He reports the field sufficient to give six shillings a day for a few hundred men. He starts again directly for a month's tour. The gold is found in creeks, but there is no quartz. The neighborhood has been so often prospected, that the public is sceptical of there being a payable field. Wednesday, Dec. 11. Dr. Hector has returned from his geological trip up the East Coast, across the Taupo district, and down the West Coast through the King boundaries.
