Hall and mates, of a defined lode, four to five feet in thickness, which it is thought will run about 4 oz. to the ton. The reef is between Twelve-mile Creek and Rogers Gully. The specimens are exceeding rich in gold. The party have applied for a prospectors’ claim. Timber can be got from the Matatapu. Very little can be done until next spring, as the season is too far advanced. The stone resembles that of the Nugget Beef at .Skippers, of which Mr, Hall was tile discoverer.
