Prospecting for opals is being carried on at Tairua, m the Thames district, by a gentleman .who took an option over an acre of land there for the purpose. He states that 'he has had two'-men'em-ployed .for three days .' in opening out, and has secured a latfge quantity bfgems. Opals, both of black and' the "pinnre", variety, have been found at Tairua •previously. They occur m a sinter formation which oitterops a few miles below the gold mining area at Tairua,/ -and. nearer to the seashore. Hitherto the opals have been taken out by blasting the rock containing them, a process calculated to shatter the gems. The present prospecting party is adopting a gentler method, and the result • will- be awaited with interest. v A-tishoo ! once a wish, „ .
