TE AROHA.
[Fsb Pigeon Expbbss.]
[The following message arrivfd last evening, but too late for publication:—]
I am very pleased to be able to send you news at last that will be of interest to your readers. On Thunday, Hone and McLean and a Coromandel prospector struck rich gold in the prospector's leader at a point about 8 feet to the south of the place from where the trial crushing was taken. I have visited the place and seen the stone. The leader is about six inches in thickness, and carries
good gold in the casing and likewise in fche small quartz threads feeding the hanging and footwalls. The stone is not what might be called specimens, but is very fair picked stone. Of course it is very possible that this is only a surface ". blow," but still this is gratifying as the first gold found in a lode in the Te Aroha. There is great excitement up here in consequence, and I expect when it gets wind our population will be increased considerably.
