«. Mini.no.— The new find at the headquarters of the Komata is creating a good deal of interest in local mining circles. About uine claims have been pegged off, and other proapectorß are in the field. In tho original clai-n there is an excellent show, the reef being about six feet wide and carrying gold, which Irom pan tests would appear to run about two ounces to the ton. It is too soon to offer an opinion on the prospects of the new find, but I should say it should turn out fairly well when properly opened up. It is about seven miles from Pueroa, and midw.iy between Harototo and Waitekauri.—At M'Kototo work is entirely suspended.—Waitekauri is doing well, Mr E. K. Cooper being on slashing stone. Mr Russell is also get ting fair grade ore.—At Waihi, Mr Napier, late of Waiorongomai, has full charge of the battery works. The new 30-stamp battery is nearly completed, and it will be under weigh in a week or so.—Mncltay pans aro to be added to tha Silverton Battery, and a start made to crush the tributers' ore as soon as possible.—Poor unfortunate Karangahake Buffered another mishap las , ; week, the Caasoll Company's big dam being carried away. This stops all work iu the machinery department, although the mine will still continue to work full-handed. The Government have declined to assist in the matter of the road, and it is fjuite likely that the Crown Company will construct it themselves. They have already contributed £500 towards the work. Band Instkcmenth. — The new band instruments have arrived, having been purchased from Messrs Eady and Co., Auckland.
