The Inchdale dredge has stopped working for the purpose of fixing a new top tumbler, rebushing the buckets, and generally receiving a thorough overhaul. A new hear raee is also being cut through their own ground, which will obviate any chance of damage during floods, and when the dredge

starts work again everything will be jn such a condition as to ensure a long run without any further stoppages. A certain baroness, Lillian Von Tike, of noble German birth, and a Klondykc prospector of considerable success, tois, it in said, lately in Chicago buying mining machinery and a portable house for use in the Alaskan goldfields. The baroness has been in the Klondyke for four years. She was left a fortune by her father, made money speculating in wheat in Los Angeles, then lost heavily, and finally struck for the Klondyke. She went largely for adventure, and she loves the v life there so well that she will go back and continue in the fight for gold. The baroness is -bnying hydraulic mining machinery and a ton-room portable house, which will be shipped in sections to Cape Nome. She is thirty years old, accomplished, and unmarried. She takes her title from her father, Baron Karl Von Tilse, of Leipsic. As this is all taken from an American source it is open to correction.

STOCK EXCHANGE NOTES. The message from Alexandra this mornins; read: "River 6ft; weather fine." For a Monday, the market was exceptirnally brisk this morning, and a fair amount of business was transacted, principally in West Coast stocks. The return from the Nelson Creek claim justifies the best expectations and constitutes a record for the Coast. It is a splendid return from an "all-the-year-round" claim, and "makes the marble good " of those who were buying iu at advanced prices last week. The return had not been officially announced at the time the Dunedin Exchange were sifting this morning, and, though, most of tie men about the corner knew pretty well what the figures were, there was just room for a little uncertainly. Wo da not suggest, however, that this was the cause of sales at 71/ and 70/ after West Coast buyers had beeen offering 75/ on Saturday. These occurrences have almost ceased to be peculiar. Tt seems to bo the ride that prices are higher hi anticipation of a return than when the return is actually announced, no matter how good that return may be. The Nelson Creek's luck is also gratifying to those who have been buying Aldingas and Victory*, and the purchasers of Trafalgar stock have even - reason to be pleased with the Pactolus return. Several parcels of Aldingas changed hands this morning a#2s/; Nelson Creeks were the medium of business at tho prices above related ; Pactolus sold at 71/6; a-nd two lots of Victory's went at 28/. There was a limited amount of business in Molyneux stocks. Dunslan Leads sold at 10/; Golden F>eds showed a firming tendency, and this company should soon be in the dividend-paying list, for tho silt trouble is overcome by putting on baby elevators; Golden Rivers could have been sold at 7/3; transactions were recorded in Junction Electrics, Manuherikias, and Meg and Annies ; two parcels of Rise and Shines were, quitted at 23/6; and Royal Maoris and Upper Magnetics also changed hands. Tho liver is not dead yet.
