CROMWELL.

The Cromwell correspondent of the Dunstan Times, writing under date the Ist inat., reports as follows Freni one end of the district to the other accounts from the mines are most satisfactory, there being a plentiful supply 0 { water, and consequently a proportionate quantity of gold is offering; hue of all the yields none can compare with that from the quartz reef at Bendigo Gully. Messrs Goodger, Garrett, and Logan are now deservedly reaping a rich harvest for their perseverance. They have had lately several breakages to their battery, causing great delay and inconvenience, but withal they are producing a large amount of gold. During the past week between 400 and 500 ounces of the precious metal have been sold by this party, and appearances indicate a continuance of the like good fortune. Messrs Bartlett and party, who have a claim ou the same line of reef, are raising some goodlooking stone. I hear that Mr W. J. Barry, of Cromwell, who is interested with thi-' party, has purchased the plant of the old Criterion Quartz Mining Company, Arrow, and intends erecting it close to the reef; great things are looked for from these claims, and there is not a doubt that, if the present favorable prospects continue, the Cmmvell mining district will be the centre of attraction for Otagonian capitalists and miners.”
