SOMETHING LIKE A GOLD MINE.

6000 oz. TO THE TON. A Masfcerton resident has just shown - us a letter which he has received from a relative of his who is engaged in gold-mining operations in New South Wales. This gentleman—a Mr Inglis... —after saying that he had been very, lucky so far in all Ms mining speculations, goes on to refer to the prospects of the Golden Gully Company, of which he is chairman. This company, is, it seems, going to have its in February, but is in the meantime engaged in testing -the quality of the reefs. So far these trials have given results of a most astonishing character, the yields being so rich as to : cause much excitement, and to bring numbers of mining men to the scene of the operations. As a short description of the finds cannot fail to interest our readers, and as it is .especially seasonable at a time when prospecting operations are going, on in our own district, we reprint the following from the Melbourne Argus of 21st December last;" Some very fine specimens of gold bearing quartz from the Golden Gully mine at Ironbarks, N.S.W., "were brought from Sydney yesterday by Mr D. ft. Inglis, the chairman of the company, and were exhibited at the office of Mr E. Tayler, Queen .street. The locality was worked fifteen years ago and proved wouderfully rich, the surface stuff going SOoz.to the dish, j& in one shaft (No 1) £5,000 wortfig? "■' gold was raised in one bucket of stuff. : During the last few weeks a discovery has been made at the 80ft level in. the Prince. Billy shaft. A decomposed ironstone reef 18in wide has been struck, and found to go between 1,000 oz and 5,0000z to the ton. Mr S. 8. Vale, the Sydney assayer, washed 21b 6oz of this stone, and obtained 4oz Hdwt 6gr of pure gold, valued at M an ounce. A foot away is a mispickle lode somewhat similar to the Lucknow stone, which, with serpentine, measures froml2in to, 18in. Adjoining is a quartz reef 14in wide, and a short distance therefrom a limestone 18in wide, wasMngs from winch giveioz to the' dish. The'stone will be on view in the window of Messrs Young and Co., Collins-street, N to-day.' (

COLLISION IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, . A terrible collision between two steamers occurred in- the Enffjfe Channel on .the night of SaturtSy, November 19th, by which nearly 140 ?* lives were lost hi the screw steamer *ft W. A. Scholten, 4000 tons burden, I *;* belonging'to the Netherlands, American mail sendee. It seems that the ■ vessel left Rotterdam, to which port she belongs, on Friday morning, the" l'3th, and was bound with passengers and general cargo, for New York, She : had on board 210 passengers :and.~; crew, all told. Of these, 78 were saved, the remainder having, it is supposed, all perished, After the vessel left Rotterdam,) all went well, except that she encountered: foggy weather, and was unable to make much progress, On Saturday evening the captain of the Scholten deemed it advisable to anchor till it cleared up. The vessel anchored about ten miles to the south-east of South Sands Head lightship, and remained' there until about ten o'clock, when, the fog liaving lifted' and the weather literally cleared, anchor was weigheoifad . the vessel proceeded on her voyage. The collision occurred at half-past ten, and at the time the captain and three officers were on the Bridge, the proper. number;of officers on the bridge being only two, but owing to the hazy weather, for the safety of tke vessel, is was deemed: advisable to have an | additional watch until she got out' of the channel. From the statements of both passengers and crew,lh|ta is not the slightest doubt that a good look-out was kept on the ill-fated ship.. : Soon after the vessel got under weigh a. steamer was seen riding at -anchor with lights up and showing no side lights.' The : Scholten-gradually approached the other- vessel, the officers giving her &s they supposed, ' sufficiently wide berth to clear her amply. When, however,-they got near the vessel, they saw, accorJjM to; ■ the statement of the survivo&jlr the • Scholten,.that she .was; steaming towards them, and'a collision appeared imminent, Every- precaution was taken tp pvept this pji. board tjig Scholten. The- whistles blop and other signals., were. ma|e to her, but either it' was too late, or there waa:

not a good look out, and the vessels oamo into collision. The other steamer which was tho Eosa Mane, of Hartepool, and which has since put into Dover, struck the Scholten on her port bow, near the tore rigging, and mado a Jflp breech, The second steamer drifted away, rendering no assistance to thf Scholten, which at once began to settle down, and in 15 or 20 minutes she sank. Tho captain and first officer sank with the vessel, after trying to the last to maintain order on board and save as many as possible. Nearly all the passengers wero below when fhe accident occurred but only a few had actually retired for tne night, most of the passengers taking part in an entertainment that was then proceeding. There seems to have been an uulimited supply of lifebelts on tho' vessel, and everyone onboard, in obedience to the commands of the officers possessed themselves of one. Many passengers did not pspperly adjust them in the panic ifvhich ensued. The vessel settled down by the head very quickly, and sho ultimately plunged head foremost to the bottom, with her stern high, in the. air. The screams of the drowning all round the ship are described as -terrible; and they attracted theEbro, screw steamer, belonging .Jo Sunderland, which picked number of persons, and eventually landed the whole of the saved at Dover. The water was so intensely cold that many victims became paralysed, while others drifted away helplessly beyond the reach of the rescuing steamer, Many of those rescued were so benumbed and exhausted that it was a long time before they could be resuscitated after they were taken on board the Ebro, and the first mate and a child died on board that vessel. The rescued were in a most pitiable condition. They were scarcely half clad, without hat or boots, and some were barefooted. Many were suffering from exhaustion and were unable to partake of refreshment when they arrived at the Dover National Sailor's Home. One lady who lost her husband and two childijjk was in a semi-delirious state. lady, who was only married a few days before, also lost her husband. The captain and officers of the Boaa Marie assert that their vessel was at anchoites'hen the Scholten collided with thm This statement was borne out by the evidence at the inquest.

