"The piece, of golden stone which was referred to!'in Saturday's' issue was. exhibited on the J3ank of New Zealand counter, and excited a good deal,of attention during the day. The stone isnot very rich after the Moanatairi specimens, but it shows that there is gold where it came from, although as yet no gold is to be seen-in the face. The mine wtfferisited by Messrs T. Russell, W. Howe, and'others on Saturday, afternoon. It is probable that the big battery will start to-morrow, and it is high time it did, as the quartz floor is inconveniently filled.. and the sides of the battery are slightly bulging out with the pressure inside. Wo separate test of the stuff f-':en from the ,
part of the' mine where the gold was obtained will be made, and some days will elapse before any of it is crushed. The small battery is to be sold by auction on Wednesday next.
