THE WAIKAKAHO GOLDFIELD.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.] BLENHEIM, October 5. A miner who has been on the Waikakaho field since the first of the rush informs the MarJborough Times that at one time there must have been 700 men on the ground and that now there are only 200» and most of these are leaving fast. Four or five new men arrive on the field in a day and forty or fifty go away. The deepest shaft on the field is down 26ft, but the workers have had to stop on account of the water until they get pumps fixed. Several parties are deepening their tail races, determined to bottom if possible, while others are leaving their claims in disgust. .
