town and will work quite q number Of
men In the mine.
Work hes been commenced IN the
placer mines near Hillsborough but only
a small force Of men will be employed

district have been worked to a greater
OF less extent for the past twenty years
bat the ecarcity Of water has prevented
extensive operations. Tho placers around
Marlborough are richer an6 more exten-
sive than those Of any other district in
the Territory except the placers near

mill was running smoothly.
Manager " airing says that there is no
immediate prospect that the Flsgler
Works here will be started up. The low
price Of silver makes 1t impossible to
/, treat low grade ores at a profit and there
is no reason 10 hope that the works will
, be started this year. With silvera { even
a dollar an ounce the works could be
kept running to their full capacity which
is about one hundred tons OF ore a Gay.
