OHINEMURI.
(fbom a cobrespondent.)
Mackaytown, March 29.
The inquest on the body of William Booker was held to-day before J. E. Macdonald, Esq., and a jury. After hearing the evidence of the parties who found the body, the jury returned a verdict of "found drowned."
The Banyan people have sent some stone to Grahamstown, of which perhaps you have heard before this. A miner exhibited about a quarter of ati ounce of splendid gold from a reef's feet wide. He has left; to bring his mates up. Gold is being got at Waitekauri. The road will be finished in a week. It is being carried out under the charge of Mr McCarthy, surveyor. Another outcrop of coal has been found. The Maories next to the Prospectors have struck gold. Mr Mackay is expected-back from Waikato to-day. Nolan's party are believed to have the Banyan reef, as they are on gold. It is, believed that the Prospectors' reef is the best defined ever found in tho Auckland Goldfields. It has been traced a long distance—some say for six miles.
