Goldfield m the Waikato.
I" (UNITED PRESS . ASSOCIATION".) ; Hamilton, Tuesday. . The quartz found by Mr Brunskill at Maungawaka is reported to be of excellent quality. Mr Adams, manager of the _ Waiorongomai battery, .pronounces it equal to anything on Te Aroha field. It is hoped that steps will be taken to test the true value of the .stone, as the open- ' ing of; ai gold-field near Cambridge just nowi vrould be a grand thing. The Maoris also.repart quartz boulders m the creeks it Maungatautari, m which mundici miba, and .pyrites iire freely seen. It is quite possible that private prospecting parties wUii he-formed to examine as well as other local localities not as yet indicated. • . :
