The hoppers are full with st.-mo from the Company's ground, and about a hundred tonsof stuff from tho Colonial claim is being brought down for treatment. Other parcels of cue from different claims are also ready for the mash, and within tin) next six weeks or two months at the outside, it should be known ■vhetlier or not this nroees.s is to solve tho very important problem of getting the? precious and other valuable metals from all grades of our refractory ores at a cheaper and therefore more profitable rate than has ever been accomplished in the peninsula.

Dr Conner, finds this one of the healthiest and poorest for his piaetice. Cltic'KiCT.—A match between the Chinemuri Cricket Club, and our local team will tike place here on.'fuesday (t.-i-duy.)
