THE HOKITIKA RUSH.
Hokitika, March 28th. Several more claims have bottomed on payable gold at the Woodstock rush. There are now eight or nine parties on payable gold, and about 300 miners on the field. The > last claim bottomed to-day was that of Duncan and party, who obtained 35 grains of coarse gold from four dishes of vashdirt. Curnick and party washed three and a-quarter loads on Saturday, which yielded loz 17dwts with five feet of washdirt.
The rush is assuming quite a busy appearance, and miners generally are well satisfied with the prospects. Numbers of stores and shops are in course of erection on the ground, and coaches arc loading daily for the rush.
