(FROM OCR OWX CORRESPONDENT.)

Maritoxo, Saturday.

There is a very good show of gold and silver bearing ore in the Prospectors' mine, where the work of driving northwards on the course of the lode is now in progress, and, so far as present, developments have gone, there is every prospect of a continuance of the hietaliferouS Fatten and party," who own a claini which is located south of Mclsaacs's claim and uponthe same lino of unearthed some Very giriod stoiie during the week, and they ate no\v so well satisfied as to the value of their ground that they have made up their minds to go in for inpre extensive operations. Burns and party, who own the adjoining claim, have met with such very encouraging pros pects upon the surface that they are now about to drive ».level so as to cut at a depthof fully 100 feet beneath theirpresent workings, and they «sp|ct thejir efforts wiil ba crbwiiM wfttt ■' Prdstpecting is being carrie 4on ins other claims, but so far nothing of importance has been discovered.

HIGHLAND ENTERTAINMENT.

T W j£ a large the City Hall on the occasion of the Highland «ntej

scene representing a gathering of the clans. About 40 persons were, arranged in a pic turesque group on the stage, ajid many of them being in Highland costume, the effect was pleasing in' the extreme. Four " ancient '■■ couples' then cameio the front and danced ■ the Highland reel, and the, j programme of the evening was then' proceeded with. The musical and literary items compVised -: "•— Recitation, " Mary, Queen of Scots," by Miss M. A. Moncur; songs by Mrs Wright, Misses Reid and Vardington and ilessrs Tapper, Armstrong, Carter aud Holthain, and pianoforte selec tions (Scotch airs) by Miss Goldie.' Most of the vocalists were encored and kindly re sponded to recalls. In the course of the the evening Mr Munro performed a number of dances in character amid the plaudits of the audience—an Irish reel with Miss Shaw as hia ■ partner being loudly encored! Twelve of Mr. Munro's adult pupils, and afterwards six of the juvenile class (girls) danced the Highland Fling in concert, while little Miss Johnston and Master Tom Moncur gave seperate per formances of the same dance singly. Sixteen ladies and gentlemen (pupils of Mr Munro) performed the Reel of Tul loch in grand style, and big boot and other dances were neatly performed. The competition for Mr Munro's medal for dancing the Highland Fling by his adult pupils brought four contestants on the scene, viz. Messrs J. Henry, J. Simpson, VV. Henry, and A. Karaitiana. All danced very well, but the dancing of Karaitiana (a young Maori chief) was adjudged the best, the award giving great satisfaction to the audience. The competitors all appeared in full Highland costume, and that of Karaitiana was much admired, while his splendid physique was shown to advantage by the picturesque dress. The competition for the shoulder brooch offered'to little girls attending Mr Munro's classes, resulted in Miss Mary Johnson being awarded the prize. This little mite danced the Highland Fling in excellent style, as did also the three other competitors. The judges were Messrs J. Stewart, J. Fotheringham, and J. Edwards. The entertainment which was as pleasant as it was unique, closed by the singing of '" Auld Lang Syne," by the Company. ■
