GOOD GOLD STRUCK. TiTBRK is a splendid show of gold in Molntyro and Frater's claim, next tho Prospectors. A reef shewing gold has been discovered on the North-West side of the mountain. THE DISPUTED CASES. The disputed cases are settled. Mclntyre and disputants form one company. Gribble and party have conceded a small portion of their area.
The Thames " Advertiser's" correspoudent writes :—" Discoveries of gold two miles on each side of the township have been made during the past day or two, and as the prospectors are men on whose words reliance can be placed, there is a probability that claims equally as good as those behind Morgantown are likely soon to be taken up at a considerable distance from the locality which is now engaging the attention of gold diggers'. Fine gold is reported to have been discovered in the neighbourhood of the Mangaiti, Waitoki, and Wairakau creeks, Eighty business licenses have been issued up to date, and every site in the township has been applied for. A survey of another block towards JRuakaka has been ordered, and in a week or thereabouts there will be plenty of sections for selection. The number of miners' rights issued up to the present are 506. A license to cut timber has been taken out by Mr W. B. Moore.—l have just heard that the cap of a reef has been uncovered in a claim in which Mr H. K. Jones is interested. The stone is said to be first-classf or carrying gold.
