MOUNT PEEL OPALS.

— ... . «. The following article— apparently con tributed or inspired by Mr Wilson, Inspect- Engineer of the Mines Department, win. visited Mount Perl n f :\v weeks "go — ap pears m the New Zealand Alines RtcodUn , this mouth :— The iußpecting engineer paid a visit to Mount Peel last mouth for the purpose of inspecting tha opal working, wli oli wer reached by the road up the Rangitata Gorge, behind the mouulaiu, an aaceur, of 2800: having to be attained m less thau two miles. The wot kings, which are 42f.0f above sea level, consisted of a paddock about 20ft m length, sunk on the slope of the hill, the upper end buing about 2ft m width, and at the lower end, where the width waa 6ft to Bft, it was excavated to a depth of 7ft. About 50ft lower down the hill an open outting 12ft; m width was made, but no signs of opal matrix had been met with* A a further distance of four chains small opals were being got by picking down the rock where they were visible, and m that W^y a number of pieces were obtained, but too Rmall to be of value, although the aciu tillation of red colour was readily seen m most of them. On a blast beiug fired Mr Lyons, the manager, who had prepared i> while Mr Wilson waa inspecting the othei workings, a piece of the matrix about 151 b m weight was found m the debris, containing an opal of roundish form and bluish colour, and another piece of opal showed m a stone near the bottom. The specimens were banded to the inspecting engineer, though the manager reluctantly parted with tht ffrst one, stating that, as wages were owing him, he meant to keep the stone for himself. A variety of crystals and atone of opaline character could be seen on the surface oi the mountain, and a few specimens were collected. The matrix or rock m which the opals exist is a kind of reddish-brown and apparently igneouß rock, extending m a run between the paddock and tne face where the Btnall opals were found. It did not appear to be very wide, and as far as could be dis covered was about a foot across and nearly vertical The whole of this could, at very little cost, be stripped to a depth oi several feet from the paddock to the face, and thus give about four chains of ma'rix that could ba thoroughly searched for opals. At several points on the wuy down from the mouutaiu top— the descent being made by following a pack track which led to the flat about two or three miles further up the Bangitata Valley than the point where the ascent commenced — rock of the same character as the matrix was found m the workings From the character of the loose stone found on Iht surface, from the evidence of small opals at the face, and from the nature of the of the results of the paddock, it could be assumed that a considerable area of opaline stone exists, and further search may probably prove that other parts of the mountain contain stone of opaline charao ter. In Queensland, according to' the report of the Under-Secrelary of Mines for that co'.ony, " the opal mining industry is confined to the cretaceous areas m the far west and south-west of the colony, where this gem is met with at a few feet from the eulface down to 50ft. It occurs as a rule m bands or beds that deviate very little from the horiz ratal, and which at one time formed the bottom of shallow inland Beaa. There is probably more hazard m the chance of striking a good opal deposit that drop piog across a chute of gold ; but as the majority of men engaged m this industry follow it oDly m spare time between other occupations, such as station work, they come doubtlessly prepared to put up with whatever luck muy fall to their share." The Mount Peel field might be worked under similar conditions, and it was suggested that after the shearing season was over many of the men engaged iv that occupa tion would probably give the opal field a trial. As the distribution of opals is uncertain, and the stone only found m small pitches, careful examination only will prove whether valuable deposits are to be found or not. As the work would chiefly be with pick, shovel, and wheelbarrow, no great amount of capital is at present required to make a thorough test of the field. The Record Beign lease, which was inspec'eA contains aa area of 60 acree, and about £100 has .been expended by the lessees ; but very little, if any, has been done on the other eight leases, which comprise an area of 172 acres and 17 perches. A long stretch of matrix can be readily and inexpensively examined m the Record Reign ground, and as the mountain will be clear, of enow for (several months, a thorough .search may be made duriug the summer, especially an labour will be plentiful after the shearing season is past. The value of the opals must first be determined, and sufficient quantity won, before any one c*n prononnoe whether or not opal mining can bo profitably carried out at Mount Peel. There is no reason for further delay m proving the field, and the lessees can readily employ [he necessary labor, provided they are prepared to under take the expenditure required. If valuab'e opals are produced, the success of the industry will be ultimately assured, failiug which the field should be left to the pros pector.

Now, there is a .xia'ter But let's have ai example or two first, and the iheor\ afterwards. A father writes thus about his laughter: 'During ihe Bummer of 1890 my daughter, Pebecca, got into a weak languid way. Her appetite was poor, and after eating she had so much pain »t the chest and stilus that sho didn't know where to pat herself. She also com plained of pain m iho pic of the stomach m the r.hroat-, and at the back of her neck. Cold, olammy sweats used h. •nakout all ovtr her. Her breathing htcame short and laboured, and at times *he Gould not even lie m bed on account of it. fhe consulted two physicians, who prescribed for her without avail. t Thswashor general condition unul January, 1893, when she began taking Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. This preparation cert, inly had a remaikable effect. One botle alone greatly relieved her. She relished her food, and got stronger. By simply continuing to use .his medicine m three months she was i completely cured. Since then she has been as well as evpr she wap. My married daughter, who has suffered from indiges tion for a long time, teeing what this remedy hid done for Rebecca, took it also, with the same good results. Yours ruly, (Signed) Bartholomew 8.11, Grocer. *c, Brompton, Nenhallerton, October 25th, 1893. 1 ' All my life,' writes a woman, 'I have suffered more or less from sickness and *p>snis. I always felt weak, tired, and laDgoid, and had no desire for company. I had « bad taste m the mouth, and fre quently ft.lt sick anJ pn a rate. I had no relish tor food, and, after eating, had pniii ac the chest and aide. Such was my manner of life for years. T«?o years igo ray sister told me of Seigel's Syrup ; I tried It, and even a few doees relieved m•. I continued to take it, and soon my appetite improved, and my food digested Sinc^ th'-it time I have felt a new being — no light hearted and strong.

Now see, Kvidence like the nbovr (though muoh more impressive) proves that Mother Seigol'o Syrup d<her curen or relieves almost every known complaint- Yet it never was (nor ia it now) recommended for any disease except indigestion dyspepsh. What is the inference ? That nearly every known complaint is caused by indigestion an?'; dyspepsia —is. indeed, a symptom of it. 4 Bat everybody believes that nowa days,' you say.
