Notes from Wetherstones.
(Fbom Oub Own Correspondent.)
WETHERSTONES, May 4. The manager of the Local Industry Ccmpa,ny, after ground sluicing for another 115 hours, washed down after the dinner hour of last Saturday and got 17oz 6dwt. He has only four or five boxes set, so he washed them all down to clear them on account of the ripples getting clogged with clay. The manager of the Golden Crescent Company hadthe first wash-down out of tho present paddock last Saturday afternoon. He got 20oz Bdwt. Two-thirds of the present paddock is oa the. hard reef, the other third, towards the jet hole, is on the cement, which is all rough and broken, having been Undermined sometime ago. The feather edge cf the cement— that is, where the cement joins the leef on the same level— invariably carries good, payable patches of coarse gold. After the manager gets the paddock cleaned up, whioh will take him sometime yet, it is his intention to try the cement as low as lie can possibly run it before he takes down the plant and boxes from the position they are in at present.
