RE OHINEMURI PROSPECTORS' CLIAM JUMPED.
OHINEMUEI
Charles Mclean and Finlay McLiver have jumped two interests in the Prospectors' Claim. Plaints have been laid against Philip Hales and James Verral for non-working. The case will be heard on Wednesday. Also three in the Totara claim, one in the Home Rule, and five in the Just-in-Time. The All Nations Amalgamated have lodged an objection against the Prospectors' application for permission to tunnel and construct a tramway. A dispute between the Mazeppa and Totara claims and other legal cases are looming in the distance. The All Nations (No. 1 North) struck the Prospectors' No. 2 reef on Saturday night in the low level at 212 feet from the mouth of the drive It averages about 2ft. 6in. thick making larger in the bottom and is a well defined lode. Quartz similar to that in the Prospectors' ground. A small piece of stone crushed panned off a little fine gold. At a meeting of prospectors to consider the question of purchasing a battery, it was resolved not to form a company. From Waitekuri I hear that the sluicing parties are still doing well. The shareholders in the Goldsa Point (next but one to the Dan Leahy) intend to forward stone to the Thames for a trial crushing.
