Mining on the Shotover is now in full swing again (says a correspondent of the Wakatip Mail). Near to Aspinall’s old holding is Gates’s claim, which is situated just below the bridge. This energetic miner is tunnelling under the river, which is a method of mining quite new to the Shotover. — The Skippers Sluicing Company is now in full swing again, and is sluicing a cut towards Grace’s old run. Just below the Skippers Company’s claim is Paterson Bros. claim, Stony Creek.
