Cabbage Bay, (says the Auckland Star) long noted for the rich specimens and loose gold that have been from time to time discovered in its creeks, is at last, we are glad to learn, about to receive a more practical trial than creek-fossicking; as a company has been successfully floated for the purpose of working several promising reefs lately discovered in the above district.* Tbe last reef found shewed gold freely, both in the stone and dish, directly it was cut, and should turn out well. Mr Featon, formerly agent for the Cure, Central Italy, and other well-known mines, has been appointed secretary to the company, who intend to start operations directly after the holidays. Several Thames miners, who have just returned from a visit to the mines, speak highly of its prospects, and have taken large in> terests in the company.
