TE AROHA.

A new discovery, of very considerable importance, was met with about the middle of last week in the Warahiko No 2 claim, consisting of a reef about 4 feet wide, which, when broken into, disclosed to view quartz well impregnated with the prtcious metal. Already the reef has been traced, on the surface, tor over 150 feet, and as far as can be traced at present its course will beN.E. and S.W. The unoccupied ground east of the Werakiko Nos 1 and 2 was immediately taken up, and some of it stands well for containing a portion of the newly discovered lode.

The Hero.—A small parcel of stone containing nice splals of gold came to hand from this mine last week, and all the local shareholders anticipate great things in future. The lode is of immense size, and can be seen out-cropping for several chains in

length. English Army,—Under the supervision of Mr C. Wilson. Many large reefs are known to traverse this property, which is extensive, consisting of seven five-acre leases, but the extremely rugged nature of the country, combined with the enormous quantity of alluvial deposits, renders prospecting work. These deposits contain auriferous quartz boulder's, and also loose gold, which point conclusively to a source which must eventually come to light, and prove this to be a valuable gold mining property. ■ Abizona.—The shaft has now been "sunk to a depth of 30 feet, and at the bottom of the reef, wMch is from IS inches to 2 feet'wide, looks indeed most promising. The quartz is of a kindly and mellow appeata'nee, and occasionally gold is seen in the stone. I think ere long you will hear of good gold from this ' claim.'

New Find.—Still driving in a northerly, course on the eastern portion, or hangingwall aide of the main lode. Very frequently gold has been seen Kvhen breaking down the reef. ' >-"

Diamond GupiiY.-P-The ' shareholders are now driving a crosscut to intersect the rich vein of stone formerly discovered on the surface. Some time may probably elapse before 1 it is met with,' as the ground is

very tight. The Eureka.—The lucky shareholders of this little claim are still sinking, and evidently the deeper, they sink the better the gold. The reef is a Avell-defined body of-stone, measuring 4 feet in width, and. can be traced almost the entire length of the ground. A'trial crushing of a few n ions taken from the, shaft is contetn- ', plated.— [Correspondent.]'',
