THE GREENSTONE RUSH.
The Greenstone Rush, is still favourably spoken of. A correspondent of the Grey < River Argus, writes under date the 15th ' Aug. " that things at the Greenstone stili wear a healthy look ; bustle, thr<ng, and activity appear to be the order of the day at the old township, giving it quite a new life in every respect. Business is good — everyone doing a fair trade. The scene of operations at the new rush is lively and most promising— on the whole, miners generally hold a good opinion of it, and predict with a feeling of confidence an extension of the golden ground. The many claims at present on gold are considered to pay fair wageß, with the excellent aud encouraging prospect of having large claims to work out. The gold already obtained from some of the claims is a splendid sample and quality, a notable fact which is looked upon by the miners in a most favourable light, as having one of the characteristics of a genuine rush. There are several tunnels going in on each side of the claims on gold, with every hope on the part of the plucky prospectors that there will be a continuation of the lead."
