received via Valparatee. Thin accounts from Sydney
are.to the 221 February, and they describe' © 'steady
yield of gold, although, owing to the Turen mud Ophir
deposits being stilt flooded, It failed to thew the increase
that might °have been anticipated. The amounts
brought by the escort and mail was 10,099 'ounces for
