TE AROHA GOLDFIELD.
(KROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT,)
TE ARUHA, November 21. A GOOD leader was cut to-day in tho new find, Tho drive was being pushed on to cut tho main road from the eastern Bide at about eighty feet lower level. The prospect 8 looking very well indeed. This discovery has led to tho conclusion that when the lode is cut at tho low lovel it will be very much better and richer than anything yet found iv the claim. The Arizona claim is on tho eastern side of the new find, and has the advantage of being within two chains of the gold, and as thero is a nice terrace run. ning into the new find from the Arizona, this claim will no doubt be second to none on tho field. The Diamond Gully and Coquet claims arc also in a good position. The Coquet has the main load running through it, and a piece of rough stone brought from it and crushed showed a very good prospect. Several nice pieces have been got from the Diamond Gully, showing gold freely. The Comstock, which is at the lower side of the Arizona, cot some atone to-day, better than anything yet seen on tho field. There is no doubt but that some of the claims yet unprospected will bo equal to those mentioned when prospecting has been done.
