THE GOLD FIELDS OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

The first news of the discovery of gold in our
Australian colonies came to us from Sydney, and
in the commencement of the emigration movement
the stream of adventurers from this country was
directed to the coasts of New South Wales. The
goldfields of that province, which for a few months
excited so much interest, awakened so many hopes,
and attracted so many eager and empty hands,
have within the last year dwindled into the shade,
eclipsed, as they were, by the richer treasures and
the all but fabulous returns which were obtained by
the gold-seekers in the colony of Victoria. As the
fame of Mount Alexander and Ballarat spread,
these favoured localities attracted not only the
crowds of fresh emigrants which just then poured
in from England and America, but the very miners
on the Sydney fields left the holes they had sunk
and the claims they had paid for, and, shouldering
their pickaxes and cradles, marched away to Vic-
toria, the Eldorado of the antipodes. As the
ranks of the miners became thinner, and the popu-
lation at the diggings which ministered to their
wants dwindled.away, the yields of the New South
Wales mines, though very satisfactory to the
diggers, made but a poor figure .in-i the escort re-
turns by the side of the thousands of ounces of
gold that were collected by the vast mining popu-
lation of Victoria. When Mount Alexander sent
its weekly 80,000 ounces, the Turon sent per-
haps a few hundred, but the former enormous
quantity represented the gains of 80,000, and
even 100,000 miners, while the miners on the
New South Wales fields, few and far between as
they were came in for larger proportions of the
smaller yield. Certain it is that New South
Wales, with a large mining population, would
soon show a different aspect. Up to the present
the old diggings only have been worked, and
few di-coveries made, not because there are not
auriferious regions of great richness besides those
already discovered, but simply
because the miners,
doing well where they are, have no desire to extend
the area of their operations and lose their time by
" prospecting." How vast a field for
labour and
enterprise that colony still presents will best be
seen from a condensed review of the Sydney gold
fields, and the regions where gold has been found,
though as yet they have not been worked for
gold.
South Wales
The oldest among the New gold
fields is that of Ophir. That
part which up to the
present day has been worked • but small
is a fraction
of what may be termed the Canoblas gold fields.
The Canoblas Mountain, which rises to the height
of a mile above the level of the sea, is the centre,
whence a large number of streams, including including the
Summerhill-creek, take their rise. All All of these
streams or creeks are more or less auriferous.
Gold has been found all along Summerhill-creek,
from its source at the Canoblas to its junction with
the Macquarie, but most abundantly
vat Ophir and
e
Frederick's Valley, where the Wentworth -
entworthdiggings
are situated. The gold is miggett and has been
found in lumps of 31b. and
weight.4lb. b.Z

YThe Went-
worth
diggings yield quantities of very fine
gold. The mining population at Ophir, and in the
creeks of the Canoblas does notexceed 300, and
their earn from 10s. to -
60s.
a day. The whole of
the country around the Canoblas may be consi-
dered as a gold field comparatively unexplored, and
waiting for population, capital, and machinery.
The Turon district is the richest and largest of the
gold fields of the colony. Sofala, the town which
in less than 18 months has risen out of the bush, is
situate on the richest part of the Turon, about 25
miles north from Bathurst. Fifteen miles above
Sofala remunerative diggings were opened at " the
Gulf," and thence to the junction of the river
with the Macquarie, a distance of above 40 miles,
digging operations have been carried on with more
or less success. The geological formation of the
country presents schist intersected with quartz
veins. The gold is chiefly " dust," with a tolerable
number of nuggets and a few stray lumps, some of
them of 71b. weight. The yield of gold on the
Turon has been, in many instances, most extraor-
dinary. In several cases from 80 to 100 ounces
per day, and for several days together, have been
obtained by parties of three and four; while others
took from 20 to 50 ounces. The average daily gain
of such parties would appear to range between 5
and 15 ounce;. The gold has been obtained in equal
quantities in the bed of the river and on the banks
and slopes in the vicinity. The dry diggings on
the banks of the Turon are considered by many
to be comparatively exhausted. Others hold
a different opinion. As long as there was a
large population on the Turon, the spirit of enter-
prise constantly developed new ground, and fresh
discoveries only teasel when few were left to con-
tend for the honour and profit of making them.
Rich dry diggings have recently bee, discovered
on the slope of a hill near Sofala, at a place which
had before been burrowed up by miners who would
not take the trouble of sinking their holes deep
enough. There is a vast field for mining enterprise
at the Tura'', both on the river itself and on the
table-land in its vicinity, whence its tributaries
take their rise. Some of these, Big Oakey and
Little Oakey creek especially, have yielded a large
amount of gold. Along the Bathurst-mad gold
has been found, and at W-Yagden-hill, midway
between the village of Wyagden and the Turon,
" successful operations " have been commenced.
There are tracts of many miles extent along the
Turon, which, although known as auriferous, are

as yet untouched. - •
The Braidwood diggings next claim attention.
They have hitherto been confined to the Major's
and Bell's creeks, which flow over the table-land
above the valley of Araluen, at the distance of
about 10 miles from Braidwood, on the eastward
of
range of mountains. The gold is
here decomposed granite, at least so
the dividing
found
in
the
the local geologists say. The diggers amount to
500, who earn quite as much as the diggers on the
Turon. The gold is fine and very pure, but the re-
sources of this part of the country have been only

de-
posits of gold have been found in its banks and bars.

