(FJBOM OTJE OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Coeomandel, Thursday. Four and a-half tons crushed from Tiernan's claim resulted in a return of 93ozs lOdwts. The crushing from Barrett's gave 33ozs from about 4 tons. . . In Tiernan's claim, in the low level, gold is showing in large quantities all through the stone, and there are better prospects than ever. McLeod's claim is now into a company. A good show of gold was obtained yesterday, and it is likely to be a firstclass mine. , Blackmore's claim got out rich stun. To-day tenders were let for excavating the position for the battery, the hitch

with Mrs Macintosh in reference to fire* wood having been amicably arranged. The Golden Belt.—This company, under the management of Mr Ninnis, is getting out specimens and good crushing quartz from the new leader. The Corby tribute, Melsop and party, started crushing to-day, and a large return is looked for.

Sheehan's Claim.—Splendid geld is. showing in the stone as the winze is carried down. if A meeting of persons interested in lacing took place to-night, when it was resolved to form a Turf Club.

Owing to the Easter holidays, comparatively little work has been done in the mines generally. „. Sir George Grey's advent here is looked forward to with great interest. The lona claim is to be put into a company forthwith. With some Thames men at the head of affairs, it may be said this is a most legitimate speculation.
