A SILVER BOOM AT HOKITIKA

In thb "Guardian" of Saturday last we commenced an article on the subject of the Napier copper mineß,- and the 'mineral resources of New Zealand generally, by a reference to the silver boom m. Sydney. We wrote :— " Many a New Zealander must have ex perienced a feeling approaching to envy on reading of the wonderful goal lack of New South Wales m ' striking it rjch' m the matter of silver — so rich that the revenue from Govprnment royalty is expected this year to a million sterling — and have thought what a splendid thing it would be for this debt-laden land if only we could happen upon a 'similar slice of good fortune. And why not ? There is silver at the Thames We know— perhapß a great deal more than we know ot, and may-be our turn is not far off. Anyhow there are hopeful signs m more directions than one.*' We have not had to wait long lor a remarkable verification of our opinion as to the good things probably m store for New Zealand, for only two dayß after the above was penned, there was forwarded to the Dunedin papers ' the following, dated Hokitika, January 28rd : — " Twenty silver mining leases of 100 acres each have been applied for at Mount Rangitoto, and there is much excif&nent m the district about them, With the 500 acres freehold belonging to the Mount Rangitoto silver Mining Company, there are now 2500 acres Bilver country taken up. , Mount Kan gitoto is a mineral belt of country, con taining amongst other ores galena and lead; the former containing gold, and both rich m silver. The last piece assayed by Professor Black contained at the rate of 33©z gold to the ton of ore besides silver. It is rumored that tha Mount Han gitoto Silver Mmiug Company has been floated m London." Now a stiver mine, which besides yield in, that metal also furnishes gold, even were it only at. the rate of an ounc of the latter metal to the ton, let alone 33ozs, woud be a splendidly pacing affair, and it is heartily to be hoped that Rangitoto will prove to o tain an abundant store of rich stone. That there is every reason t> believe that the reported discovery is no m re flash-in the-paa is sufficient y evidenced by the information given about this very mine m Mr Lsrnach's "Handbook of New Zealand Mines." There are three B .ngitoto's iv New Zealand, doubtless owing to this country having been formerly replete with active volcanoes which have fixed their characteristics m the nomenclature of the Natives, the words " rangi " and " toto " meaning respectively "heaven" and "blood," and the red glare m the eky caused by the reflection, of volcanic fires having thus given to more mountains than one the name " Bang toto." Thus there is » Kangitoto at the mouth of An kland harbor, an -ther, about' 40 . or 50 miles south of Cambridge (Waikato) — where by the-bye there are a so silver workings — aid a thirl m Westland, which last is the locality referred to m the above quoted telegram. Anent this, the (Westland) Rangitoto Company's mine, Mr Larnach says m his handbook, " This mine is situated at the side of Mine Creek, about 1700 ft above sea level, on the Mount Rangitoto Range, eighteen miles by road from Ross. The ore was first discovered m the side and bottom of the creek, where rich silver specimens were found and reported on at the time by Professor Kirkl and, of the Melbourne University, who obtained assays up to 800 ounces of silver to the ton. Several assays which were made m the colonies and m England gave »n average of 2oz of g Id to the ton.; and ninety bags of the ore treated at Swansea, yielded that return, irrespec tiv; o: silver. The outcrop of the lode as now (1887) seen on the side of the creek does not, however, contain a large percentage of silver ; it is from 3in to 6n m thickness, of solid iron-pyrites, containing gold, silver, galena, and zinc-

blende, with a large proportion of arsenic

and sulphur ; but the lo^e widened out to about three feet m thickness. A great i deal of work has been done m th s ' mine, anil several tunnels were con structed ; but .there seems to have been no sysieniat c mode adopted for either working the mine or treating the ore after it was taken out . ... . I; is,; about eight years since any work was done at this mine The ore fs it wa- then treated did not prove payable for workir.g, the principle aaopt d being similar to what is generally v ed for extra cling gold fro n quartz. A. crush ing-battery of three heads of si amps, an amalgamating-barrel, ani two sma'l baddies are still on the ground ; but it appears that very little gold or silve- Could be got by this process. The Company subsequently erected an open roasting-pan, made of wrought-iron, about 16 feet long and 8 feet wide, to calcine the or« before crushing ; but the machinery and proc ss- f treatment were totally unsuitable for the class of ore found m the mine. 11 From all this it is evident t at both silver and gold exist at liangitoto, and it would fern m nandsomely payable quantity, and if it be true as rumoured that a Company has been floated m- London lo work the min>, it may be anticipated thatsuitabl appliances will be forthcoming to enable the mine to be tamed to g oJ account. Quite possible we may be on the eve ol d velnpm nts as important as t osc which have recently created so much excitement m JS.w J'outh Wales and South Australia. Let us hope so, at anyrat?, for a rich silver mine would be s godsend m these dull times. Sinoe writing the above information has come to hand, wbioh appears to render it very probable that we have m our own county — at Alford Forest — what may prove • most extenaive and valuable deposit of tin ore. It has been known for years that tin was obtainable m that looality, but it now begins to appear exceedingly likely that large and payable workings will be developed ]

THE MINING BOOM IN SYDNEY

HOW FORTUNES ABB MADE.

