THAMES, this day.

Golden CroWK (gully).—Two men are now employed in the stopes on No. 2 reef, Cure section, and it is probable work here will have to be discontinued till the battery level tunnel has been put in, as the ventila tion is very close and more filling is wanted than can easily ba procured. Three shifts will ba employed next week to push on the tunnel as quickly as possible, In the meantime quartz for tbe mill will be obtained from the No. 1 reef at the 100 feet level. This will be stoped cither side of Wo. 1 travelling pass, near the main shaft, and though known to be of low grade, it is expected to be payable.

MANUKAtf.—MrT. B. Hicks, manager, has cleaned out the. cross-cut at No. 3 level, Caledonian shaft, for 150 feet from the chamber, laying down air boxes as he went. There Is a considerable amount of mullock to truck out from here, but as soon as the Manukau boundary is reached, tenders will bo called to drive for the Waiotahl No. 5 reef, Karaka. Mr Daweon Crawford has been appointed man ager, and has started to work. He is cleav ing out an old level, aud expects to get a gold-bearing leader. After extending it 50 feet on this ha probably will drive to its junction with the reef worked by former proprietors of the ground.

(FROM THE "COEOMANDEi MAIL."

One of the greatest events of this week is the striking of rich gold in Scotty's reef in the lowest level of the Kapanga mine, giviug 200 feet of fresh backs below the 300-feet level on this renowned retf. The London shareholders will feel highly gratified that so great a measure of success has attended the efforts of the mine mana ger, Captain Thomas, while this community has now an assurance that permanent opeiations will be carried on; The class of stono coming out is so good as to justify the {highest hopes of the future prosperity of the company. One of the benefits flow ing from the clucsvery of rich and payable gold in this mine is the impttus it has given to mining on the Beach, as there is believed to be a rich belt of auriferous ground extonding from the Union BaßCh to the Kapanga, and there is every proba bility that nil the availablo giound inter vening betweenjthesc two claims will be worked. At the Kapanga end the most biilliant prospects are held out, and the now Cotby, among other enterprises, has not only been projected but actually carried to n successful issue daring the week, as far as the floating of the company is con cerned, and work of a permanent character is being started at once, by which it is proposed to Work on an old run of gold, and also to open out on Scotty's retf at the neaicst available point ,to the Kapanga. At the Union Beach end of this important section of the gold-field there is consider able activity. For some days past there has been that peculiar agitation which, without any definite infonna'ion as to gold having been picked up, leads people on to buy shares. Wo are informed that up wards of ten thousand shares had change d hands before midday of Wednesday, one person asking another, "What g.ld has been got in the Union Beach?" On Wed nesday afternoon, while a directors' meet ing was being held in Auckland, the 11 ---lowing telegram was leceived by them from the mine manager :-*-" Six pounds specimen stono from Green' Harp (reef) under 80-feet level, seaward of Venus drive. Gold still showing. Leader untouched be low seaward of Venus drive. Signed, Noah Ulimo," The past history of this mine has causod its name to be familiar throughout the colony, and -it is believed that the shares will bo well distributed aad a strong company re-formed, which will eventually load to the sinking of tho main shaft and the deeper working of the mine. The lona is nnotber enterprise likely to rank high in public favour from its proximity to the Union Keach mioo, and the fact that the Green Harp and Cross leaders are be lieved to tun diicctly towards tbe loua shaft, which in years past was sunk a dis tance of ISO feet, and driven from abont 100 ftet, when tho mino was flooded with water which burst in a regular stream from the face ot the level. A strong company has been formed to work this around, the shaft has been emptied of mullock aud se cured, and during next week it is expected that good progress will bo made in clearing out tho level. 'Iho' Jiut-in-Time ranks as one of tho most spirited undertaking carried out in Coromandel. Tho miue looks well, and the crushing stuff is shaping at tho battery fora fond payable retain, and we trust the greatest success will crown tho etloita of tha promoter*. The Success has been quiet for the past week, or two, owing to the fact that no stoping had been done on the run of gold, and con sequently tjiere has not been the usual output of specimens. The Tokatea shows signs of coming to the front, operations in the low level haying disclosed a strong leader on "tho footwall side of the lode channel from which, on Saturday and Monday last, a large haul of picked stone was obtained, the gold boiog of a coarse character and thickly distributed through the solid stone.

