New Zealand, Kapanga.—• In consequence of an accident to the pumping machiney the water had to be dammed b <ek into the crosscut where the Golden 'Point reef was cut, and from which such good prospects were obtained a few days ago. The repairs have been effected and a permanent way is being laid to enable the stuff to be conveyed to the surface direct. About the beginning of the week something should be discovered from this locality. The lowest crosscut is now in about 60 feet. .

Tier Golden Crown. —According to your instructions, I visited the Tiki Golden Crown claim on Friday last, and was much pleased to see the progress that has been made since my last visit. Tour ground consists of a little over live acres, and within a stone's throw of. Blackmore's claim. There are four reefs! already discovered on yourground, all of them being gold-bearing and of good sizfe (nine inches to four feet.) The four reef's mentioned are running parallel,-aud are seventy to oue hundred feet apart. There in also a leader about ..'six

inches thick discovered running at right angles with the above mentioned, i'our manager is engaged putting in a diive on one ot the parallel lodes mentioned. The leader is 18 inches thick, and one ot the best defined leaders

I have seen in the district. Grood pros

pects can be procured from this leader, both by washing the loose quartz and by pounding the stone. I should not be surprised at your getting a fine haul of specimens at any hour, as the character and indications of thp lod« fully warrant. In conclusion, I must say, gentlemen, that you have a valuable piece of ground, it being so situated that you cannot miss Blacktnore's and other well known reefs running through the ground.—Henby C. Nakkejivis.—o. Mail. .
