Coromandal Mining News.

(FBOM OUB OWN COBBISFOKniirT,) . . .December 14, Tiki.—Another-vrioh lode mi eat on the surface yesterday by Blaokmore'a party, and about forty pounds of speei* sent and picked stone obtained, tail claim is supposed to be the best on the field. Vizabo's Claim.—This mine hat tent forth first-class stone and specimens for some time past, and it'is ooßJectored that it will go from 10 to }2ozs per ton. McDonnell's Claim/—An immense amount of work has been- done in this mine since it was first opened, and specimens and good crashing staff obtained from the variour levels. This party .with commendable foresight, hare been pushing in level after level, awaiting the completion of the road and a battery being constructed. . I will hardly say that with the prospects in the various mraes, and the road completed, everything will go en swimmingly. Major Green, Mr George MoLeod and others have taken up claims, and most of them are getting a little gold. Just in Time Claim started orashing to-day upon a parcel to 10 tons, from which ICOozs are expected, being at the rate of lOozs per ton. . , Gbeat Nobthbbn—This mine it about being put into a company by the proprietor, Mr A. 8. Ford, with the.view to work the rich lodes on the surface at a low level. ~' . .-- In a letter from your Auckland earns- . pondent I observe " that the Htigfctfaa V between some of the Tiki claim Tiiililen iwi has been amicably settled." I regret to -■' «that this is not the case, and that the trict is suffering severely owing to work being suspended in oonseqtene* of no settlement being arrived at. Several of the parties are now in AueUia* tiryiig to make arrangements.' The clam which? has given rise to all thit bother « too I forgot to mention, viz;* Tienstan's. It would appear that TiernMv3otajned 8011 of gold from 91b» of ston/ taken from • strong leader, and the cupidity of nig neighbors was aroused, and he. wai at once surrounded by claims on all iideg, and a portion of his mine encroached upon; hence the trouble. ;. ■■ ; •; -;
