Portuguese, Menschikoff, Greek's, Swiss and numerous other creeks and ter races, all of which have been par tially worked and found payable. Be sides the workings mentioned, the ex tensive gold field of Red Jack's Creek it also included within the boundaries of the district, as well as the mcc recently dis covered working's at Dead Man's Creek. It is a popular illusion that the watei from the Lake Brunner could be broughl to bear upon the highest workings of th« No Town district, but that idea is not yel borne out by the opinion formed from the actual experience of any competent professional man. The greater part of the auriferous ground lies at a consider able elevation, and is of the same charac ter as that described at Nelson Creek. Water is very scarce, and a demand for at least 100 sluice-heads would be found in No Town Creek itself, provided it was at a sufficient elevation.' What is required is the introduction of a large body of water at Paddy's Gully, from which point smaller races could be run to Red Jack's, Dead Man's, and No Town Creeks. Whether it is possible to obtain a suffi cient supply of water to pay for the cost of the necessary works for bringing it in can only be determined by actual survey. The greater portion of the auriferous ground lies very high, far above Lake Brunner or any neighboring lake or stream of any size, but there is a probability of obtaining sites for reservoirs between. Paddy's Gully at Bell Hill, at a sufficient altitude to command the whole district. The extent of auriferous ground, almost totally destitute of water, is so great that any works for bringing in water, which did uot cost more than LSOO for every head delivered, would pay remarkably well, and there is ample room for the profitable. employment of as many men as can possibly be supplied with water. The above is the opinion of MrDobson, the Provincial Engineer, and it can be con firmed by every resident of long standing in the district. Seeing that it must be by a system of reservoirs that this district will be supplied with water, there ia a better opening for the investment of pri vate capital than in either of the others.
