THE BROTHERS CLAIM (TAIRUA).
..One of the shareholders in tlie above, says work is proceeding vigorously_in the claim. The drive to intersect all the 5 reefs at about 100 feet from the .surface,,is now in 90, feet; another 50 feet will cut No. 1, which has been opened on the; surface with such excellent; prospects. When No. lis reached, by; driving 160 feet more, the whole of the 5 reefs will be intersected, then we shalU be better able to judge of the "real value"; of thejclnirn. No. 4 has been traced on: the surface for a distance of 60 feet, with 1 capital prospects, and No. 5 has been traced for over 100 feet wi!h;lthe]/fame: good show^in the stone. Sluicing" has been delayed for a few days while a new dam,is being, constructed,'but all will 3 be ready for a fresh start this week. There is any amount of good crushing stuff on hVridv '■"' -A* 'battery is' fmucli; required.: Good sums have lately vbeen offered for: half-shares in the Brothers, bufchave been there being no desire at present to sell. The surrounding claims are in full work with good Jprospects, and new ground is being continually taken up. The jumpers are on the scent here as elsewhere pn.^he.field. .
