(Times' Correspondent.) Hatelock, October 13. Hippolite bottomed in the main creek on Tuesday last. A slight rush has set in on the east side of the Mahakipawa in a small creek on Mr Cawto's property.
A party have left to prospect four miles above the Forks at Wakamarina. and intend giving it a three months' trial.
Homann and party washsd out of one dish I2oz of gold on Friday.
A reef has been struck, 7ft thick, in the Waikakaho claim. Nearly LIOO worth of gold has been sold quietly to-day. lam not at liberty to mention names, but I hare just seen oome specimens from the Waikakaho claim in which gold is plainly visible to the naked eye.
Contradictory reports are in circulation, but I believe I am correct in saying that Homann and party of four have got about 460z this week. October 15. The Golden Bar reefs look very good. Gold is visible in all the samples,
About £300 worth of gold was sold in Havelock on Saturday. A large quantity was disposed of elsewhere, of which no record can be given.
The total of Homann and party's (four) find last week was 530z lldwt, Jooes, late of Onamalutu, got 21bs weight last week. Several finds are not recorded.
