GOLD DIGGINGS IN NOVA SCOTIA.-

Sherbrooke, Guysborough County, Nova
Scotia, Oct. 28, 1861.
The gold workings are situated about a mile and
a half from the west bank of the St. Mary's River,
opposite the village of Sherbrooke. The precious .
metal was first discovered by a man named Nicker-
son, and about 40 applications for three-quarter
acre lots have been made up to this time. From
all I can see, this goldfield promises to be equal to
any yet discovered. As a general rule the miners
have not yet got fairly to work on the leads, but
even the extremely rude means employed have
amply remunerated some of them. On the claims
laid out eight fine veins of quartz, all more or less
gold-bearing, have been discovered. There are two
of eight inches in thickness, one of about 15 inches,
and the rest from four to six inches. The northerly
lead has been the most worked, and seems so far to
be the most productive. One man I know to have
taken out at least 40 dols. worth in an afternoon
by breaking it up with a small hammer. I saw
him do it. One of the nuggets was worth at least
10 dole., and one or two worth 5 dols. each. The
remaining quartz would, of course, pay well
for crushing. On one of the claims the
washing will average half a dollar to the
pan of raw dirt, which will pay well. The only
question to be answered in reference to these dig-
gings is, will they hold out according to promise P
If we take the experience of other parts of the pro-
vince as a guide, there is every reason to believe they
will. The Wine Harbour diggings are about 15
miles from here, and the accounts from these con-
tinue good, but I have no means of comparing their
productiveness with those at Sherbrooke. There
have been but few persons here from Halifax, and
any who do come must make up their minds to be
pretty well shaken up on the journey. You can get
here either by the Guysborough coach or by sailing
vessel to the mouth of the St. Mary's river, from
which you can row up, about eight miles, to this
village. I forgot to say that the general direction of
the veins is 68 deg. west, corresponding to the strike
of the enclosing strata, which is hard, slaty in struc-
ture, and considerably shattered, dipping about N.
22 deg. E., at a very high angle. The quartz is
highly impregnated with metallic minerals, consist-
ing of bi-sulphurets of iron and copper, arsenical
pyrites, and, 1 think, some silver. The fire has been
through all the region in the neighbourhood of the
diggings, and the ground is mostly open, rocky,
barren, and somewhat swampy.—Montreal Ad-
vertiser.

LEEDS—DEc. 10.

The dull report from Mark-lane yesterday has caused us
to have a very slow market. The small amount of busi •
ness passing in wheat was at rather under last Tuesday's
currencies. Barley rather lower, Oats and other articles
as before.
