IMPORTANT MINERAL DISCOVERY.
Considerable excitement exists regarding an important discovery of ore at Langdon's, about nine miles from Greyinoubh. Several leases have been applied for. The d'scoreiy was made some months ago, but the value was not known till Dr. Hectors analysis of the ore was received, whioh is as follows : — " July 11 : Ore received per Captain Palmer is antimony su phate, with 14 ozs. gold and 36 ozs. silver per ton. Send larger sample for verification, as it is very valuable ore if it maintains this quality, — worth say £350 per ton. August 12 : The last samples of antimony ore has 81ozs. gold per ton, which is chiefly m the quartz. Part of t c second sample is quite equal to the first. — J. Hector." CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday.
