What is regarded as a most important discovery has been made 'in New South Wales. The diamond, drill jvhich has been used for boring for coal on the Holt Sutherland estate, 15 miles from Sydney, and three-quarters of a mile from the Illawanra- railway- line, struck a coal seam at a depth'of 2227 ft. This, together with the results of the bores put. ddwn for several years past, proves the continuity of the fflMn coal seam from the" Wollon gong district to Newcastle- right under Sydney and' suburbs. The discovery is regarded as of t the highest value.

A gentlemen occupying a perfectly disinterested position, who has just arrived in Adelaide from Queensland, informs the Adelaide Register that he recently visited the Mount Morgan gold minp, situated about 20 miles from Rockhampton. He says that the whole mountain for upwards of a mile is composed of dark ironstone thickly studded wibh gold. The mount oelongg to sis persons, who have formed themwves iuto an incorporate, company with a Jpital of £1,000,000, and taken all the shares 'bemselves. The .quarrying, has been done J ai Sat ouwaid, and since the work was begun, j*oat eight months ago, although only four of stampers *have been used, the profits we averaged £15,000 por mouth. Judging r «m present prospects, the value of the mounJn is estimated at £40,000,000. AIL the stone '» the neighbourhood appears to be of the same w&racter as that from which gold is now being «ttacted, and there is a peculiar kind of pitch"sß material running through' it.
