Notes from Mahakipawa. (From Our Own Correspondent.)
Havelock, February 4. Owing to the heavy floods in Cullensville and Waikakaho creeks this week all mining operations have been suspended, and in many claims it will require some days to place them on the •level of former workings. Some of the terraces are turning out first-olass at much higher levels than was anticipated, and have so tar proved themselves the best paying claims, as the gold is secured with very much less labour. The miners at White Pine Gully are all making small wages, but nothing more. The gold in that locality is not so patchy, and seems more regularly distributed through the washdirt, making it more of a poor man's diggings. Some of the diggers think it is a continuation of th^ same run of gold found in the right-hand branch of Cullen's creek. '