A GREAT PROBLEM. —Take all the kidney and liver Medcinea, —Take all the Blood purifiers, -Take all the Rheumatic remedies, —Take all the Dyspepsia and indigestion cures, —Take all the Ague, Fever, and Bilious Specifics, —Take all the Brain and Nerve force revivers, —Take all the Great health restorers. —ln short, take all the best qualities of all these, and the —best —Qualities of all the best medicines in the world, and you will find that Dr. Soulf-Mnierican—Hop Bitters have been the baR-urative qualities and powers of all concentrated—ln them, and they can cttfd when any or all of these, singly or ifaombined —Fail. A thorough trial •will give positive proof of this, Hardened liver. Five years ago I broke down with kidney and liver complaint and rheumatism. Since then I have been unable to be about at all. My liver became hard like wood; my limbs were puffed up and filled with water. All tho best physicians agreed tha nothing could cure me. I resolved to try Dr. Soule's American Hop Bitters; I have used seven bottles; the hardnes as all gone from my liver, tho swelling from my limbs, and it has worked a miraclo in my case; otherwise I would have been in my grave. J. W. Morey, Buffalo, Oct. 1. 1885. ' Poverty and suffering. " I was dragged down with debt, pov- • erty and suffering for years, caused by a Bick family and larpe bills for doctoring. " I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I commenced using Dr. Soule's American Ho«eii, and in one month we were all wW[ and none of us have seen a sick day since, and 1 want to say to all poor men, You can keep your families well a year with Dr. Soule's Hop Bitters for less than ono Doctor's vist will cost. I know Jrjt."-A Working Man. r , ®* None genuine without a bunch of green hops on the white label and Dr. Soule's name blown in the bottle. Beware of all the vile poisonous stuff made to . nutate the above we Should blot out diseases in its early stages. The disease commences with a slight derangement of the stomach, but, if neglected, it in time involves the whole • frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and in fact the entire glandular Bystem ; and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from suffering. Tho disease is often mistaken for other complaints ;but if thejeader will ask himself tho follow; ingwestions he will be able to determine wheTOr he himself is one of the afflicted—Have I distress, pain or difficulty in breathing after eating I Is there a dull heavy feeling, attended by drowsiness 1 Have the oyes a yellow tingo ? Does a thiok, stioky, mucous gather about tho mouth and teeth in the mornings, accompanied[by a disagreeable taste ? Is the (qp|iw coated? 'is there pain in the

Bidos and back. Is thero a fullness about tho right sides as if tho liver were enlarging? Is tliero costivoness ? Is thero vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from nn horizontal position 1 Are tho secretions from the kidneys highly .colourod.'witha deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating, accompanied by flatulence or belching of gas from the stomach 1 Is there frequent palpitation of the heart, These various symptoms may not be present at one time, but they tornmnfc tho sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses, If tho case be one of long standing, ithero will be a dry, hacking cough, attended after a time by expect ration. In very advanced ago the skin assumes a dirty; brownish appearance, and the hands and feet are covored by a cold, istcky porspiration, As tho livor and kdnoys become more and more deceased rheumatic pains appear, and the usual beutment proves entirely unavailing against tho lattor agonising disorder The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia, and a small quantity of the proper medicino will remove' the disease if takon in it incipiency. It is most important that tho disease should bo promptly and property treated in its first stages, when a little mediciue will affect a cure, and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct romedy should be persevered in until every vestige of the diseaseiseradicated, until theappetite has returned, and the digestive organs restored to a healthy condition. Tne surest and most effectual romedy for this distressing complaint is "Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, London, E.C. This Syrup strikes ai the very foundation of the disease, and drives it root and branch out of tho system. Ask your Chemist for Seigel's Curative Syrup..

11 East Btreet Mills, Cambridge Heath, 'London, E.U., July 24,1882,

" Sir,—lt gives me great pleasure to be ablo to add my testimony in favor of your valuable Syrup as a curative agent. I had suffered for some length of time from a severe form of indigestion, and }he long strain of distressing symptoms following that disease. I had tried all he best medical advice. 1 had swallowed sufficient of their stuff to float a man of war, bo to speak, but of no avail. A friend of mine, coming on tho scene in the midst of my sufferings, brought with him a bottle of your Seigcl Syrup ; he advised me to try it, stating he felt confident that it would benefit me Being weary of trying so many drugs, I condemned it before trial, thinking it could not possibly do me any good, but ultimately determined to take the Syrup. After doing so for a short time it worked such a change in me that 1 continued taking at for nearly two months, and I thenfelt thoroughly cured, for I have discontinued its use for fivo weeks, and feel in the best of health, and can partake and nky of food with ease and comfort. lam therefore thankful to you that, through the instrumentality of your valuable medicine, I am restored to the state of health I now enjoy. Yours truly, " To Mr A. J, White," W. S. Forster Waterloo House, London Stile, Chiswick, February 17th, 1882. Messrs White and Co,, London.

Gentlemen,—lt is with great pleasure that I and my testimony to the wonderfu; offeets of Seigol's Syrup. For years I have been suffering from billious attacks which, began with giddiness; then a mist would come before my oyes, so thatl should not be able to recognise anyone or anything at tho distance of a yard or two from my face. This would be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, so that I could stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur, lasting often two or three days. I have tried various remedies lor these distressing symptoms, but until I had tried Seigel's Svrup 1 had no relief Since then I havo had excellent health in every respect, and if ever 1 feel a headacho coming on I take one dose of tho Syrup which arrests it. Hoping that this testimonial may bo the means of inducing others (who suffer as 1 used) to try the Sjrup, as I feel sure they will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be cured, I be." to remain, yours faithfully A H. Hokion.
