OUR GOLDFIELDS
New Moanataiari. —The mine manager reports that some distance back from the present face in the intermediate drive east, 200 feeb level, the lode suddenly turned off to the lefts, or the same course as the Reuben Parr reef on the 100 feet level. There is little change to report at the 100 foot level. The flat lead is much broken up, still gold is continually seen. The vertical lead, though small, shows dabs and colours of gold ab almost every breaking down. The general dirt from the stopes is shaping rather poorly at the battery. The amalgam on hand since clearing up is 183oz.
