FROM THE Otago Daily Times. “ Inveniam viam aut facia m.” FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1862.

The escort last night brought down from Waitahuna 1,5870z5. 14dwts., from Tuapeka 8,7220z5. Sdwts., making a total of 10,3100 z. An express waggon was sent up in the early part of the week to Waipori with constables and tents to form a Police Station there. It returned last night in charge of mounted trooper Garvey, bringing down 1080 ounces of gold, the property of the Bank of New Zealand. 1 We are glad to notice that' the, storekeepers on the diggings are beginning to show more confidence in the, gold-fields. Several fine stores and substantial buildings are being put up. Among the largest is one belonging to Mr J. Hillosis, on Wetherstone|s, who has lately been making several additions. The building is 50ft by 60ft in dimensions, and built entirely of iron. This looks like confidence in the permanent nature of the place. PORT CHALMERS TOWN BOARD • ELECTION.
