FROM THE Otago Daily Times. "Inveniam viam aut faciam." SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1822. ARRIVAL OF THE ESCORT.
The escort, which arrived in town on Thursday, brought down 3786 oz 10 dwt of gold, divided as follows; — Tuapeka 2944 oz 10 dwts Waitahuna ... 842 3786 ozs 10 dwts COMMERCIAL. Daily Times office, Thursday evening. The advices that we can furnish our English readers with by this opportunity are certainly of a more cheering character than we sent last month. The weather for nearly every day of the last four weeks has been beautifully fine, and in nowise such as to interfere with business operations. The escorts have certainly not increased, but, considering our reduced mining population, that they should maintain such an average is a .proof pf their permanent character. New discoveries are reported, and we may consider the evidence furnished officially of the deposits in the neighbourhood of Waikouaiti sufficient to lead to the expectation that remunerative employment will there be found for any unemployed labour, if there is really any such, except those willingly at leisure among our laboring population.
