KAWARAU GORGE.

(from OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) September 2(), 1873. Continuing my last letter, in which 1 give a resume of mlr claims, I come next to the Surface Point claim, owned by Gorman and party, which is now, as the fall increases, rising the terrace. It is getting into good working order, and has every appearance of proving one of the most permanent claims in the‘district. Nearly opposite, on the riverbank, is a claim owned by Olsen, which I have not Seen, nor know anything about; but have heard that the layer looks welk BeloW this are the Steady old workings of Robertson and Re we, and Mullholland and party, where they are taking out large paddocks in their usual workmanlike manner. This run of ground has long been worked remuneratively, and I hear no complaints of a likelihood of its failing. TroVathan and Chapman washed up a small paddock lately, which 1 hear was payable, with every prospect of doing better* On the West side of the river, there are two claims which we Gorgeites consider as belonging to our district: I suppose from the reason that the mode of working is similar to that practised on this side. One of these is owned by Bell and Thompson, and the other by E. Edwards. They are both working the layers, Which look exceedingly well, and with the flush of water they are now getting, both parties will no doubt get well ahead with their work.
