The name of a ftlr Hunt has recently been prominently before the public in Australia, in connection with, recent diamond discoveries. Mr Hunt is the inventor of newpatent machines for saving gold and precious stones. The invention cost him somp thirty years to perfect, and il had recently a very successful trial in Victoria. ivl.r..Hunt placed two rubies, two sapphires, and a topaz in the refuse in the feeder, and these were regained after passing through the machines. A few particles of gold were thrown in and recovered Mr Hunt gained much- experience on the Continent, where he was for years manager of some silver and lead mines. Whilst thus eugaged, a friend sent .him.some stuff from Tasmania, from which he- procured, by means of his patent, some fifteen gems, the greater proportion being sapphires, and it was this which induced him to visit Australia. He is now receiving orders from all parts of the colony for the machines. If there are gems in Ta^Boania and Australia, the probability s"^s^aj;.-. they will be equally found in Ne\v^Zeafeii"d§«|^i the ma-chine-in question is sureW^oxth the consideration of the people oT this colony.
