DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
REPORTS FROM ROTORUA. EXAMINING THE REEF. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The reports of the new gold discovery in the Rotorua district were mentioned to-day to the Under-Secretary of Mines, who stated that samples of rock had boen brought to Wellington and forwarded to the analyst for a report, which was not yet available. A special officer, who was sent to the area to look over the new reef, has not yet reported. Two applications for claims have been received, one from a native and one on behalf of a native. The reef Is on native land, and is useless for any other purpose, but until this was declared a mining area it was not permissible for prospectors to wander on to or about it at will, and the declaration will depend on the departmental officers’ report.
