The Palmer Goldfield.
Five thousand Chinese are now on the right and left branches of the Palmer, and some of them are getting plenty of gold. The latest news from the Palmer is very good. All the white men are doing fairly, and the Chinese are making a good thing of the abandoned ground. In some cases the Chinese are making from half an ounce to one ounce per day in ground left by the whites as not payable. The Chinese now occupy the whole of the left branch and pushing fast out to Oakey and Sandy ; many of them have come in with heavy gold, and intend leaving for China by the next mail steamer. Provisions have risen in price on the field, but not to high; packing and teaming is vigorously carried on'; horses are still low in price, but the market is steadily rising.
