It was pointed oiu by the Churchwarden (.Mr A. kellm) that this is the diamond jubilee of the church here, and it was considered a fitting tihie to lay the foundation stone <<f the new stone building. After being in commission for a considerable time boring bn the ..tmiordAwatuna flat, the Keystone driller, was on Wednesday evening brought bach to Hokitika. ' It is understood that a little gold was found througnout, but not in sufficient quantity to warrant the erection of a dredge. Before Mr. H. P.
