This day. Mr Greenshields has a piece of auriferous quarts which was got by Maoris while procuring stone in the neighborhood of Rangitoto, in the King country, for a " Copper Maori." The stone had appar ently been washed down a creek, and gold was plainly visible on the face of the quartz, and appears to be distributed through it when the quartz is looked at with a glass.
A. three-legged pheasant has been pre sented to the Museum.
Two men named Bagley and Haslett were cutting a drain, 6 feet deep at Parnell yesterday, when the sides collapsed, burying both. Bagley is so badly injured that his recovery is considered hopeless.
