Notes from Alexandra. (From Our Own Correspondent.) ALEXANDRA, September 13.
Good progress is being made with the erection of the machinery on the Alexandra Lead dredge. September 14. The returns are above the average. It will be about a month yet before the Enterprise No. 2 finishes Her overhaul. September 16. The Molyneux rose one Saturday afternoon and evening, and fell again yesterday, but is again on the rise. Iti» raining heavily locally. The river is about <Sft 6in above 'normal mark. The Bendigo dredge started work in earnest after midnight on Sunday night. The First Chanc* dredge is shifting farther down the- river. September 16. The Junction Electric dredges were both troubled with the drift last week. The Alpine Consols return was hardly as good as was expected, but broken time interfered a lot with it. The Pioyal Maori is to have a tiial run this week. The Galvanic is supposed to start work today; at least, a crew has gone up. If this dredge gets a bit higher up her claim I think returns will follow.
