TAIRUA.
This day, the first legitimate return from the Tairua Goldfield has been banked by Mr Beeche, the manager qf the Br-os-pectbrs, or Tairua Goldmining Company. The results must speak for themselves, and be regarded as a first instalment only. The difficulties attendant upon the enterprise, and the labor and cost of erecting a small battery have been great, but now overcome for the most part, and will doubtless lead to similar enterprises on the Tairua Goldfield, as well as to warrant the Tairua Company shortly to augment their crushing power; their caution having now been rewarded by proof that the general stuff is equal to 5 ounces to the ton. The battery has been working one week with 4 head stampers, 20 tons stone reduced for the produce of 106| ounces gold.
