Golden Hill (Te Aroha).— This company has just concluded a trial crushing of one ton, for the yield of eleven ounces of melted gold, and has squared off all its debts. The quantity crushed was small, compared to what quartz is in the paddock, and with the prospects ahead, the men working there are confident that something far superior will be disclosed. [From our owm ConniwrewnswT.] Thames, Saturday. New Prince Imperial.—Two cwt. of specimens were obtained west of the break, and as there is still a show in the stopes, other hauls may ba looked for.
