MIE following correspondence is published for general information. Daniel Pollen, Deputy of the Superintendent. Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland, 16th August, 1862. Sin, —I have the honor to forward for your Honor's information the enclosed copy of a letter addressed by Mr. S. Percy Smith, Surveyor attached to the Native Land Purchase Department, to the Chief Commissioner, reporting the discovery of a Quartz Reef at Coromandel. I have, &c., (Signed) G. Eliott Eliott, For the Colonial Secretary. His Honor the Superintendent, Auckland. Auckland, August 13th, 1862. Sir, —I have the honor to inform you that, during the perambulation of the external boundaries of Paul's land, Coromandel, on the 9th of July, I discovered a quartz reef of considerable extent situated about half-a-mile up the Hakaroa Stream, a branch of the Whangarahi, on Ring's Creek, and distant from Ring's mill about two miles. I estimate the reef to be about 220 yards wide and 200 feet thick. These dimensions I was enabled to arrive at by the fact of the stream running diagonally through the reef and exposing to view the solid quartz rock. A small speck of gold was picked up by one of my men just below the reef, in the bed of the Stream; but I was unable to make a more thorough examination from the nature of the work upon which I was engaged, and also from the want of the necessary implements. I have, &c, (Signed) S. Percy Smith. The Chief Commissioner for the Purchase of Native Lands, Auckland.
