The Bathurst Advocate informs us that a vale ,ble
copper mine had been discovered at Rockley, New
South \Vales, on the estate of NI-. Steele, on the .
Campbell's River. The specimens of the ore which .
had been exposed afforded most promising indica- .7_
tions. Some of the ore had been sent to Sydney for N
analysis, and should the result be favourable, miuing ,
operations will be immediately commenced. se
On the property of Major Lockyer, in Argyle, se- le
COraioK to the Sydney Herald, there have been die- .
covered immense quantities of iron ore, jield,ng it is ;I
said from 80 to 90 per cent. pure metal, which, as has N
been the else in other instances, is declared to be I,
equal to steel. Some of the ore has been smelted at a es
common forge, and the metal produced was brought it
I:,
to Sydney to have its character tested. Major
lo•ckyer, in order to avail himself of this valuable et.
discovery, was endeavouring to raise a joint-stock go 4
company for the purpose. so
The competition at the government land sales, at 15:
Moreton Bay, was very spirited, from which may be is
judged the ineressing prosperity of that district of Itt
New South Wales. Some of the allotments of North st
Brisbane brought nearly 100 per cent, above the up- 1.,
set price of 1001. per acre. The principal purchasers 11.
were the working claims, giving certain indication of H
their thriving and prosperous condition. It was re- :
ported, to the no email satieftction of the inhabitants
of the town and district, that a banking establishment N
was about to be opened at Brisbane. If such really se
was the case, there was not the slightest doubt that
the residents, both of town and country, would take eel'
shares is any respectable joint-stock company esta- 13
bushed for that purpose. tse.
