OUR GOLDFIEIDS

Thames, this day.

Saxon.-45 lbs of picked stone wore got to-day from the hanging-wall portion of the reef in the hillward end of No. 3 level.

OHINEMURI.

Kabangahake, Saturday. The Ivanhoe battery is now employed in the reduction of a 20-ton parcel of quartz for Heiteman and party, tributers in the Woodstock mine, and the show on the plates would indicate a payable return. At Railey's mill there is a 12-ton lot now under treatment forthcDubbo mine and remunera tive results are anticipated. The proprietors of the Diamond mine are sending a 40-ton parcel of high-grade ore to Eailey's plant, and the bullion return should be a good one. Moore and party, tributers in the Kenilworth mine, have despatched a 9-ton trial lot of second - class ore to Bailey's mill for treatment, and should it yield payably there is a large tonnage of the same sort ready for trans port

Waiiii, Saturday.

On behalf of the Silverton G.M.Co., Mr J. A. Pond has taken up and applied for a large area of ground as a special claim, which is now being surveyed by Mr Baker, who has also been instructed to survey a water race for the same com pany. At present mining operations here are confined to the Martha mine, where there are several parties of tributers at work, and they are breaking out sufficient stuff to keep 20 head of stampers fully employed in its reduction, with every prospect of remunerative returns.

Owharoa, Saturday,

Greenville and party, owners of the f Me and Rowe " claim, are constructing a tram way to connect their workings with the Smile of Fortune battery, where they pro pose treating a large tonnage of dirt as soon as the connections are completed. In the Smile of Fortune mine, Farmer and party, tributers, have about 30 tons of stuff ready for battery treatment, and they expect it will give them a handsome return.

Waitekauri, Saturday.

An interim clean-up on Thursday last for Birney and party, tributers in the Wel come mine, resulted in a return of 17 ounces retorted gold, being the product of about 20 tons of quartz. This return will pay very well, and the tributers have now gob another parcel under treatment at the Maungakara battery. Active prospecting operations are now progressing in the Jubilee claim, and the owner, Mr E. K. Cooper, intends leaving here for London with a view to floating the whole concern at an early date.

Maritoto, Saturday. Very little of importance has transpired here during the past week, nor indeed are we likely to see much done in the way of development while the boundaries of the different claims marked off remain undefined and there is the shadow of a doubt on the minds of the claimants respecting the security of the title to their respective holdings. The work of surveying the claims in a country so broked in char acter and thick{y covered with heavy timber, as is the case here, must of necessity progress very slowly, and it will take at least three months from date to complete the survey of the claims located along the prospector's lode without touching those that are marked o£ upon either .side of that line. It will thus be seen that there is a great deal of preliminary work to be done efore the actual development of the dif ferent properties can in reality begin, and then, and not till then, can the future of the place be determined. At present there is no work going on in the prospectors mine, and very little but surface fossicking in any of the adjoining claims. A few days since I visited Mclsaacs' claim, which is located on the fall going down to Peel's Creek, and is distant about two miles from and South of the prospectors' claim. Embraced within this area is a well-defined lode, which aver ages seven feet in thickness, and is sup posed to be the southern continuation of, and identical with, that known as the pros pector's. It was disclosed by means of trench ing- on the surface in various places along its course, and at one point a level has been driven along the hanging-wall side for a distance of about 12 feet. Upon this wall there is about 4 feet wide of decomposed quartz which, at first glance, is not unlike that occurring on the corresponding wall of the prospectors' lode, and this tends to strengthen the belief that it is one and the same lode. Here there are none of the cus tomary indications of the presence of silver, nor is there any gold visible in the stone, which, however, yields fair prospects of the last - mentioned metal when sub jected to the mortar process of testing, and the claim owntrs are of opinion that this portion of the lode would pay well for treatment if there was any cheap reducing power available. Wherever this lode has been tested dish prospects of gold ap parently good in quality are obtainable, and as the compounds which go to make up our rebellious ores are conspicuous by their ab sence, I think a fair percentage of the metal occurring in this particular class of Bfcone could be saved by the battery process. In the meantime, the shareholders are en gaged in trenching at stated intervals along the line of the lode, and they expect ere long to drop across a good patch of the precious metal.

The election returns as they come to hand to-night at the Stab Office will be sent in to the Opera House, where the per foraanco of" Guy Mannering " will be tak ing place for Mr and Mrs McGowan's bene fit, and will there be read out from the stage. "Consequently tho public can get theia the latest election news, and at the same time enjoy a good performance, . t'"

He was, however, expecting information from Wellington every moment. Steamers ar riving in this colony from Hobart touch first at the Bluff, so that quarantine in the case of these vessels would be done at that port. Passengers, however, fre quently come from Melbourne via Sydney, and Dr. Lewis takes measures to prevent any communication of the disease by this means.
