THAMES GOLD FIELD.
We learn from private sources that the diggers at the Thames are generally very confident of success in their work. A competent judge of the value of the | quartz estimates that there is gold to the value of some ten thousand pounds in the stone already got ready for crushing. The machinery being prepared will soon be ready for crushing operations to be commenced on a fair scale, and we trust that the sanguine expectations of the miners will be amply realised. We have heard of a desire on the part of those who have capital, to invest in mining and crushing operations, but the experience of Coromaidel acts as a great check on the expenditure of capital on the Thames diggings. As the crushing machines get in operation, and if the quartz turns out in bulk anything at all like that which has been tested, the hesitation evinced by many will at once vanish, and the reefe at the Thames will be largely and properly worked. — Auckland Weekly Herald.
