Money Order and Savings Bank have been opened at Maketn and Kamo. Auckland is the chief office for both places. A meeting of the Goldfields’ Awards Committee of the Grey County Council was held at the offices of the Council, Greymonth, yesterday afternoon. The object of the meeting was to receive from the different applicants the evidence they had to submit, and which would enable the Council to determine under what class of awards the applications would come. Cr. Reid- thought that the first thing that ought to be done was to decide whether the field alleged to have been discovered was a new goldfield at all. He did n °t think so. The Clerk read applications from the following persons for the reward offered by the Council:—T. Burns, May 3rd, 1880; H. R. Weasels, 19th May, 1880 ; David Morgan, August 24th, 1880.
