OKARITA AND BRUCE BAY.
On Saturday last the steamer Bruce brought 2,000 ounces of gold from Okarita to Hokitika for the Bank of New South Wales. Speaking of the effects of the late disgraceful disturbances at Bruce Bay, the Okarita Times saya: — "The late riots at Bruce Bay have had their effects on the mercantile community, and the ruffianly •conduct aud scandalous waste of property indulged in by the rowdies will deter many
from following up any rush with stores, aud thus the orderly and well-behaved miners suffer from the deeds of a rascally minority, for what avails a good gold-field if "tucker" is at famine prices, and often it may not be had at any price." — G. R. Argus, April 18.
