ANATORI REEFS.
To the Editor of the Nelson Eyejtikg Mail. Sin,—Will you obligo by publishing this letter ? The Anatori reefs are at present a matter of great criticism amongst a number, of persons who have never visited them to ascertain what they are. Of course they are better informed thnn persons that visit them daily. I have followed the diggings for the last ten years, but never in the course of my travels have I seen stone nearly equal to that which is getting in the Aufifori reefs. I have seen as much as a half-ounce of gold'washed out of a dish of quartz, and that without crushing the quartz, from the prospector's claim. In fact, it does not matter- what part of the claim is tried,' there is an exceedingly good prospect to begot. Iv No. 1 North, good stone has been struck in several paits of the claim. Friday Creek, where the reefs are fouud, is quite accessible to machinery, which can be taken by boat up the Anatori river to within two miles of where it will be erected; those two miles can be easily made 1 accessible to horses, and there is a plentiful supply of water to be obtained from the Sand. Hill river at v small expense. Your'e, &c, H. F. W.