Union Beach.—The manager being familiar with the old runs of gold in tbis mino hag been engaged prospecting sections of tho reef left in the neighbourhood of former rich disoovoricF, and announces the striking of gold in the famous Greon Haip leader, which is intact in solid ground be low the 80-feet lovol seaward of tho Venus drive. The work of stripping tbo winze and sinHng it from the ISO feet level has fairly started, and up to latest advices the Tangyo pump worked well. lOKA, -■ Satisfactory progress bas been made since Mr Sraughan took charge of this niinp; tho shaft has been put in thorough good order, n»d a start made, clearing out the levels, tbo timbers of which appear to ho sound. Some of the flabs have merely given way, allowing stuff to run from tbo roof, Tho prospect* of this mine are considered to bo equal to anything recently started; and tho fact of tho'costjy work of sinking a main shaft being saved the company, tho future de velopment of the ground is comparatively simple and inexpensive. The 'inaclunery just erected is the best of its kind, and suf ficient to meet all lequirenieuts for years to come. TOKATEA,—The manager has been carry on extensive prospecting operations from the low level, takwg out a wide block of ; ground from the footwall to the hanging wall, which at this part of the mine has been unusually wide, carrying several strong leader.*, The one on tho footwall side has proved the richest, and is in parts four or five inches wide, carrying coarse gold ; nud so far as tho stone actually broken out can be taken as a guide it looks very v/eli for tbo future. The inter mediate level west is going through good country, but ho gold is showing in the reef. In about 65 feet tho face will come under one o£ tho riebest runs of gold worked iv tho van level from No. -7 rise, and, as the richest gold got in the pre sent block has been got eoing west toward the b'g reef, the probabilities are in favour of the dividend patches beine all ahead, though the upper block recently stoped out to tho east of tho winze has turned out a lot of gold, enabling the Board of Direc tors to pay off an overdraft and carry on extensive dead work, and still keep a good credit balance in the Sank, Mew Corby.—All thep;omotion shares are taken up, and tbo mino will be vigorousjy worked at onco. rJ ho old Corby leader will be oporated upon, and there is good reason to expect profitable returns for the expenditure of capital. Homeward Bound. — The contractors have made aood progress with the low lovel. Tiernan's Freehold. — Tho manager is driving on the cross leader, and has ob talnpd a few njco stoao showing coarse gold.

THE AUCKLAND CRICKETERS.

Auckland V. Wellington.

