Writing on the illtli inst. the Preservation Inlet correaponde-.it of ttie Souihliyid Timps says :—

" 1-Vrlisips you may liave received intelligence by thu last but it was kepi very i|iii«t here, th;ic trold-be^ring ttnracss had beeu discovered by P. Westoii, who h-s been BrospßCCins; "' Chalky lu!et for sjmi mouths part, 'fhs disicovery issaiil tn lie situated cl»se to thn head nf tliß inlet, some 15 miltffi n]., to the lftfc. These t.-.rrjc.-s ura stated tv turm liiH sides uf a rner or creek, some distance from ths inlet, bearing tuwnrils Dusky Sound, and extend a lons ■iivtaiiC', so there will be ample ground to work for ft Kirgi' number of digger^, but nothing reliable c*u 1)0 stited until the return of n prospecting psrty v<ho started from here to verify this report. Everything is

very quiet at the reofs just now, as most of tiie mcii are leaving for their Christmas holidays." Our Roxburgh correspondent writes :—" The Amalgamated Company is still doing very well, and will pay smother dividend directly, if, indeed, it is not already payabk'. 'i hey liava also a good reserve. The Island Block liavs struck sold again. I lisar tlist la«t wtxk'.i w»sh-up was a lit'Je under 14Soz. Mr U,\vid V/eir w\ll take charge as workins manager in a day or two. Mr Weir is an able man, and will no doubt he of great service to the claim. The Golden Treasure ib doing well. PriDelo and party are netting handsome returns. They are working a bit of jsround above their own, and must have made about £70 psr luan last week. The Kiss and Shine's ground is likely to be worked again on new lines."
