It must, however, fall considerable short of tijis amount. 'I'he mines on second Broad Fiiver, in the north-western part of the coun ty (known as the .Icanstown mines) are still iiinong the most productive and extensive in this region. But gold is more or less disseminated in every .stream and rivulet in th« county, 'i'he mines in tlie south-west- eni |»art of the county have been worked during the winter and .spring with the most liandstjine advantage; and many new mines Imve been discovered on the waters of I’ackolet and White Oak Rivers, which proini.«e to be as pnHluctivc as any hitherto discovered.
