TAIRUA GOLDEN HILLS. The directors of the Tairua Golden Hills Gold Mining Company are having a sketch-plan and estimate prepared of a battery plant which it is contemplated erecting on their property. The mine is reported to he opening up well, and there are between 600 and 700 tons of ore on hand ready for treatment, from which satisfactory assay values have been obtained. No. 1 reef, which is being worked at two levels, the upper one being 200 ft below the surface, and the lower one 400 ft, has proved of even better grade in the latter level than ill the former. The 200 ft level is expected to shortly intersect No. 2 reef, on WhL'h. owing to it being further in the. hill, there will be about 400 ft of backs from this level. R Woodliniiso and Co. inform u> tli"y received the following wive hist night from a well-known mining expert who had just returned from the above miu.': -Mine looking excedingly well; there 1' "rent improvement in low level."
