The discovery of gold in the Aurora mine, Upper Tararu, is regarded by the Thames Advertiser as an event of considerable im portance to the whole Upper Tararu district. A reporter was despatched to the mine, and the result of his visit is published in Wednesday's Advertiser, from which we make the following extract:—"We are glad to find that the report which reached us, after making some allowance for slight exaggeration, is substantially correct. That gold in what appears to be rich payable quantities is to hand from a large reef is an undoubted fact, and we think we may congratulate the shareholders on the promising prospect before them. The Aurora claim was formerly the Scottish Chief. It comprises an area of 13J acres, to work which a company in 2,200 shares has been formed. We might state that the mine is almost, if not entirely, owned by Auckland shareholders, and to their enterprise and perseverance is due the development of the reef which has now been ouened with such fair prospects. With the single exception of the Vulcan mine, the Aurora is the only one at present being worked in the whole of the Upper Tararu district. To gentlemen requiring first-class tobacco and cigars, if they would only visit Mrs Sharpe's neat little American Tobacco and Cigar Divan (next Bank New Zealand) they may purchase the same cheaper than in any other house in the city. No inferior goods kept in stock ; would not purchase such for the public at any price. One trial is suffi cient to guarantee a continuance of custom, Give a call. —Apvt,
