MINING INTELLIGENCE.
Tuapeka.— Captain Henderson’s application for his pre-emptive right of GlO acres on Ovens Hill Station was objected to hy the Teviot Progress Committee, and by Early and Co., Miller’s Flat, and adjourned for three weeks to allow the Warden to visit the ground. If the land applied for is granted, five miles of auriferous banks of the Molyncux will be closed to the miner, as it will be impossible to bring water on them. There is a good deal of excitement meiit in the Teviot district about the matter. Mining matters at Mount Bengcr are reported to be cpiiet. The river is lower than it was last winter, and is still falling. Odd Chinamen are making their appearance on the beaches. A company has been formed to prospect for a quartz reef at the Black Hill, near the foot of Monro’s Gully, where several excellent specimens have been unearthed, and promising indications of the presence of a reef are visible. Operations are to be commenced immediately.
