The Prince of "Wales Claim, on Murphy's Bill, completed a crushing of seven tons from their new leader at Gibbons's nachiue, on the Karak*, » few days a?o, the'result behjg 85rz. 9dwt., or a little over I2t.z. to ihe ten. 460z. of amalgam were obtained from the Chilean mill. This is the best cru'hmg 1 ' yet made from the eaid hil), and spe«ks volumes for the goodness of a locality that was considered almost valueless a short time since. Gibbona's machine in now engaged crushing for the <Uead Centre Claim on the K.ar»ka Hill, and also for the "well-known Lord ISelson Claim, the lucky shareholders of which have already 100 tons to be put through. "Frcm present indications theie is etery reason to anticipate a satisfactory return from both claims. Five tons of stone from the Dayspring Claim, adjoining the PriDce of Wales, on the Karak» Hill, realised at the rate of two ounce* to the ton. 'Fhis cruehiug was al«o made at Gibhons's machine, the result being in every way satisfactory to'the shareholders. cj A trial crubhing ofUv^nundiedw'eight of stone from the Lord Clyde Claim, Kar»ka, teated recently at Bull's one-stamper, showed a payable yield of thrae and a-half ounces to the ton.
