THE FAR NORTH-WEST.
LITTLE DINGARA. December 10.
Tickalara Station, on which the Fitzgerald Brothers lost about £100,000 in ten years, has just been sold to Kidman Brothers for £10,000. Grass and water are fairly plentiful around
here, but from other portions of the district bad accounts are received. Last week they had an inch and a quarter at Durham Downs. Cooper's Creek. The country lower down is in a deplorable state. On Innamincka Station they can hardly raise a horse to ride through the run. Xo stock movings arc reported, neither is there any likelihood of any for n-me time, as nearly all the stock route* leading to southern markets are practically closed.
