STEVENS' CLAIM (TAPU).
| mmy last report I stated that.the shareholders were to orush this week. Since then I have received information from a reliable source that thermit through,a trial lot of three or four Ton on Monday last at Stevens' own battery, and the result was fully five ounces of sold per ton; They will hot bring the gold down until they have another crashing. I he lode is now looking much better than at first, and as the shareholders have 260 feet on the line oL*wft they* have got a nice little thing*-* Splendid prospects can be washed on the surface below the outcrop of the reef. Neeves, the Tairua prospector, thinks highly of the show, and has taken up a. piece of ground to the south of Stevens'. Claim. The same informant tells me that Hawkes a/.id party'■ puddling machine is working on stuff from a slip, and are getting some nice gold, and are confident of meeting with something better when they get into the solid. - ■■■■'
