THE PEGASUS TIN FIELDS.
INVERCARGILL, July 22. . Conliffe and others, prospectors, arrived from Pegasus to-day, with several cwt of alluvial tin and some pieces of stone that us taken as indications that tbe lode is not far to seek. Good progress is being made in the tunnels. Conliffe being now assured that tin exists iv paying quantities has discharged the men, and will do no more prospecting. It is said that owing to the ignorance of some of those employed by Syndicates to prospect for them, quantities of worthless stuff are likely to be presented to their employers jas tin, which on assay will be likely to injure the field in the estimation of the Government and the public.
