(FROM A COBBESPOI.JENT.)
This day.
Mining matters in this part, of the Hauraki Goldfield'are at a very low ebb just now. In the vicinity of the Phoenix Company's mine there are only four men working, and that on their own hook. They are prospecting, and barely making tucker, if that. One party of two men are doing some alluvial sinking not far from the Brothers Creek. They have sunk through a layer of wash dirt, and are now going through a deposit of black
clay, full of raundic. This party have great,faith in the district, and hope to be the meanß of proving it to be a payable goldfielci.. Another of the men is creek washing, with only moderate results. At the- Aluia tho tribute™ are not crushing jus-i now* all hands being engaged jputting in a low level drive.
