WHANGAMATA.
A NEW FIND. At Thompson’s find in the XVhangamata district, the lode has been penetrated for a distance of 15 feet, with still no sign of walls. Gold is showing freely through the general ore, similar in quality to tho parcel treated at the Thame* School of Mines, which was worth £l6 14s per ton. Those who have visited the new find state that it is one of the best shows unearthed about the up country districts. Comparatively speaking the country in this direction is quite unexplored, and judging from present explorations so far, it is likely to play a very important part in regard to the bullion production of the future.
