OHINEMURI GOLD.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sir,—l, as one of Mr James Macky's party of prospectors, am n»t a little surprised at the article appearing in your issue of the 13th. especially that; part in which you say " the sample is pronounced not to be alluvial gold proper,but -gold which has been only partially separated from its matrix." In order to discover to what cau^e (or; causes) gold fbundiih' alluvial deposits owes its origin I beg through you to ask those gentlemen, who strut about the Exchange Corner seeking whom they may ■ the following
questions:— . v ■ Ist. What is an alluvial deposit ? 2nd; H6w i» it that gold is found in alluyiai deposits, it not being alluvial ? 3rd.; What is alluvial gold P r Answers to the above from those men (scientific, I presume) who have been so free iii expressing opinions on the sample brought in will enlighten the general public, and myself in particular.—l am, &c, „ TT <■■■■■' ••; : Scott Htjnteb. Shortland, January 14,1875.
