The Company alao obtained 3310z& of gold from a parcel of specimenc • Moanataiabi. — The manager reports there are still two men prospectiug around the old workings on No. 9 reef, underneath the point where the big patch was got. A good class of country is still being penetrated on Jones' load in the eastern drive ab the 100 foot level. The lode is composed of nice, kindly-looking quartz, which shows good etrong colours of gold each breaking down. There are two stopes in hand here, but the quartz coming to hand from both ia of very low grade.
