Tokatea.—On Saturday afternoon one hundred and twenty pounds of picked stone were got in breaking down in the,, face in the low level about 20 feet past '■ the rise. The reef is strong, and looks well for more. The gold in the stone go|^ : on Saturday is of the same coarse charac-^ ter as was got when the crosscut waa^ carried in below. BisMABCK;—The ttibuters. have got
about 3001b» of stone in the strong box, 7 having saved any one in which colors are * visible, intending to treat the whole in a single stamper. A few pounds are rery _____ rich and probably a hundred pounds ""~ would crush as picked stone. This gold . is coming fi-cm the winze within 50ft of; the Tokatea boundary. Kapanga.—The contractors, cutting =
from the low level, cut Scotty's reef on Saturday, running strong in splendid ' country. All. doubts as to the perqur nency of this reef are now settled.
. Mining matters throughout the field look prosperous. A number of miners .•have returned from Te Aroha and other places There is still an unsatisfied demand for men.—Star.
