THE WAIMEA.

(raOlt OXJB OWN COEBESPOKDEKT.) October^. The long-expected rain having at last come, miners' are hard at "work now washing 'their huge heaps of washdirt. The ground at Red Jack s is likely to prove a rather extensive field, several claims "being now worked to advantage, situated at some distance from each other. Between Italian Gully and Callaghan's, near Hamilton's hut, several parties have set into work, induced thereto by a patch having recently been struck by Hamilton and party. At the rush to a terrace between Lamplough and Callaghan's nothing fresh, is yet discovered. A good many parties are busily sinking, and will bottom ' in a day or two. At 'Quinn's Terrace Piper's Flat, several shafts are being sunk to the westward of the last golden hole, and on the top of the next terrace. They will be bottomed, should the weather be favorable, by the end of next week, and if found to oe payable will lead to the testing of a very large extent of country lying between Quinn's Terrace and the Arahura river.
