Bruce Bat. — By storekeepers and diggers the township, is all but literally deserted. Only three or four stores remain. Of the diggers, it was said that a few who had remained had proceeeed to the Paringa river, and some of them had returned after a brief absence with sufficient gold in their possesion to enable them to procure accessions to their supply of stores, departing again with the same to resume operations. A storekeeper who returned, brought with him fifty ounces recently purchased from diggers who had come in from the neighborhood.
