THE TE AROHA GOLDFIELD.
INDIGNANT MINERS. [By Telegraph.] Grahamstox, Oct. 27. Warder Kenrick returned last evening from Te Aroha. He says tiic opinion is that gold-bearing stone will bo discovered, but there is nothing as yet to justify a rush. The stone brought down will be tested. To-day new miners’ rights will be issued, previous to the declaration of the opening of the held, the date of which will be notified. At a meeting cf miners the following resolutions were carried ; —l. T 1 mt the warden be requested to protect the men’s ground for fourteen days, to allow the Native prospector to lind the lode.” 2. “ That nothing save a payable reef found would warrant the warden in granting a prospecting claim.” 3. “ That the warden be requested to proclaim the district a goldfield, as the loose specimens found are sufficient to lead to the belief that there are reefs in the neighborhood.” The correspondent of the “Advertiser” was threatened lynchingfor the statement that a reef was found showing stone yielding 200ozs. to the ton.
