THE GOLDFIELDS.
MAY QUEEN. THAMES, this day. The important work of sinking the Thames Hauraki shaft is being continued, and splendid progress is being made. More water is now coming in, but the large Cameron pump now in use easily copes with water. WH-ANGAPE COPPER PROSPECTING SYNDICATE. It has been known for many years that large deposits of copper ore exist in the Whangape district, north of Hokianga, but on account of difficulties of Maori titles, nothing has been done to open up this rich country. Leases lor 90 years have, lately been acquired, and a syndicate is now in course of formation to develop the copper ore discovered on the property, consisting of 1770 acres, to be acquired by the syndicate.
