Mahakipawa Goldfields
I FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Piuton, This Day.
No excitement. There were two small rushes last week : one close to the right hand branch of the Mahakipawa, and the other on Cawte's land round Felorus Sound, about 2 miles from Mahakipawa. No gold was got, they being duffers. There is only one claim working at Cawte's, all the men having left. Meat, 3d per lb ; bread, 8d the 41 b loaf ; potatoes, 14spercwt; sugar, 5d per lb. It costs 14s a week to lire fairly. Belfit has got a promising claim. About 5 men in the 100 are qn payable ground.
