The Corner Hotel has changed hands. Mr Blain has purchased from Mr Fletcher, and Mr Hamea will. become tenant next month. Mr Morris, we understand, will leave the district for Penshurst, at which place he is about to take a hotel. The Eldorado Hotel will also have another tenant, but it is not yet known who is the party who will occupy.

We extract the following from the Government "Mineral Statistics" for 1871, from which it will be seen that Alexandra produces a higher average yield of gold, and, with one exception, pays more money for deposits on mineral leases than any other division of the Beechworth District:-

Average yield of gold from quartz crushed in 1871 in the several divisions mnd subdivisions of the mining district of Beechworth, from returns made by the Mining Surveyors and Registrars.
