WAITEKAURI.
The mining interest in this district is looking well. Butler, Goonan, and party for the last four days have been getting better stone than ever, and by end of the present month will be able to send down as large a parcel of gold as their last There is some talk of something good being found in the Bonanza, and in the Perseverance a large parcel of stone is ready for crushing, waiting the pleasure of the contractor to finish the tramway, hut, according to present appearance, it will take sereral years to complete.
There ia an opening here for another battery : if the owners of the Waitekauri battery and those interested cannot find tiaae to have the nioney spent in this direction, perhaps others can. Several of the claims lately pegged out are at work, but I am iocliued to think that the Grahamstown Corner has too much interest in this district at present to attend much money in tryiug the ground. Moore, Hightman and party are working away. JKiley and his mates are doing good work in their lease, and have found some good loose stone. Mr A. S. Shepperd has bought Mr James Corbett out of the hotel and store, and travellers will now find good accommodation, for man and beast at low rates.
