NELSON.
The Colonist has some rather exciting news regarding the Whakamarina goldfields, where deep sinking and tunnelling have been tried. Mr. Antilla, of the Union Bank, has received a letter from his representative at Deep Creek, which states that in three days a party of three or four men made £180 a piece, and they speak confidently of hundred weights of gold being taken out of fckeir claim .' The letter then mentions that a party had taken out forty or fifty pounds weight on Deep Creek ; and on Whakamariua another party took fourteen pounds weight in one day.
