Little Lookoot, which is a miniatore resemblance 

 of the other, lies at !he distance of about an hour 

 and a halts walk bence through the jungle. It 

 does not appear to have been wrougbt above 

 seven or eight years, as ground had been broken 

 iuonly two or three places in 1828, at which pe-

 in 182B, or thereabouts. A small quantity of 

 gold dust was found in the neighborhood of the 

 ore, but not in sufficient quantities to repay the 

 trouble of collecting it.

 are eighty two rivers by nieaus of wbich» where 

 the banks are inhabited, tin, rattans, and occasi-
