THE PRIDE OF THE KARAKA.

The Pniie of the Karaka lus turned out another batch of fine stone, and scup Bhows aa upward tenJencyin consequence. _ Another trial parcel of atone from Chamberlin's Island was tested at the Prince Alfred battery yesterday. About 601b. of ste-ne were put through the Jjerdan, and yielded ldwt. of good quality gold. Tha stone is blue and white, very hard, and contains a large proportion of pynt j s. The crushing of a quantity of inferior stuff from the Poverty and Chailehton Goldminiug Company, at the Tramway battery, has Le^n completed, and the retorting yesterday afternoon rtsulted in a yield of one ounce to the ton. The Tramway battery baa resumed the crushing of stone from Tookey's Claim. I have jiut seen some (iisi-class specimens from tha Flying Cioud. Moanataian Creek. They are taking out good stone every day. The rt-ef is a pretty large on», and runs through the ground. This will, I believe, turn out one of the best-paying o'aiins on the field. They have a large Btaclc of quanz rea ly for crushing, but want to nee the tramway a little more workable befoie sending their quartz down. The Thames Steam Navigation Company bids fair to become a success. The time allowed the promote™ is very shoifc, but they have woiked hard, and twothirds of t-ie glares are applied for.
