Otago Central Notes.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
The Croesus battery has been put in good working order, and will start crushing on about 50 tons from the Surprise as soon as a little more water is got to run in the race, as its present capacity is not sufficient for the speed required from the Pelton wheel. The Jacob. — This claim, which at one time gave a good account of itself, is, at the hands of M'Kay and M'Kenzie, going to get another test. Bonanza. — There have been two good crushings from this mine : 150 tons gave ISOoz, and a crushing since has gone at the rate of an ounce to the ton. Mount Highlay.— l am informed that the recent crushing has not come up to expectations in its yield, which I believe was barely Sdwt to the ton. I believe the Victoria sluicing claim, Hyde, which has been idle for a long time, ha 3 been purchased by a party who intend giving it another trial. It is a good claim, but a large slip requires to be removed before the ground can be properly got at.
