LATER FROM NAPIER.
We take the following from the Jlmvke's Bay Jlerahl of the 14th instant: — "O£ all the specimens of quartz that from time to time have been brought to Napier for examination, by far the most likely are those sent down from Mr. Lyon's run, Kerern, and which came to hand yesterday. In almost every piece gold is distinctly visible with the naked eye, so that its auriferous character is placed beyond all question. Mr. Tiffen leaves town this morning, accompanied by Mr. Koch, for the spot where this stone was obtained, and it is, we believe, the intention of the directors of the Hawke's Bay Goldmining Company at once to send a prospecting party to the locality indicated. It is not supposed that the reef will be found there, or, indeed, other than detached auriferous stone, but it is believed that the latter has been washed from the contiguous Ruahine range, and that there, without doubt, runs the 'reef.' It is a mere question of time and trouble whether it will be found now or years hence ; but the party about to be organised will doubtless do their best to effect a discovery."
