Lndwigson, a digger, overcome by heat, died on November 90, forty miles from Wyndham, and the body was found by O'Donnell, an explorer, with pack horses, rations and|money. A special to the Argus writes “ There are now about 1000 men on the ground, working with very varied success. A lew are doing well, some making tucker, and, I am afraid, many the reverse. However, we know of one man having obtained 9600 a in six weeks, and another 200oz or more. I am assured that 600oz left Cambridge Gulf in one month, while, perhaps, as many hundreds ol ounces have come through Derby.’’
