AORERE.
Slate River, Nov. Gth, 1857. The summer appears to have set in at last : and the consequence is that all the diggers having claims aie busy woiking them, and very few were to be seen about this last week, except new comers. Most of the diggers are doing well on their claims, and new creeks containing gold are daily being found ; but the richness of Slate River has rather raised our expectations, and has caused disappointment to many who have found sufficient only for good wages, but who from repoits had expected to make a " pile " quickly. On the whole, our Diggings appear now to be thoroughly established, and although wo hear and read long accounts of gold being found in other distiicts, we do not find a single fact that goes to prove a degree of wealth in gold existing in any other place equal to the Aorere. The Superintendent was here this week, and took the very wise plan of judging for himself by walking to the Quaitz Ranges, and it is understood that he saw the necessity of immediately opening a main
road up the valleyto the Quartz Ranges, as well as mending and opening temporary roads to carry on with while the main road is in progress.
