Kinvan tile well-known prospector, who paid a visit to the Alexander River returned last evening., They brought som e samples of stone, which are now on view at Mr Lochore’s Palace Restaurant. These are solid quartz and the gold can be seen plainly w-ith the naked eye. on<. of the samples of the quartz was obtained from an outcrop AOOfeet north in No 6 lease of the "Bull” reef, which is in No 1 lease. The official report a» telegraphed to Auckland of the work done at the drive being put in -to intersect the “Bull” reef at a lower level is as follows : —No 1 adit has been driven a distance of 170 feet in good reefing country. Have located a continuation of the “Bull” reef 500 feet north on No 6 lease. Tire ston 0 is of good values. Tn the adit level, the country is underlying very flat to the eastward, that is away from the mouth of the drive consequently a further distance will require to be driven to intersect [ the reef than was at first estimated, j „ The indications are, however, very fa- II vourablo and the miners are very con- ' [ident of locating it at no distant date. 1
