THE NEW GOLDFIELD.

Last night’s Oamaru Mail contained the following For soma time there hiv i been current statements that gold hsd been f. .mil in the gullirs roar Hampdet . fant until lately n thing of a definite character could ■ e gathered on the matter.

though u raa we’-knowu that prospecting w,a beln j car.nd on in the neighborhood O Hampden We h ive now learned from a tolerably teliabe source that gold hss been found in payable quantities but that the extent of tho al uvial country is limited, though it is staged that if thu auriferous country wore thrown open a goodly number of men could make from 10a to 12a a day for some time to come. As, however, the land upon wh ch the gold

has been found -is private property, the full extent of gold-bearing country cannot be ascertained The land where tho gold has been discovered is on the run of Mr K tohener, and ites a short distance to tho S.W. or VV.S.W. of Hampden. Borne little time since a mootin' was held at Hampden in connection wi'h the matter, and a Committee was elected to take steps to get tho ground in question declared a goldfield ; but they do not seem to have taken any active step up to the present, and are waiting, we believe, to see whether the proposed new Mining Act will facilitate matters.
