THE KAIMANAWA.
The Union Company's party arrived at Mr. Birch's place on the 28th October. They were 17 in number, headed by Mr. Hogg, 0.E., and had seven packhorses with them. They came by the Rangitikei track. Mr. Hogg, after putting the men on the Kaimanawa, will go back to survey the track. He says that, with a little cutting, the distance to lower Rangitikei could be reduced, to three days' journey. Mr. Roberts, overseer of the party sent i out by the directors of the Hawke's Bay Gold Mining Company, thus reports under date the 3rd November: — "We have prospected the Tararau thoroughly, without finding any indication of gold. We have now moved camp to the source of the Rangitikei, where we find the primitive rocks take a favorable change." It will be seen from our telegraphic news that a large quantity of specimens from Kaimanawa have been brought in by the Wanganui prospecting party, and are now undergoing analysis by Mr. Skey, of the Museum. At present,' they afford no indication of the presence of gold.
