Reported Find at Te Aroha.
It having been currently reported that a new discoveiy of importance had been made at Te Aroha, and that Hone Werahiko was connnected with it, our reporter, seeing that worthy in town, interviewed him. " Johnny" said that the report was true enough. During the past month ho had been prospecting by himself, and somewhere in the vicinity of Omahu—the locality of Catran Bros.' claim—he found the outcrop of a new reef. Its average breadth is 17 feeVand he has traced it for upwards of a quarter of a mile, finding good gold in it. 1e could see colors in most of the stone he broke and feels convinced that it will astonish the people who have duffered the Te "Aroha. Hone said : •' I have seen Waihe and know what it is. The reef I have found is bettar." He has pegged out the claim, but nothing' more will be known concerning it till he returns from Auckland. We place the greatest reliance on Johnny's veracity and good faith, and give the story as we heard it believing it to be perfectly genuine.
