THE THAMES. ARRIVAL OF EIGHTY OUNCES GOLD.
The s.s. ' Midge ' and ' Tauranga arrived from the Thames last night. A passenger by the former was the bearer of 80 ounces of gold from the Eureka reef, crushed from lcwt. of stone at the small Berdan machine erected at Barry's reef. The claim is of recent discovery, and promises to be of unequalled richness, if we may judge from the quantity of gold obtained from so small a parcel of quartz. The claim is the property of Messrs. Goldsworthy, Grattan, and others, and situated in close proximity to Barry's reef. The ' Emma,' with Mr. Commissioner Mackay, and party of prospectors, had not returned from Manaia when the steamers left, but was expected to-day, in time for the meeting of diggers to be held on the beach this.afternoon, for consideration of matters of importance in connection with the mining interests of the place.
