O HI INEM URI.

Mackaytown, Friday. No. 1 South in Court. Warden adjourned for an hour or two to allow solicitors to see clients. At noon, Tyler came into Court supported by Brassey, and stated that he was pleased to>state that an arrangement h:*d been come to. Porter's party had i agreed to throw in No 2 South with No 1, which would make 26 mon's ground to be formed into a I joint-stock company. Porter's to have one-half, Catian's, Howard's, and Riodan's, the other half. Protection, nruler the circumstances, would be granted for 14 days for the whole area, but not a moment longer, and this not to be taken by solicitois as a precedent. The stone 40 pounds weight for 5J ounces gold crushed at Grahamstown by Breeches party comes from beyond the boundary of any goldfield and from ptivate land, which may be proclaimed at any moment. It is from a good-sized reef. Application has been made for a prospecting claim of 30 acres, and Mackay is in town trying to arrange this. I know the district and locality, but for obvious reasons i efi uin from giving publicity. One or two friends are on the trump to there, and the earliest mom -lit consistent with the prospectors' interest will make the locality known. A well-known Auckland firm of land brokers, with native agents, aie trying to secure the ground, which belongs to an old Maori chief of the Lower Thames. Th< dust is awful. People have to go about with h.» 'Hlkerchiefs over their faoea. -*'N. Z. Herald."
