 The purser adds that no new strikes have been made on Hammond and DO one is going to get rich there, for the ground is frightfully spotted and very expensive to work, so that most of the money goes for expenses. Still all of the miners are working away in the expectation of finding one of the rich spots and picking up d few thousand in coarse nuggets in a few hours.
