Thames, this day
New A_r.ri._iA.—Tho prospects of this Company's mine could not be regarded as othenviso than oncourasinir. It is truo that up to tho present the precious metal lias not boen observed in quart;: brokon out from Dixon's reef on the western drivo at the 70fb level, but, for all that, tho lodo is of a most promising appearance, having opened oub to nearly 5 feeb in width, and being composed ot black mineral ore. In tho leading stope over this drive the reef looks really well, and, besides the fact that colours of gold havo been seen pretty well distributed through the quartz, a few pounds of picked stone have also been selected from the general dirt. Tapit.—Mr McMahon has brought up a trial parcel of ore from tho recent new find at Tapu for treatment. The ore is of excellent quality and a handsome yiold is expected.
