Cardrona.—lt is reported on seemingly good authority that a parcel of gold between 2Glb and 271b in weight has been obtained from a partial cleaning up of Messrs Robert son Brothers' claim. We have good authority for stating that as much as an ounce of gold to the dish has been got in the. face. A fresh discovery near the township has, we are informed, been made within the last two or three days, which still further increases the importance of this field.—On a higher level too, in the direction of Cri6 7 el, a party are opening up a new claim, they having about com pleted the construction of a darn to work same.
Invincible Mine, Head of Lake. —The tributers have struck the reef at a depth of 52fc from the machine level. Good gold is shown, and the reef is 12ft wide. This verifies the anticipations of the prospectors, who expected to cut the reef at from 50ft to 60ft. If they open out at that depth they will have backs to work upon for more than a year. This news is most encouraging, and, in view of such, we expect to see the mine shortly ranked amongst tbe best gold producers in the district. It is remarkable, in many cases where companies have almost given up mines, that working miners have stepped in and demonstrated their permanence and payability. Tn this case we; know that several men of the right stamp make up the party, and they well deserve the evident success that is theirs.
