Notes from Tuapeka.
Tn&peka. (FSOIC OCR WXTHMSTONKS COMtXSPOHDSKT.)
August 18. — The Local Industry washed down the usual number of boxas on Saturday last, when they got another lloz. The bottom of their present paddock, according to the pannings, appears to be a heavy slaty rock, r early as heavy as the gold, which makes it difficult to pan off. The Golden Crescent commenced their present paddock on the afternoon of the 12th inst. The ground beine^jhallow the manager won't wash down till l^TOnishes tho paddock, which he oxpecls to do this week. The G.C. Company have applied for an extension of their race around to Ballarat Hill. When they get that cut, and extend the pipes up to the race, they will have a sufficient pressure for all time, The part they are applying for is an extension of Riddell's upper race, which was cut in tho sixties of last century, but only a short distance to the south of the Wetherstone-Gabriel road, where it dropped into the* lower race.
