The Long Drive Claim.— Gne of the richest patches, if not the richest of the many that have been taken out of the Long Drive claim, was cut into this morning in the low level workings, about eight feet above the old long driye. Several bucketfuls of specimens were taken out. We say specimens, whereas the few that we examined belonged to the category of nuggets rather than specimens, so thickly did the gold lay in them. Unlike other parcels of specimens . taken out of this claim, the stone of this one is of blue color, and .'very solid. — Evening Star, July 29.
