THE WILBERFORCE REEFS.

(FaoM Our Own Correspondent.) GREY MOUTH, August 23. Some important developments in conneo- " tion with the Wilberforce reefs are expected early this spring, and a North Island syndicate is so satined with the prospecting last autumn that it is understood that an option to purchase one of the claims will be exercised, and the necessary capital provided to develop one, if not two, claims. Some very rich stone has been obtained from the locality, the assaying giving splendid results. DREDGING RETURNS. Oz. dwt. gr.
