Tairua.

(FBOM A. COEHESPONDENT.) IftIVESVILLE, 7 „-, Thursday morning. Tairua Claim. The news from the large reef'is* good. Gold is seen freely from this part of the claim. Considering the width of this lode I should think'this ought to satisfy the croakera respecting the genuineness, bat there is no doubt some influences at work to depreciate the importance of the Tairua as a goldfield. I still maintain what I wrote before—that every day discoveries are being made whieh-go to prove we have a rich and valuable goldfield, and that nothing can prevent a large increase of miners from other 1 pro* vinces and colonies, for the gold,is here. The El Dorado is hard at work.still, cutting "through- the reef where they obtained such excellent prospects. They have commenced swaging the quartz up to the Prospectors'^ Hill, ready for bringing down. I believe a ton for trial is to coma via Paring 1 1 might state that the owner of the BuonMJ^ Ventura takes the quartz down free of^ charge—that is trial crushings. *"'

, Britannia. ; Captain Howe has . been .Appointed Manager, and started work' yesterday. They came across a splendid prospect, supposed to be the same lode as that cut in the Eldorado Company's ground. Pride of the South.

This claim was originally- registered as ten nun's ground. Tho shareholders have pegged out ten acres with the. idea of putting the whole in a lease. „ I might state that they have the" same reefs as the Brothers, being peg and peg. Nothing will be done or shown until the case that has to come off in the Warden's Court is settled. \ ■ • ■ . -

Miscellaneous. Mr Walter Williamson got bashed last night between Rowley's and Smith's, and put in a bad night, not having so much as a coat to cover him. He was on his way to The Brothers. Hound this partof the field "farms" hare been taken up. Such I might call them. These extend to the Prospectors) one mile or more in length. This is being done by the very men that raised a cry against the lease system; so/in.a few v weeks,- tho public will find out that waiting for the r fine weather will be too late. There is no doubt that the auriferous belt extends for some miles.

A few of these gentlemen are in town at the present moment, se you should be cautious before you squander your money. Find some trustworthy person to see the ground and bring down quartz from the reef before you speculate. ' A gentleman recently paid a visit to the Brothers and other claims with the idea of putting up a battery, which could be done with much less expense than on the Tairua side, I fancy. Crushing power would undoubtedly work wonders for that part of the field.
