COROMANDEL GOLD.
Yesterday we saw two ingots, weighing 380 ounces, the produce of three weeks' working at the Kapanga mine. They were brought to town by the cutter * Petrel,' and are the first-fruits after a considerable period spent in prosecuting other works, consequent on the purchase of the Coromandel Company's claim. The manager reports that during the past fortnight he has been getting patches of gold in the stopes, that there is more in sight, and that he haß no doubt that more of it will be found in patches as they go through the block. The tunnel through the hill, to divert the creek, is now all but finished, and the netr workings in the Coromandel claim are being vigorously carried out. Mr. Reeves also sends up a very beautiful specimen of auriferous metallic arsenic, which was taken from the mine. It is satisfactory, now that the Provincial Government offers a reward of £5,000 for discovering a goldfield, to find that Coromandel pays for working. The Kapanga Company employs about forty-five men regularly. The gold will be on view at Mr, E. Home's shop, Queen-street, for a few days.
