The Legislature since January, 1887, has made several 
rules and regulations for gold mining, and, as a conse- 
quence, several disputes have arisen among the placer- 
holders : a few legal proceedings have been the happy 
outcome. 
A few diamonds have been found ; and it is likely that, 
when the new town of Bartica is finished, and the ques- 
tion of the disputed territory settled, British Guiana will 
have cause to bless Sir WALTER RALEIGH for his El 
Dorado.