Mo3t of the favorite Investment stock* have (writes the " Sydney Mail's " Mel bourne correspondent) rlaen In vain 1 during the past yetr from 25 to 50 por cent., thetotsl appreciation being eittimaied at £12,000,000 ; and the broker*, most of whom are jobbers also, have done a laora llrj bn-'-'eas thfa year. One fi m pre sented ei«.;h f its clerks wih £100, and i^s coofideotial e'erk with £300 bb a Oil* rfrtTißs-box. Many perfona m this city c> found themselves wealthy all of a *udden, owing to the wonderful richness of the Brckan Hill Silver mine. A pro moter's share of £10Q Is now worth £175,000, on account of the shares In blocks 14, 16, and 16, to which each Is en titled. All sorts of romanio stories a^e current with respect to the mere socldents upon which the loss or acquisition of fortune m connection with this mine has turned, Here ie one, the acouraoy of whloh I oan vouoh for. Tiro of our jeunesse doree were playing cards m a 01 ub which is rather noted for this sort of thing. One of them lost all hit ready moQ6y to his opponent, and a good de»l more m addition whloh he did not exactly know how to meet. He said "I have nothing to offer you but, some shares m a silver-mine m South Anst-alla, " Which are probably worthless," was the reply. After considerable demur, the^winner oomented toaocept them m satisfaction of I the debt of honor,, not without serious ( misgivings as to future o*lls. At this moment they are yielding iheir fprtunatu holder an income of £80C0 per annum, and the mortification and chagrin of the uniaoky c*rd player may be easily imagined.

Wo clip the following important testimonial from the •• Illawarra Mercurry " (N.S.W.) ol the 30th March. It needs no comment: — " Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to as that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by ueing Sandar and Boos' Eucalypti Extraot. He Bays seeing the said Extract advertised m the 'Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a j bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to aSord him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract a cure for rheumatism as veil as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the 'Mercury.' We have muoh pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday'a request, whose word cannot be doubted, and' who can have no object m view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity."— (Advi. 2

She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most valuable discovery, and she is, creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the coun'ry, and «verybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to r«>ad the thousands ot lettew, something like the following from Mr Perkins: — r A. WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. "Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan 2, 1885. "Your medicine must be the most wonder- ful discovery, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I never knew any proprietary or patent medicine m Such universal favour and demand. .It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you Would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask — WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. " 59. Bloomfteld road, Plumstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. "I find the sale of your medicines increases ever j year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady th-it at'enc : ed the Female Hospital m Soho-square for some m»nths, with pains m back and side, and bi ious, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the n.edicines they gwe her. Before she had taken all the contents of o n e bottle of your syrup she fe t reli'f, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Baker." THE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. "Medical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigel s Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady ii Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asihma for a long period, ,who had consulted some of the best physicians of l he day, but without deriving any 1 benefit. She was daily getting wore, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seed's s>rup. She procured a bo tie, and the effect was marvellous ; she rap dly improved, and now shs is as strong and healvhy as cer she h s been. (Signed) "H. Llovd-Jonhs." WHAT IS MOTHFR SEIGEL GOOD FOR? • DOES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES . THE LIVING. Mr J. "W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, writes, — September, 1884: — "I introduced your medicines in^o L'unmow almost as soon as they were .brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. I have known many grand cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of failure, j 1 ot- wit'r standing many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I be- lieve it a good medicine — it will not restore I the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying. A CASE OF GRAVEL CURED. "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has always given me pleasure to re- commend your medicines to my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c jnstable of the police force •of Tooting, S. W., where I for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of pravel. He was per- suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's Fyrup.' He purol.ased a bottle at my shop, and by the time lie had taken ha'f of it he reported him- s-vf to me as quite cured. The effect was simply mira r ulous. (Signid) '•]. D. FLORANCE." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? . Would respectable chemists write like the following if not ? SURGICAL OPKRATI N AVERTED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr Eiwaud Cokke. Chemist, writes:— "Your me icine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well es'ablished m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or foui years ago was advised to submit to the operation for stone. He certain'y was suffering from some distressing symptoms?, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly well, and, 'bav'nq; taken three or four 2s 6J bott es, he was completely cured. He is sii'l about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the Syrup, and all is well again." WHAT PEOFLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER SEIGEL. An experience or forty years. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2, 1885. "My customers, ever a wide country dis- trict, are not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send; but verbal admiration of your medicine is m the ascend- ant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly main* tains its reputation as Mother Seiecl's Syrup, . .
