Dunedin. May 14 The Molysecx m falling fast, being now a , aht.it over nine feet above normal—a deop of six feet Bines Friday night. The Maori King Go has purchased aiaehin •<ry which ib now building, and nearing som p'ietios, at an Ofcago foundry, for a suitable dredge. The engine and boiler are already landed bera, and tenders for the pontoons will be called ab onoe» The dredge should ba afc work m five months. The Hew Alexandra Company has decided to sell its dredge to the Pei'severaaoa Company for £6000. Tta Otsgo Daily Times expresses the opinion that when the process of weeding oat and reconstruction is completed, the new sys tem of gold mining will steadily develop until it becomes the most; important part of the mining business of the colony. The article further states that there is a great fulure before gold dredging m the colony, and when once public confidence is restored by the consistent earnings of the bulk of the dredges fee work, a very deai-fed forward move will be made. The pessimistic view taken by a number of people ia hardly justified, asi the industry is one of great promise, and capable of indefinite expansion.- For the West Coast the rame journal remarks that it is evident there is an enormoaa field there awaiting development.
