MIDDLE STAR.
A very short time has elapsed since this property was sold by auction and purchased by Bowler and Hunter, who have lost no time in'working a portion themselves, and in letting on tribute other portions, each party having got out and crushed small trial parcels. The largest parcel, 10|- tons, crushed for the proprietors, at the Tramway battery, has turned out satisfactory, the yield being 12 ounces 4 dwts melted gold.
