SOUTER'S BATTERY.
Adelaide (Lucky Hit district) : This claim have had a small but very rich lot of specimens crushed here. The weight of the stone was about twenty pounds, and it gave a first-rate yield of 14oz. 25dwt. of very goodlooking gold. Prince Imperial: Ten tons of stuff for this company has gone through here during the past few days, and on cleaning up we find that it has yielded 7oz. 14dwt. retorted gold. We understand this company have got on some very good stone in their shaft, but are compelled, owing to the quantity of water it makes, to give up the working of that part for a time. Looking at the position in which this claim is situated, we should think they stand a very good show, and if any company on the field deserve success it is this. May Moon : Five tons are just being got in for this company, and will start, if all well, in the morning to crush.