The gold is coarse, with here and there large nug-
gets and lumps. • The golden reputation of the Me-
roo itself is, however, small in comparison to that
of one of its tributary creeks, the Louisa, on whose
banks such enormous masses of the precious metal
have been found, and where the Great Nugget' Vein
lies. We may state, on the authority of Mr.
,Assistant-Commissioner Green, that the dry dig-
gings in this locality extend or several miles to
Campbell's creek, where from 40,000 to 50,000
miners might find profitable employment. This
tract includes the diggings of Long-creek, the Dirt-
holes, and the Tambaroura, all renowned in their
generation, but all yielding the palm to the Louisa-
-creek, where Dr. Ker found his 1 cwt of gold, and
Brennan his 271 b lump, together with the largest
waterword nugget that the world ever knew of, for
it
,Iyeighed 157 ounces. The gold generally is very
Coarse and' nuggatty, and the miners average from
20s a day upvjurds. There are about 1,500 miners
on the Meroo and. Louisa creeks, at Long-creek,
the Devil's-hole, Pyramid-creek, Nuggetty-gully,
Married-man's-creek, and the Dirtholes.
Between the Turon and the Pyramid, and pa-
rallel to both, lies the Tambaroura-creek, which
joins the IVla,cquarrie several miles below the Turon
junction. The diggings here are generally on table-
' land, and the yield of gold is very large, since we
are informed that many of the claims yield from 2
to 12 ounces a day. The number of miners at the
Tambaroura and its vicinity is computed at 1,000.
The Hanging-rock, situate on the Peel River, is
a gold-field of established renown. The Oaken-
vile, Hurdle, and Oakey creeks, which flow into
the Peel, have been found to be rich in auriferous
deposits, and a large tract of country in the vicinity
presents the same indications. There are about 200
diggers, who are doing well, but 2,000 would cer-
tainly do better.
The last discovered diggings in New South Wales
are at Bingara on the Courangoura-creek, which
joins the Gwydir River, 70 miles to the north-west
of. Tamworth. The persons who first discovered
the treasures of this locality made extraordinary
gains in .a very short time, and the gold appeared
to lie in inexhaustible abundance on all sides. It
is nugetty, coarse-grained, and very little worn.
The usual characteristics of a gold region, slate and
quartz, abound, and a large extent of country in
the vicinity has the same appearance as that of the
diggings at' the Courangoura-creek. At various
places between the Hanging-rock and Bingara gold
has been found, in some instances lying on the sur-
face of the ground.
There are about 8,000 miners at work on all these
various gold fields ; but the Sydney Empire is of
opinion that not less than 200,000 persons would
find profitable employment on, the large tracts of
auriferous country, hitherto unworked, which the
colony is known to possess. The New South Wales
miners, though they all of them are doing well—and
we know by this time what those words mean at the
antipodes--use the rudest and most unsatisfactory
implements. A pick and shovel and a cradle, with,
perhaps, a crowbar and a pump, constitute a miner's
outfit. Considering the brilliant results obtained
by such seemingly inadequate means, the people of
Sydney are eagerly looking forward to that " more
effectual development of the wealth of the gold fields
by operations conducted on an extensive scale di-
rected by scientific skill and aided by all the avail-
able appliances of modern art and industry."
" About half a dozen of such companies," says the
Sydney Empire, " have not only been formed, but
have actually commenced operations." The Great
Nugget Vein Company are setting up expensive
machinery on the banks of the Louisa for crushing
the auriferous quartz of their claim in that locality.
The British Australian and the Australian Mutual
Gold Mining Companies have combined operations
for the purpose of working the alluvial claims on
the Turon. They have secural valuable ground at
Lucky Point, and are preparing to work an island
in the bed of the Turon, near Erskine Point. Cer-
tain Sydney merchants, the Messrs. Samuel, are
draining the water-hole at Ophir, and the Turon
Golden Ridge Quartz Crushing Company are about
to work an auriferous quartz vein on the Lower
Turon, which " promises , the most splendid re-
sults." Besides the very natural desire to vie
with the golden glories of the neighbouring province
,of Victoria, the colonists of New South Wales are
animated by the hope that science and machinery,
directed to the pursuit of gold, will save much
valuable manual labour, and that the companies,
once established, will put an end to the amateur
digging of raw immigrants, of whom it is generally
said that they would do themselves and others
good if they turned their attention and energies to
agriculture and trade.

