The Tairua Stone.
The crushinif of the stuff from the Tairua Company's ground is still proceed-! ing at the Moanatairi battery, and will: not be completed until 6 o'clock this: evening. It appears that the quantity of stone brought down was rather over estimated, being not more than two tons. This may be; accounted fdr'by ther imperfect means employed in; weighing the stuff, namely by stilliafds. However, the dirt is showing up for.-a return nothing short of what might: have been reasonably expected. This afternoon, just prior to going to press, there were 300 ounces of rough; amalgam on hand. A return of .80 ounces of gold is expected from the parcel-of two tons ; and the. two small lots from Nos. 1 and 2 reefs respectively,: will give a good return. ;
