have derived this from a source that may be depended upon. The other " rushes " to the south of Oknrita are progressing steadily, but as far as we can hear no extraordinary finds have been made. At the same time the district is looking up and the township daily extending. We are, however, inclined to think that the late discoveries of new rushes will not prove of such importance as was anticipated when it was" first opened. Okarita was visited with very heavy rain on Saturday last.
