New South Wales.

We take the following from the Sydney Morn-
ing Herald of Sept. 21 :

A miner, named William Williams, has discovered in the
neighbourhood of Dunolly a quartz reef of extraordinary
richness. It is believed that the auriferous material will
yield some hundreds of ounces to the ton.

Things remain exceedingly dull at all our goldfields,
with the exception of the Wentworth. There the yield con-
tinues to be exceedingly rich,though no regularly continuous
lead of gold has yet been hit upon, the metal being found in
leaders or feeders that are supposed to be tributaries to the
main stream. These leaders are found at all manner of levels,
appearing suddenly, and as suddenly breaking off; thus
giving no clue to the whereabouts of the great deposit.
Upon most of the diggings, but more particularly upon
those situate among the ridges of the high table land, the
weather has been very severe. The heavy rains have been
followed by extensive snow storms, accompanied by severe
frosts and bitterly piercing winds, rendering the prosecu-
tion of work exceedingly difficult. In the western district
the cold is s.id to have been more intense than it has been
known to be for many years past.
From the Wentworth we learn that the Golden-gate
claim owner has been very lucky. Thirty-five tons of dirt
were crushed, and yielded 1,5000 z of gold. Spicer's claim
has yielded 200 oz this month, from about 20 tons of dirt.
The other claims are all actively engaged in work of vari-
ous kinds, but there has been no general washing-up by
which to test the yield, though some of the dirt already
paddocked by many of them is known to be exceedingly
rich.

The Mount Pleasant Diggings, within a few miles of
Bathurst, have not turned out so attractive as had been an-
tioipated. There are now only some 40 or 50 persons on the
ground.

A quartz claim has been taken up on the Camp Reserve,
Forbes, only 70 or 80 yards from the Court.house, and rich
auriferous quartz has been obtained from the Britannia Reef.
A report has also reackel us by telegram that a party of
miners had struck gold in shallow ground upon a hill behind
the Murga Ink. It is not yet known whether the rich ground
is a mere pateh or whether the auriferous deposit is widely
extended.

The new ground opened at Warrambucca, in the Braid-
wood district, is turning out very rich stuff, while from
Araluen and Jembaicumbe the news is most encouraging.
Already the Braidwood escort is mounting up in quantity,
and, as a sign of the improved time, a number of men who
were sufferers by the late floods at Araluen, and who were
furnished with work in a claim at 30s per week and rations,
have struck for higher wages.

At Young very little doing in the shape of mining, and
complaints are general that even "tucker" is now no longer
to be obtained upon the far-famed Burrangong,