We have hitherto dwelt only on the established
gold fields ; but, besides these, there are various lo-
calities in which gold is known to exist, but which
have not as yet been worked by any but here and
there a stay " prospecting" party. Chief among
these is the territory of the Abercrombie River, 40
miles south from Bathurst, which forms the upper
portion of the Lachlan. Large quantities of gold
have here been found by chance, not only in the
river itself; but at the Sounding-rock, and in the
Tuenna, Mulgunnia, Copuerhannia, and Mountain
Run creeks. Gold has also been found at Havila.
on Campbell's River, and in the Gylmandyke and
Davis creeks, its tributaries; at Winburndale-creek,
a few miles to the northward from Bathurst ; at
Billaboug range, 100 miles west of Bathurst ; and
at the Snowy Mountains, where the Rev. W. B.
Clarke, who searched by order of the Goverunient,
discovered an extensive tract of auriferous country.
A few more months, a fresh influx' of population,
and the combined powers of capital, enterprise, and
science, will work wonders in New South Wales,
and, as far as the yield of gold is concerned, if it
does not surpass -Victoria, it bids fair at least to
equal the prosperity of that colony.—Times.

THE LAKE DISTRICT-THE LATE STORM ON
THE BANKS OF WINDERMERE.

The following extracts from a letter, dated Winder-
mere, Jan. 1, will enable all who have visited the lakes
to form an idea of the effect of the late gales in that in-
teresting district :—" I am sorry to say that the weather
here is anything but agreeable ; the rains falls continu-
ally, and in a downright steady manner, which leaves
but little hope of its abatement. Within the last month
the rain in this locality has fallen 101 inches—greater
in extent than any on record. On Monday last, and on
Christmas-day, the storms in this part were most terrible;
such, in fact, was the force of the wind, that trees which
had stood the 'battle and the breeze' for centuries lay
broken up and scattered. At the Ferry Hotel six of the
fine old cherry trees are down. Numbers of the old tenants
of Belle Isle have also fallen ; and here, in Elleray, sixty
trees were blown down in a few hours. Houses in all

directions are unroofed, our own being among the unfor-
tunates. I hear bad tidings from the coast close at hand.
Milntherpe and Sandside, together with Lyth Mea-
throp, &c., have all more or less witnessed scenes of
death and destruction. The bodies of eleven poor sailors
were washed on the beach (so I hear), near Sandside ;
and all along the coast to Workington and Maryport is

strewed with wrecks of every description, lying at the
mercy of the winds and waves. Many farmers in the
low end of the valleys running towards the coast are en-
tirely ruined, their sheep and cows, &c., having perished
in the waters. I know parties acquainted with a family
who spent seven hours during the storm of Monday last
on the top of their own house, and saw their cattle
carried away to death by scores. They lost upwards of
a hundred sheep ; they were with difficulty rescued in a
boat. Two lads were overtaken by the rising of the
waters, and took refuge on a peat stack. Thinking it
rather insecure they dropped off and got into a large
birch tree close at hand. The waters rose rapidly, and
the stack was washed away before their eyes. They re-
mained in the tree for six hours, and were rescued almost
in a dying state. Every valley has its tale of woe and
destruction. God help them !'

THE LYTHAM LIFE-BOAT.— On Saturday morning
last, during a very heavy gale, and in a terrific sea of
broken water, this life-boat's qualities were tested in a
very remarkable manner under the following circum-
stances, viz., on the morning aforesaid, a large ship was
seen in the height of the storm in the offing of the Horse
Bank, Lytham, Lancashire, with a signal of distress
flying, a distance from' here of not less than ten miles.
The life-boat was at length, with great difficulty, manned
(owing to the accident in October), and. proceeded at a
rapid rate against a gale right ahead. A considerable
portion of the course to the ship lay through breakers of
a most formidable character-- the crew say, to use their
own words, "that she was quite buried in three in-
stances, but that she immediately emptied herself." The
ship, a large one, was pitching jibboom under, though
in the best trim, being outwardbound ; they were able' to
board her notwithstanding, and supplied them with a
man, which enabled the ship finally to leave this dan-
gerous coast.

- ME REFUGEE TURNED EMPEROR.-With the recent
changes in his position, Louis Bonaparte appears to have
somewhat modified his ideas concerning the propriety of
harbouring refugees in a state. The Augsburg Gazette,
under date of Berlin, 2d, says :—" France will not for
the fixture receive any foreign refugees. The autlioritie:;
of Schildberg (Posen) having expelled two refugees,
and
given them a passport to France, the French ambassa-
dor at our court declared to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, in the name of his Government., that for the
future no foreigners of that category will be received in
France. The Minister of the Interior has,
con
e-
. given formal orders not to deliver any more
passports for France to Polish refugees." We may look
to see M. Bonaparte change his opinions yet again.
