TE PUKE.
The drive in Fleming’s freehold is now in 100 feet through kindly brown quartz. Crosscuts will be shortly started to act. The one will cut the reef well under where the surface gold was got, and the other will cut a number of smaller leaders that prospect well, and that will junction with the main lode some distance ahead. On the Lady Jocelyn claim, which adjoins Fleming's freehold, there is a great outcrop of reef, and also smaller leaders. .Some fine prospects of gold are obtainable in the creek. Arrangements are nearly complete for prospecting the Opawa I lock of Native land and a party of prospectors from the Thames has been arranged with. A preliminary inspection of the ground has proved to be very satisfactory, and work will be started early next week.
