TE AROHA.

Some of the claims I have mentioned in former lexers as very likely to come forward in the real test, to the best places in the competion, are quite keeping up their good reputation, and are being more highly spoken of on good solid grounds, as they are being farther worked. The Napier, for instance, is showing even better prospects than those 1 hare mentioned, and the neighboring claim, the Moonlight, or the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, as it is now to be named, is almost equally promising, while the

prospects washed from ibV^wk show that the great 18 feet reef of the JN apier, from which gold has been washed ■ w every part, is not a delusion, and tnai me whole country is rich. . _ The Waikato claim, on which work nas been suspended for some six or eight weeks during the arrangement of some obiections to pay »P requisite calls, will now proceed with their work at once,, nel legal manager having been appointed. The Waikato is a claim on which a large j,ne u»«»■" . , keen done, 140 feet being ready for crushing, and abou .llewt., fairly and thoroughly tea ted having yielded lldwts of gold, or «Q average of 18dwts to tbe tou n . , The All Nations, not.at all discouraged by tho results of its first trial, is work'D« hard to send down some of & much mjre promising lender-of black antimony, tuat ft unfortunately passed over m otderto give the first trial to the grey stone that turned out unprofitable. ;J?he second trial will, it is fully expected, quite make up for the short returns of the nrst. There is a vague rumour stirring that a eang of prospectors, came in yesterday with news of a fresh reef, not so very far from the field, that is a fresh discoW and will create a fresh rush here at once. —W.
