THB GOLD EN CROWN .

The quantity of stuff crushed for the Golden Crown Claim at Goodall's machine during the past week was 61 ton«, which yielded 703 >z. 5dwt. of retorted gold, or at the late of 1 loz 10 1 wt. and nearly 12gr. to the ton. 'Jim yield c^rtain'y looks well for the continued prospeiity of this rernaikable cLum. The Eureki : The amalgam obtained from tho late crualvng for the Eureka Claim at the Kuranui Company's machine \a not yet r< torted. We understand no retorting n ill take place until tho next cru-hing. Tlie A,l Nut ons : The / II Nations cuishing f.t tho Km.xniii Onmpin>'d machine was finished oa Saturday, but the returns are not yet to h.xud. 'I he Etiinbuiyli Castle Goldniiuing Company ; The crii t «hin,' for t lie KdwimrJi Castle at the VVhau Company \ machine was finished up on Friday laBt, and th" iesu.t was retorted and lodged in the Bauk of New Zealand on Sat irday. 'I he stone crushed was 14 tons 16cwt., aud the yield was 32oz. 18iAt. 6tjr. of meltel gold. This i* decidedly the best yield yet obtained from the E liuburgh Castle, and the sbareh .ldera a>e now workiug the daim with every confidence in its prospect*. Tne tfoyal Blue and City of Glasgow are now taking out a quantity of stone for dishing at the Whau Company's machine, and will irobihly keep the machine employed u itil tho roidway is in good order for fetchin r a supply of stone fiom the Whau C>>iiipaMv J 'i claim. 'Jhe John o' Groats Goldmining Company: I he cnifching for the J. hn o' Groat^ Claim, at Claikson's Gold Discoverer biiterj', has given a return far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the shareho dets. Five tons of (-tone, fiom which the specimens had kxen picked, gave the handsome yield of 40> z. 3dwt. of gold, an average of more than 8 z. to the ton. There are now about 70 tons of stone stacked on the claim, and we understand that ciu-hina; will be continued.

One of the shareholders of the Full Moon Claim, at HaRtingR, ou iratur^a}', exhibited some splendid specimen stone obtained in a feeder from the vari ma leaders m that claim. The t>t^ne was evidently a patch of the charaoter for whioh the ground id this neighbourhood was so celebrated some time ago. 1 he shareholders of the Gladstone Claim are now engaged sinking a shaft for the Peep o'Day reef — a continuation of the Waitemata and Golien Crown — which they expect to reach in about SO feet.
