MINING ENTERPRISE IN AUSTRALIA.

The despatches just received by the Australian
Agricultural Company, by the Alverton, contain the follow-
ing information : A sale of land, consisting of 20 acres, at
Neweestle had realised nearly 4,0001. With reference to the
company's sales of coal, it is stated that the quantity raised
in January, 1843, via., 3,064 tons, had been sold fur 2,0411 ;
in February, 3,791 toss realised 2,3641. ; in March, 4.183
tons realised 2,6691. ; and in April, 4,397 tons were sold for
2,8901. The colliery arrangements are described as satisfac•
tory. The new shaft had been driven down 80 feet without
any obstructions. Some loft of sheep is reported, but not
of consequence, owlet( to the inclemency of weather.
The Peel River Land and Mineral Company have received
advises by the Alverton from their general superintendent,
Captain Brownrigg, to the 12th of May ; and Mr. Rudder,
the company's surveyor, reports :
"Since my lust communication I encamped for three
days elate to the junction of Wambrornon Creek with the
Peel, and examined the adjoining ranges. As the result of
my examination, I have the pleasure to inform you I found
gold high above the river in a iricky gully about three-
quarters of a mile from the upper 'salon, is a ,direction
north-west. Iby uo means wish to raise any expectations
by the character of my reports which may not hereafter be
realised. I with it, therefore, is all cases to be understood,
that in prospecting I cannot, from any examination then
made, determine the value of the spat as a workable field.
Many places which yield but a law grains in the prospecting
pan may (and frequently do) on more extended research
pay well, and eke versa. I have been thus explicit to pre-
lent disappointment should my present expectations prove
too sanguine."
And in another dispatch :
. . . .

" Since mine of th; 3rd inst. I have had the satisfaction
to inform ydu I have found the source from which the first
specimen of auriferous quarts was obtained from the Au-
stralian Agricultural Company's Estate by Messrs. Lourey
and itenwick It la allotted to in my report on the quarts
veins as having the appe.rance of a detached water-worn
piece of quart.. One of the shepherds showed me the spot
where he picked up a rich specimen be gave Mr. King.
' I prospected it and found the cross of the vein. I have
tested the stone by amalgamation, and also the soil by
which it is surrounded, and have no doubt of its richness.
The surface soil in the vicinity I have reason to bi lies, is
rich. I picked up two pi eta out of three found on the
surface they weighed ten grains. I also tested the soil
and found gold. This is as entirety new discovery. I have
also satisfied myself that another auriferous vein equally
exists; it is traceabl• tin the government side, from whence
it has yirldid some handsome specimens. I have tested the
soil in the direction of the vein on the company's land, end
obtained gold from every pan. I have seen two or three
pieces picked up on the surlace in the same locality from I
to 3 dwts. each. In short, my investigations have been to
me highly encouraging (looking at the position of the com-
pany in England), as showing a richer and more extensive
auriferous deposit than I before believed, to exist on the
estate. I hope 'hat more extensive operations than can be
accomplished when prospecting may ultimately sustain the
character of the company's field.
