Owharoa and Waihi.
(FBOM A COEEBSPONDBNT.; At present everything, is quiet. The Smile of Fortune battery has been work* ing 12 hours daily for. the last week on the company's quartz. Any amount of quartz to hand. The tributers, Syms and party and Campbell and party, are getting ready for another crushing. Eeid and party, tributers in the Radical, are also taking out some quartz, they are getting on very well with their lower level. I believe the Battalion expects to crush again by the end of next week; ■■»• The roads have improved wonderfully during the last spell of fine weather, there are only a few bad places in the road where the sun cannot get at it. We have had a good fall of rain last night which caused a slight.fresh in the river.. ■•'■ Mr Hosie, of Owhafba, speaks of float- ; ing a large company ; he is going to amalgamate, half-a-dozen claims into one. I paid a visit to Waihi yesterday, it looks quitedeserted, not a soul to be seen j except the Dulcibel men. They are working a,way making a fresh paddock for more quartz. At.present they have about' 200 tons to' grass. The Waihi and Martha^claims, are,shut up.
