NEW GOLD FIELDS.

A Holiday Tour of CoromandeVs New Mining Areas.

As one bent on a holiday tour, I betook myself in the direction of, tho deserted vil lage of Coroinandel, the once favoured spot of the wandering miner in search for gold and fortune, and at various times the abode of thousands who are now scattered far and near, as their respective inclinations and means may have carried them. It may be interesting to some of these and to your readers to know something of Coromandel, how fares it, and also of the new gold field, Manaia District, its situation and Erospects. Coromandel, as a goldfield, as had many tips and downs during the past thirty, years, many new reefs and new finds, andyetCorcmandelhas no stable industry. Why ? Is this the fault of the population? Is it the fault of its politicians ? Echo answers ? Why is this ? Will the people bestir themselves and sho to it? Coromandel is no better now than it was thirty years ago, Manaia, the new goldfield, is situated about ten miles from the bank corner, which makes it about one-third of the distance on the Thames Road, between Coromandel and Grahametown, and not far from Mercury Bay. By following up the main

creeks from tho Mercury Bay settlement to 3 j the dividing rango, miners will drop odh|| I to the auriferous bolt of country in a iferfffjl I short distance and timo. There is a goo^fif J landing place in the Manaia Harbour, aad» - f road may be made for dray traffic at a very M I trifling cost to the foot of the range* -ifl f Getting to tho mines from hero is a differ- t ent matter, and it is only the in---f domitablo perscvoranco 01 tho gold-miner and the product of his discoveries thatt^g will solve this almost insui'mouritable "jig difficulty. However, to reach Bkckmorc ■■-.■ and Kuffins's claim is an easy matter/and w thero will be no difficulty in pettl^ , machinery here whenever sufficient indnceJiM* ment oflcr». Meantime Blackmora and . Ruffin have lost ro time in getting to workl again after the Christmas . holidays, and *'M will soon develop what it is to be hoped ; w ju turn out one of the most premie* ;S ing discoveries of the goMftelds. li:{M. in many years isinco liuffin and Black- .., I moro first attempted prospecting' ffijfjH j Manaia district, and it is only thdse,X|| who have penetrated the New Zealand - J 'orest but a short distance who can at alt I understand the difficulties a prospector fu9| :o contend witli before discovering a trajjll|| of gold, nnd then to follow this to the reef fflk from where it is supposed to have beeniTlp 1 thrown. Tho supplejacks, the fern, the scrub, tho undergrowth, the surface waab^il and what not; and yet all these difficul. ,f? ties have been and will bo overcome by ;V | miners in search of tho precious metal. j May they all bo suitably rewarded for,theirf|| industry". The reef in this cage has beeo« j discovered by driving, and is covered by &$ » 7or 8 feet of surface. The drive is now ;wsm ! about 35 feet, and all along the floor for'^f i about 24 feet golden etone was picked ont—? || some worth about 2oz». to the lb. The,". drive in tho faco enters a fine sandstono rook, and the reef has every appearance ofili making as it goes ahead. However, the "J; management have for the present deter-^S mined to try another drive below - ti?J*| run and if this profes the run down--|l wards, the proprietors will have af| valuable reef to work upon. There are 'BA several other leaders and reefa on 'thftaH claim ; but as they cannot all be tried bysjg tho same hands and by the same men. at (MB same time, a little patience will be required^ I to await their development. Theprospec-f|§|j tors have about 18 acres applied for under license, but as the auriferous belt extend!'Sß for some miles on either eide over broken f§ country and bush, any person working MM \ ground adjoining may hit something: m j equally good, « not better, thta|a the prospectors. Hayes and Co^hlajjH are at work on ground adjoining, V* and have a small stringer, which they pur- -W J pose following into the sandstone rock;«i|| where they hope to have good chow in MM stone. At present loose gold only is eh- : M tamed from dish-washing. Manaia No. 2 j$ wants about 8 feet of driving done yet WM intersect the feef, where good prospect?;, :M were obtained upoa the fiurface, Wm Khartoum Claim has also a fair Bhow, aidjfl a considerable amount of prospecting work g done. This claim has a good (how "fbirjw cutting the reef, and will give a good'M account of itself after the holiday? are ov«r, %m This is not the only auriferous belt. Another Goldflold, McGregor's new find, although in th?J|| same locality, speaking figuratively! ».-,*{£ quite a new goldfield, situated about i&sßb miles from Blackmore and Rnffin's claiih,||« and is moro inland towards the. dmdirijHjß rango, more difficult of access, and wore ■''.'■'. precipitous. There are few men poi-f.^fl seeEed of the.patience, perseverance, anilS|| pluck to penetrate such rough country;'!® For such a length of time as McGiegor hat -$; done in search of the golden treasure, ans|S Mr McGregor i 3 certain he has it this time in"?B Bolid gold. He feels quite insulted at bein|al told by tome inexperienced new-chums UuffS he is showing retorted gold. It is nosnclis* thing ; it is gold from the wash alongndeSE of the reef, and McGregor owns the centre^! block of one of the beßt auriferous belts.iniS the neighbourhood. Of course, McGregorigH friends have the ground adjoining; but-sg there is plenty open to be taken up by any^ party of miners game to tackle the raD6^>3| and with means under command to keep^B them feoing for a term. To any snchJlaH would say, Try your luck. McGregor wiU_-^ be happy to give any infornation \n hl^H power to strangers visiting his goldfield|^, who are anxious and willing to tiy their ;$£ luck. His long experience in proEpectirip|S the neighbourhood gives him an advanoeo-'Jfr knowledge which no one else possesses. : ;

Whatever oi vfiluo thore may bo in tho legion of quacks and nos trums imposed upon a too-gcnorouß and con fiding publio for the stronger sox, thoy havo proved themselves to be utterly valueless for fomalo use.

These PiUs are highly recommended for In digestion, Headaoho, Biliousness, Liver Com plaints (the latter aro frequently tho cause of irregularity), Giddiness, Constipation, and especially in conjunction with tho Calendar Pills, with which it is suggested (for reasons fully explained in circulars accompanying Medicines) thoy Bhould be obtained. . All who havo used thoso Remedies tostify to tho kindliness and regularity of tho monthly sickness. In many oasos of paleness, debility, and loss of appetite of months duration, causing the gravesi fears of consumption, the judicious use of the Pills and Tonic has restored the bloom of hoalth, strength, and enjoyment of food. The attention of lady principals, matrons of publio and private institutions, mothers, mil liners, dressmakers, shop-girls, domestic ser vants, factory girls, and all engaged in seden tary occupations or closely confined situations, Is called to the unequalled Tonio and corrective virtues of these famous Remedies.
