GoLp IN QurBec PrRovince.—Says a Quel bec paper: ‘Mr. Eegnoy, a_ practica+ miner, who has resided in California for 30 years, has been prospecting at the Gilbert River in the county of Beauce, and reports the prospects as exceedingly good. He thinks it is quite as profitable to work the gold mines in Beauce as it has been those of California, and looks forward toan era of great prosperity for the Province from the wealth of the gold mines in the Chau. diere Valley.”
