1871 - [IMMIGRANTS]
The population has been increased during the week by arrivals from Queensland, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, those from the latter island assert that the rash there was a "sell", beyond doubt. So it is pretty conclusive that the fame of Gulgong has spread extensively.

1871 - [WATER SCARCITY]
The Water Company now being formed proposes to convey water by means of a race from Reedy Creek to dams to be constructed in the vicinity of the various leads, which will enable puddling machines to be erected close to the workings and thus materially reduce the working expenses of claims. In fact where there is any depth of poor washdirt it will make all the difference of a profit or loss. The length of the water races will be about eight miles through favourable country for cheap and expeditious cutting. We sincere-ly hope that the promoters - who are old Ovens and New Zealand miners - will be able to carry out their spirited "spec" to a successful issue.

1871 - [IMMIGRANTS]
The population is still increasing, without any sign of cessation. This is to be regretted; as the goldfield is now over populated. Many who come are almost hard up, and as the opening for hired labour and shepherding is very limited, numbers must soon "clear out" for other localities. No doubt the depressed condition of all the other goldfield of this colony, as well as the dullness prevailing on the goldfields of Victoria and New Zealand, has caused in influx of miners who, un-der more favourable circumstances, would not have visited Gulgong.

A very near fatal accident occurred on Saturday last to Mr. W. B. Henderson, an Inspector of Mines [late of New Zealand] who was on a visit to Gulgong for the purpose of inspecting some of our quartz reefs on be-half of a wealthy Sydney firm. The accident happened through the inexperience of the person driving and by some means the buggy capsized; Mr. Henderson being violently thrown out in such a way that the horse either trod upon or kicked him on the right side of the head, above the ear. There was a wound about 4 inch-es long. Dr. Forbes has great hopes of a speedy recov-ery. The driver escaped injury, they were on their way to the Old Gulgong Reef.
