Pohangina
! The results of the tests of stone from Pohangina, made under the direction of Messrs Macabthitb and P. Babtholokew, have proved so sat*f.otory that several gentlemen of capital and influence have joined together to form a company to send out a properly equipped party of prospectors. The sum of money subscribed and paid, is more than sufficient to defray all possible expenses of the expedition. An experienced quarts miner will be sent out. Theground from whence thespeoimens already tested have been brought will be thoroughly examined and proved. In this connection we may mention that considerable amusement has been caused by that portion of the report of Mr Jambb Pabk, in whioh he informs the Government "The men on the ground have not even seen a color of gold, and are greatly perplexed at the fabulous results of the assays by jewellers, whioh are probably based on globules of ejlyer derived from the lead oxide used as the agent in the essay, : , / ■'..-.
