He stated that he had sunk l5 feet, and from the character Of the gravel at the bottom of this hole he be- lieved he was quite near to bed.ock, but that water was r ubling him and made further sinking withou, pumping facilities very difficult, says the current Star.
 He has sunk tbis hole on the right limit of the creek about 80 feet from center of the channel as it flowed last summer. From the gravel above the water he had washed about one cent to the pan, and from the gravel contained by box IT inches high by l2 inches wide and 12 inches long he had washed out S2.5O in gold dust. Thi- box had Q cubical content of PAS cubic inches, or cubic foot 72O cubic inches, which would represent about ITO pounds of gravel.
 Mir Fox also reports that Wm. Ban- field is on 2la on Ruby preparing to work systematically.
