Bulolo Junction.

From Our Own Correspondent.

WAU, July 2.

AT the end of last year, Messrs. Marsh, Pollard and Fahey (forming the Marwil Syndicate) had got on to some very rich wash on the Koranga-

Bulolo Junction, and there was a mild rush to peg hydraulic claims along the boundaries of the Kylie lease.

This ground, however, consists of very high terraces above the Bulolo, and it was found impossible to work most of the claims, owing to lack of water. The Syndicate, however, put in a water race from the Koranga and is obtaining very good returns, but the greater number of the other claims have been abandoned.
