Notes from Cromwell.
CROMWELL, September 27. The weather has been cold, "-with a lot of lain and snow on the high 'country. The liver is up slightly, but is now falling. The ■weather is settled, with every prospect of ft low river continuing for some time. The wash, of the Alpine Consols dredge is improving daily, and the return ■will be /Jnuch better thau" last week's. The Eiley's Beach dredge is on poor ground. It is rumoured the directors have : secured a claim on the Clutha Eiver which gives them work for years. The Junction Nos. 1 and 2 dredges are loth doing well. The Electric K"o. 1 dredge is still on exceptionally rich ground, but the rise in the jriver has put a lot of tailings down on the -dredge, which will affect the return this week. The Rise and, Shine No. 1 dredge is on rich "ground, and should have good returns lor some time now.
