TE AROHA.
[By Teiegbaph.] (fbom ottb own cobbesbondent.)
Te Aboha, This day,
At the battery, the New Find, Colonist, and Premier have four berdans each going on-tailings. The New Find tailings are shaping about 2ozs per load, and that from the other mines at loz. The New Find has between 200 and 300 tons to put through. The reef was cut in the low level on Monday, and shows gold apparently quite as rich as above. It has been cut into 4 feet, and when the wall is reached the manager will probably call for tenders for driving on it both ways. Two driving contracts have just been let, and the manager of the Premier talks of letting a contract next week.
I believe some of the managers have been canvassing as to the advisability of letting stoping contracts. No secret is made of the fact that managers have found it impossible to get men from the* Thames or elsewhere.
The Waitoa oat crop is estimated to yield 37 bushels per acre.
