OWHAROA.

The battery is still idle owing to the short supply of water. 'J he Smile of Fortune tri outers crushed some fifteen tons a short time since from the Waterfall leyel, which went oyer an ounce to the ton, they have out 50 tons of the same kind of 'stoneV ' ; The Lucky Hit have out a large lot of ■tone, which prospects well, and are waiting for rater to get a return, which they deserve ; for the amount of work they hare done would have deterred many others. The Golden Hill tributers are getting out payable stone equal to thelast. The different parties of tributers in the Badical are all on payable stone, and are anxiously looking, out for.rain. A rush to the Karangahake took place a few nights since. Young Daldy MeWilliams, who had been prospecting in - that district, found a fine leader, out of which he got.goo 4 prospects; but the position of the leader makes it difficult of access, and is not considered of much ralue by some "of those that have paid it aTisit. There can be no doubt but that payable gold will be found there some day. - The Ohinemuri Prospecting Associatidn's men are stilt out, and hare been trenching and driving, but up to the present nothing payable has been found. They haye shitted camp to another pertion of the district. I think the imning prospects of ■ the district may be considered better than at any time since the opening of this field for the miners.
