MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR.
Saturday. 33th August, 1859.
THE price of gold continues -without alteration
dust being from7G3to 79s, and ingota, 75s'3d.
Several new rushes and new reefs are pasted
this week, many producing Tery surprising results,
tut all doing well. Tlie spirit of enterprise non
set moving with regard to the increase of capital
to work the quartz reefs of our gold fields, con
tinues unabated. Several companies with large
capital are now fairly launched, and a ven* short
time v, :il slio^v the soundoȣ3 of the basis upou
which they have been started. We hope that their
mcaesa will stimulate additional enterprise with
ground yet untouched. By this means we may
safely calculate upon a very large increase to our
gold produce, and a corresponding benefit to those
individuals who had the courage to venture on
that which until veiylately had been of doubtful
success. At the rate that companies are now in
creasing, we will soon gee all the known quartz
reefs under the productive power of sb*aui, which
taut produce results beneficial to the miner in
particular and to the colony generally,