(13r TELKORAPH.—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, Friday night. APPEAKANCE3 so far tend to the con clusion that the match hero will be won very easily indeed by the Auckland men. Our bowliDg to-day was not so good as usual, and yet the Wellington wickets fell rapidly. Unly four men were clean bowled, Buckland and Robin son having a couple each to their credit, and the majority of the others were caugh*. O'Brien appeared to be "off colour " surprisingly to-day; missing two easy CAUbes, and playing aa easy ball into his wickets without scoilng is nothing to boast of in one day. Dufaur was obliged to leave the wickets during the earlier part of the Wellington innings, in consequence of having received further injury to his bad finger. Testro made a very good sub stitute. Taken as a whole, the Auckland ii-ldiog wjsnot nearly sogood as at Christ church, and was certainly no improvement on that of tho Wellington innings. Lynch, younger brother of our "Dan," )lajed a stylish innings to-day, getting all lis runs by good cricket. Bis performance in the field was however not so creditable. 6lpe, another »ld Aacklander, played a steady game, but had a bit of luck With his fcore. The Auckland iuniogs called for little comment. Barton and Robinson got their runs in pretty style, but tbe latter wus rather "streaky" at the Btart. Aineil opened well, but a "curly shooter" was too much for him, and he haa no reason U feel ashamed of such a ball. O'Brien playing lazly at the next jlayod into bis wicket. Tostro's innings was a long and steady one, and'showed that he is siill the "stone waller of old." Yates played a very pretty innings; his clean diiving along tbe carpet and neat cut ing attracting adinira'ion everywhere on the ground. Unfortunately his lameness prevented bis running for him self, but Gardner and Barton twootod for him. Gardner batted in better style than usual, some of his drives being very clean. There were five wickets down for 157 iuns when time was called. It may be added that the wicket was played fast. 'The following is the conclusion of yes terday's play: —Wellington took the fir Id at 3.35, «icholls acting a? wicket-keeper j Kaapp, square leg; Alp?, long stop; Blacklock, point; Brown, long off. Lynch, lout' on; Ueenan, coverpoint; Luxford, third man ; Salmon, long leg. Kobinson and Barton represented Auckland at the wickets, facing the.bßwline; ct Kreeft and Firth. Barton got a siogle off both bowlers, and Robinson skiedone of Kreeft's at mid-on ; the wicket-keeper might have held it easily, but did not stir-one wss ran, and Bat ton added another by a short on-drive, and the* dew Firth io leg fir two. A grand on-drive by Bn ton only produced one, Lynch fielding smartly. Rofrnson hkied another at long-leg, but it was safe, Salmon being too far out—one wai iun, and another cime from two off the "next b-ill. Barton put Kreeft Bioely to long-leg fur two, and drove another to the off {or a single — th« telegraph showed ten. Barton drew Firth beautifully to leg aga;n for one, and two mtf'e came from leg byes. Barton cat Kreeft for another single, and Robinson put him out of bounds at lonsi-field, three being cal'cd. Bit ton drove Kreeft again to tbe on, aud the telegraph showed 20 Barton drove .Firth out of bounds at square leg, aud was credite-i with four. Long-leg at upper end was brought in, ana placed at mid-on. Barton drove Kreeft prettily along the carpet for another single, and drew Firth beautifully to long-leg for two, Robinson, who had been scoring more slowly tban .his p&rtnar, brought 30 upon the telegraph by a fieo drive out of bounds at long-field for 3. Barton got three moie by putting Krteft through the boun dary at long leg, and a single came from a pretty cut. Robinson now b gan to open out, putting Firth over tbe boundary beau tifully at square-leg for 4. He followed it up by a botiudary drive off the same bowler for three mare. Ljxford|replac.d Kieeft as bowler at the wood end, and Kobinson cut his first for a single. Barton got one irom an oil' dme, and another by putting Firth along tbo carppt into longrfj'ld. Kobiason.wlio had been evincing a decided penchant for biting to he, on tho side where four w»s allowed for a bjundary, put another under the ropes in that direc tion, and a stolen leg slngld by Barton brought 50 up oa the telegraph. Barton cut K'e«lt for 1 and Firth for another, and Robiasou got another of his boundary hits for four to leg from Firth,, In Lasfqrd's next over, Barton wa* clean bawled—l—2B —50. Barton's innings was a very pretty one, and on his retirement he was loudly applauded. Testro followed, atd cut Lux lord's first for a single. There was a chance to run Kobinson our, but Lynch lost it by fuinbling the ball, Luxford novr took the ball at tbe southern end, replaoing firth, whose last few overs bad been badly punished. Firth went on at the lower end, and Robinson put his second ball up at long-on, where it was held by Kreeft—2 —25—58. Yates, the next man, brought 60 by a grand drive out of bounds for 4 off Firth, and put his nextf to lea for oae, asd his leg being still p^cded, hqpped across the wickets in lively e^yie We played a maiden frorft LuxfQrd, and Tea'ro took another from Firth. Yates cut Luxford prettily out of bounds for three, and Testro took the remaining balls of the over without scoring, Yates played another maiden from Firth, and Teatro again fol lowed suit. Yates drove Firth for a single, and Testro cut him for two more again. The same batsman cut Luxford prettily be hind point; a maiden to each bowler. The fielding of Blacklock, point, and Bcenan, cover, was good. Testro scored one, to one pff Fifth,, a goqd, leg b,it, but was well fielded by Salmon. A good oijdrive to Yatesallalougthe carpet to the boundary was the next contribution. . Again Yates, by hard wrist play, placed a ai'ogle to long off, Testro by strong back play keeping up his end. A snick by the scodc-waller brought 80 up. Gardner haying gone iv to run tor Ya'tes, who is still lame, heip stole one played by Testro to forward pojnt, Tealro. hit Luxford grandly tq the boundary for four, and neatly cut him for one, Yatos playing tbe next hard to cover, Testro fol lowing suit. Lynch went on yieß Firth Testro played the first to third man, bring ing up 9Q. Yateß diqve the samp, howler for three to the on side. Then Testro ron a short single to forwatc] short leg. Tostro next made a pretty late cut off Luxford to the boundary, Yates drove the next for a couple. T§siro hit Lynch to leg to the boundary, bringing up the three fignjes—loo -amidst applause. Kreeft relieved Luxford at tho scuta end. Yates made a grand square leg hit over the ropes offL,ynqa foj four, and then drove his next for three, Testro playing the last of the over to Equate leg, bringing up" 110. Yates played a ball neatly ia the slips for 3. A late cut by Yates produced a single. A third chanse ia the slips off Firth by Yates was refused by Kreeft, who almost held the ball, but eventually dropped it. A single by Y&tes to leg off the over and another single to leg off Kreeft by the same bifeman brought up 120. Yates played the first prettily iv tbe slips for three, and Testro cut Kreeft for one. A leg single by Yates was added to the score, aud Testro put Kreeft well away to long leg for a couple. Vatcs again drove Kreeft beautifully along the carpet, but good fielding confined the scoring off it to one run, Firth sent down a maiden to Testro, and Yates drove Kreeft to long off for a tingle. The telegraph shewed 130. Kreeft tried "Eestro with a slow, and it was driven well into deep field tor two. xestro gave Lynch a very easy catch at mid-on off the next, but it was refused. Luck was against our stone waller, the next ball shooting into his wickets. He played a steadyjdefensivegame for 34, acd was loualy cheered on his retiring—3 -34—132. Avneil, the next man, cut his tecond ball from Kreeft out of bounds for 3 and played well for. ward to the next from Firth, but lost his wicket by a shooter -4-8—135. O'Briea went in aud Barton relieved Gardner as Yates's ruun.r. Tae first ball from Firtu wai played by O'Brien into his wicket— 0 —0—135. Gardner filled the vacancy, and played his first from Firth in tne slips for two. He drove tie next along the carpet to long-off for a single, and played a, maiden from Kreeft at the other end. Yates got one by playing Firth to lej, and Gardner, playing another at mid-off for a single, brought up 140. Gardner drove Kreeft for l.and 1 was added ; o Yates's score by a snick to short-leg. Yates got two mure by put ting Firth to long-leg, and Gardeer another in the same direction, Luxford relieved Kreeft as bower at tbe southern end, and his third ball was prettily driven to long-field by Gardner fora single. Gardner drove Firth through the bowle.'a legs for two, and several sHcceesive maidens were bowled, and Gardner cut Firth for two when time was called, Auckland having lost five wickets for 157; Yate« 44, Bn 3 Gardner 12,; being not Oivt,
