STEWART, ROBINS and Co., Forest Creek.
Another instance of luck occurred a day or two ago in
a quartz claim adjoining Messrs. Stewart and Robins.
The side of the.shaft gave way about six feet from the top,
and disclosed a stone for which the proprietor of the c6.im
refused one pound weight of gold. He estimates it to
contain at least sixteen ounces. There was nothing in the
immediate vicinity of the stone to lead to the supposition
that anything of the sort was contained there, and but for
the accidental falling of the earth, its discovery would
have been 'postponed until •a more effectual and thorough
system of working our quartz reefs is adopted.

VICTORIA.
(From the Melbourne Herald of June 23.)

The price during the week has been steady at 31. 16s. t•
3/. 16s. 3d., though the business has not been large on ac-
count of the high prices paid for most of that which has
been forwarded by escort. For Ballarat gold our price.
has been 3/. 17s. 9d., and for bars 3/. 13s. Sti: per standard
ounce.

As we expected, now that a slight fall in the price has
been noted, there have been several inquiries made for
gold for the Sydney market, and we may expect that in
another week or two the mint in Sydney will be again
supplied with Victoria gold.

We are happy to note a decided improvement at Mary.
borough and several adjacent diggings. A correspondent,
writing from Korong, also says—" We have plenty of gold
getting here, and business is very good." At present the
Avoca diggings are not yielding so satisfacterily as for some
time past, and many of the diggers have been leaving for
Dunolly and other neighbouring places ; but the Avoca has
always fluctuated more than any other diggings, on account
of the exceeding " patchy" nature of the gold.

SPECIE.

The price of gold remains without alteration. The en-
tries ft,r shipment into the Custom-house to-day consisted
of 4,958 ounces for Calcutta and Gi ounces for Liverpool.
A Sandhurst paper of this day reports—Very little is
doing in bar gold, in consequence of some recent not very
palatable ,discoveries made by one of tho banks here. So
far as we can learn, some bar gold, bought without any
suspicion, has turned out to be very inferior to its assumed
value, and there are other circumstances connected with
the matter that, we understand, are now undergoing a,
most searching investigation.

JIM CROW RANGES.
(From the Melbourne Herald tf June 25.)
The rush at Brook-hill still continues, and the yield is
first-rate. The dry diggings are also doing well, and will,
it is generally believed, turn out the main diggings in this
district.

The population is estimated at 6,030, and the last escort
conveyed about 2,700 oz. of gold, a fact which speaks for
itself, and plainly shows that Jim Crow is not yet
worked out.
