DEPOSITS OF MERCURY IN THE NORTH.
[BY telegraph.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Friday. While at Russell, Bay of Islands, Sir Junes Hector picked up some lumps of clay thrown out of a hole dug for a fencing post, which were thickly studded with globules of mercury. The existence of the metal at Russell has been known for some years, it having been found all over the flat amongst clay deposited by the creek, but the source of tho deposit has not been discovered, and it has not been thought worth while to attempt the extraction of the globules from the clay.
