Dredging Notes.
The Buller Junction dredge on the Huller river was officially started and taken over from the contractors on Saturday. Mr Free, chairman of directors, and a number of shareholders were present. The machinery and elevator worked splendidly. Tho dredge was christened Victoria in orthodox manner. The dredge is one of Cutten's, and is very strong and powerful. It coat about £8000.
The Ktimara correspondent of the West Coast Times writes that "the director of the Greenstone Company are hay ing a little difficulty over choosing a site for building tbe pontoons. The diffirulty arises from the fact that a claim of four acres hold by private individuals adjoins their claim nnd commands an approach to the desired sito. I understaud the owner a^reos to b?11 the claim for £10 and that he will receive all tho gold •jvir 12ozs gained by the dredge per week. The puzzlo is if it requires 12ozs a week to pay expenses, what dividend will be paid while working this ground."
