HOKITIKA.
This day.
The following particulars, supplied by private letter, reached here to-day from Okarito:—Tke ,Okarito rush is likely to be all right. Two young fellows named Mears and Fleming struck good gold last Friday-on the low 'terrace, running as straight as an arrow for about five miles alongside' the Forks Kiver, where the road crosses the river. There are four parties on payable gold and about four miles up the creek is where Cunningham and party are working. "Chicken's" party have got gold atermediate between Cunningham's ar.d the road which proves that the gold has been traced for fully three miles. There is room for maoy hundreds of miners. A steady rush is setting in and miners are arriving daily overland. Those on the ground seem satisfied with the appearance of the country.
