THE EIGHT-MILE.
I believe that this place will yet turn out well Several parties have obtained payable gold lately, aud prospecting is going on vigorously. Burns and party sinking on a terrace above the flat, and have got down aboufc 30 feet, on large boulders, and ifc is their intention of blasting them, they being too large for their shaft; they are very sanguine of success, having every indication of gold all the way down. The Woodstock township, two and a half miles lower down the river, is looking very healthy, and about 200 are at work there, it having received a great many from the Eight-mile rush, who have now •et in farther back on the terraces.
