PORT PEGASUS TIN FIELD.
(By Telegraph.) INVERCARGILL, May 28. Mr A. B. Conliffe, a mining expert from Tasmania, reporting on the Pega-us tin field, says there is every indication that a powerful lode exists. He has sent over one hundred weight of stream tin, obtained in two hours from Tucker’s claim, and experienced miners say it is a very rich sample. Mr Conliffe says in all his experience he neyer saw more promising wash. He undertakes to form a company to work Tucker’s claim, and he expresses the opinion that it will be a mine when present owners are no more.
