The banks take draughts aroinst gold at I per
cent. discount. At this rate the banks exchange,
and they sell at 1 per cent. premium. The same
rates prevail at Geelong, and the price of gold in
both places, for shipment by the Champion of'the
Seas and the Sussex, has been 755. 6d. per ounce.
The freight is 4:12d. per ounce, delivered at the

The diggers are now turning their attention to
the use of machinery. Hand quartz-crushing ma-
chines are being made by the engineers of Mel-
bourne, and thy have as much work :Is they can
do. Machines are being also tried, worked by oxen.
i am sorry to say, however, that the quartz-crush-
ing machine, worked by steam, which was pur-
chased of the Quartz-crushing Company, and was
being worked by private enterprise, has just burst
its boiler. Enough has been done, however, to
show that quartz-crushing may be conducted with
profit—not, perhaps, by London mining compa-
nies, but by local associations, where the partners
themselves superintend. The diggers, too, begin
to perceive the advantage of working for steady
wages instead of embarking in a lottery, which of
late has (fortunately, I think) offered no enormous
prizes, no "monster nuggets," and no "jewel-
lers' hops." Altogether, gold-digging is assum-
ing the character of a regular and steady branch of
industry, and the " diggings" that of permanent
settlement and organised communities. The gene- Virago ~
