THE ARROW.

The wintry weather 1ms culminated in a considerable fall of snow, which lies on the flats adjacent to the township some inches in depth, and is reported to bo very deep on the mountain tracks leading to the Twelvemile, Bracken's, and the Caidiona. Should the fall continue for a few hours longer there is no doubt that communication with the outlying parts of the districts will be temporarily stopped. With regard to mining matters, accounts continue on the whole satisfactory, especially as regards the sluicing interests — water being now plentiful, and disputes about the guago lapsed into the oblivion of plenty. The Arrow river claims are still mostly in abeyance of work ; several parties are procuring mea and extensive machinery, and others are employed repairing the damages accruing from the late flushes. Shepherd and party are again busy on the flat near the entrance of the Gorge ; thy have erected an undershot wheel under the east bank of the river, which works the pumps by means of a driving-belt extending across the stream. — Correspondent of the Wakatip Mail.
