THE G01:1) FIELDS OF NEV SOUTH

WALES.

Respecting the gold mining districts there is little to
be said in addition to what was contained in our last
summary. From various causes the excitement preva-
lent in the early part of last month has much subsided.
Some of those who have left this city have returned dis-
appointed, and the acclunts they gave of the fields which
they had visited were such as to dishearten others. Most
of these disappointed men, however, it is well known,
started without sufficient capital to enable them to give
the diggings a fair trial, and because their anticipa.
twos were not realised within the time they prescribed,
and with the labour they felt disposed to bestow, they
abandoned their claims and sought for an excuse in any
other but the true source. That such was the case is
also proved by the fact that at Rocky River the holes in
several of the deserted claims are not bottomed ; and at
the western districts those who, though unsuccessful at
first, gave 'other fields a trial have met with sufficient en-
couragement to induce them to remain. The postpone.
meta of the amendment of the gold fields regulations iu
consequence of the present Ministerial changes has also
had an effect in causing many quondam diggers to delay
rssutning their former pursuits. There is also compare
tively little prospecting carried on, owing to the unsatis-
factory encouragement given wider the present regula-
tion . Further, the quantity of gold that was expected
by this time has not been received, particularly. from
Rocky River; but this is to be attributed to the wantof an
escort and to the fact that the diggers there keep posses-
sion of what gold they find except se much as they are
compelled to diTose of in order to meet the oast of
liv ng. Ail these circumstances combined have some•
what damped the feeuug that existed in the city at t-ie
hegin...tiing of Avast. -Netovi • -

gratifying to be-able to itate"rthit'-thellcco-iiitii re
ceived from those ‘‘ ho have contnued at the fields are
satisfactory and in some cases highly encouraging.
Certainly, Stoney-creek has not been found so extensive
afield as it was thought to be, but this may be owing
to O. e want of proepecting; seeing that the gold in
.that
quarter was found to be deposited in patches. To a great
extent this is also the case at Rocky River. It has been
ascertained that the gold there does not run in a lead as
at Ballarat, and the diggers from Victoria feel mot a little
annoyed by this circumstance. On the 13th of last
month 2,019 ounces' were received in the city from the
Rocky River. It had been purchased by one person in
the course of four weeks. Several other small quanti-
ties have been received, and the latest accounts are that
most of tie holes pay. In some great quantities are
found ; and a few days ago a letter was received by a
victoria digger in this city which stated that a party of
his friends took 6,000 ounces cut of a hole 160 feet ,leep.
This statement, however, has not yet b:-en confirmed.
The latest accounts state that generally from three to
four ounces were found in a tin dish full of stuff. At
S oney-creek there have been some very good finds,
though not so great as those mentioned in our last sum-
mary. The field, however, has a generally prosperous
appearance, and some new spots have been discovered.. At
several of the ether diggings there have been some re-
markable instances of good fortune. In the neighbour-
hood of Braid wood a party of four found a nugget of
upwards of 103 oz, At Tuena one party took out 100
oz. in eight days. At Merob one person purchased
2;0001. worth of gold, and, if he had had the means,
could have purchased about double that amount. Some
old ground has been reopened at Major's-creek, and is
turning out well, between 60 and 70 oz. having been
obtained from 1 cwt. of earth. The quantity of gold
lirought down by the escort from the southern and west-
ern districts on the 23d ult. was little sheet of 4,000 oz.,
or double the amount usually brought from the two dis-
tiicts.—Sydney Herald of Sept. 1.
