PROMISING GOLD DISCOVERY

Til oiin, June 6. A nisi'ovuvs of gold isiepoi fed up ttunhe.im Cieek, Taraiu, which ma\ lead to tin the 1 de\elopments. Mr Thomson, <if Auckland, who ha> been pH)-pc< ting about the iange&in the neighbomhood ioi the last few months, a tew day.s agocanu acinus a which had occurred on the lanue between the Sunbeam and Wateifall Cieek^, and o;. c\ araming the ground found it to be Uiiokl> interlaced with .small uon -tone\eins, while the formation in which tlu-\ existed was ot an excellent class of r>and~tone. in the Hist piece ot scone he picked up gold wa y plainly visible to the naked eye, and in nc\ oral other pieces there was gold in moie or Ic-s quantities. On g'oiii^ 1 to the top of the blip Mr Thomson found the oufcciop o^ a reot, which was seen bending in this diiection ower down the lidge of the spur ; but at this particular spot, in a space twentyfive "to thirty feet in width, it had evidently split up into a series of veins. Thinking the iind was of sufficient importance, Mr Thomson at once peggei ofl bh menV ground, since which three other parties ha\ c also pegged o/I claims adjacent. This find may prove of great importance, for though a good deal of wuik was done in the old Sunbeam ground lower down the creek, bub very little has e\er been done up at the site of the present discovery, while the reef itself has never been worked upon so far as is p known.
