BAY OF ISLANDS COAL MINE.

A correspondent sends us the following infor mation relative to the Kawakawa mine :— Jhe coal mine has hitherto proved a non-paying in vestment to its shareholders. This arises chiefly through the limited demand for this realty ex cellent fuel, and also for the very defective engineering skill displayed previous to the appointment of Mr. James Ronaldson to the practical management. That gentleman has with great zeal taxed all his professional skill in obviating the many great evils resulting from the reckless way the mines had formerly been worked, the surface having been allowed to tall in all over the old workings, thus making run mis or receivers for the surface water thai now has to be pumped out from the.bot toin'of the shrttt. Uiterlv regardless of safety in future operations, the coal has been taken away, leaving only small pillars of from 9 to 12ft. sijuare to hold up the roof, and it has not been without great laoor and engineering talent that ape manent road has been forced through the debris of fallen root in order to work tho coals at tho other side or the " fault." which is now successfully pierced. This work, together with the others of a perma nent nature, has hitherto kept the cost per ton at a considerable Hgure, but now all this being near completion, and everything being i;i fair-going order, Mr. Ronaldson, if retained oy the Company, will have the satisfaction ot showing the shareholders the disadvantage they have been under formerly by not securing the services of a practical colliery engineer, by in creasing the out-put, and reducing the cost ot production to a profitable limit. It is a matter of curiosity to the uninitiated that the only time the mines paid a dividend was when managed by a gentleman of no engineering ability, lint this is easily explained, as. at that time, the mines were completely Hooded. and ah work underground ceased, so that it was impossible for the bona tide workings to pay anything; but the reverse, as many hundred pounds worth of valuable plant was altogether lost by the inundation. The true reason was that the Thames goldtield was then in its most prosperous days, and, depending almost entirely on Kawakawa for coal, it was suddenly left without fuel, and was ready to burn anything in the shape of coals to keep their engines going. Since the coal mines first opened.there had been a great mass of slack accumulated at the mouth of the mines—thrown away in fact, as being valueless — and an idea was conceived ol sending a cargo to the Thames for trial. This resulted in its permanent use, and the whole or the mass, some 8 or 10.000 tons was speedily turned into cash. In addition to this, a large rib of coals that had been left on the outcrop, was got without much outlay. This rib, a practical man would not have touched it, it being left there as a preventativc against water coming in on that side. A general reduction of 10 per cent has recently been made oil' the wages of the workman. About 150 hands find employ ment about the works. The average out-put is about 25,000 or 30,000 tons per annum. But it is in a position to produce at least 115,000 tons, if occasion required. Perhaps the directors may be induced to go in for the manufacture of patent fuel, for which Government offer a subsidy of £1000."

TEMPERANCE HALL.

The entertainment in the Temperance Hali was fairly attended on Saturday night. Mr Peace presided, and in the course of his remarks made some allusion to the rise and progress of these entertainments, informing the audience that the secretary, Mr Andrew, was preparing a slight history of its origin, aim, difficulties, and ulti mate success, which would be submitted when completed. Disappointment was expressed at Mr McGuinness not appearing according to promise, and the musical selections had to be omitted. Mr Hodgson, however, made up in a degree for this omission by the capital manner in which ho gave " The Doctor's Boy." He was encored, and gave the comic "A.H.C." much to the amusement of the small fry. Miss Peace gave the " Raggit Wean in good style, and received an imperative encore. This young lady is becoming quite a favourite. Mr Marter's "Marble Arch" took well, as also Alias Jack's " Belle Mahonc." Mr Butschkqw's original comic song, in character, " The Tailor of Paris" was the song of the evening. The make-up was faultless, and reflected much credit onMrß.'s ability as a tailor. The music and words were such as to render the composer at oneo. famous as a comic composer and wit. Air Turrcll's accompaniments were much admired. Miss Hall sang •'The Gipsy's Warning" and "Kiss me Mother, Kiss your Darling." in such a manner as to leave nothing to be desired, but that she would appear frequently. Mrs Homer's "Sing me an English Song" was sang in that lady's best style. Mr McCappin's " Sexton," and Mr Marson's "Old Musketeer" were both well rendered and much applauded. Mr Nairn dis appointed the audience by his non-appearance. Mr Winchcombe's original comic song, caused much merriment, and secured for that gentle man a shower of bouquets. He appears to be a staunch favourite with the ladies. The enter tainment closed with the National Anthem.

TEMPERANCE VARIETY TROUPE.

The usual weeiuy emenauuueu^uiuiu n,.u nerance Variety Troupe was held in the Young Mens' Christian Association Rooms on Saturday evening last. As was anticipated, the hall was crowded before eight o'clock, many persons hav ing to be refused admittance after that hour. The entertainment was for a charitable object, viz , to assist the Pioneer Juvenile lemple, and this combined with the unusually attractive programme, made it the great centre of attrac tion. The chair was occupied by Mr McKonzie, (from over the way), the Superintendent of the Temple, who introduced the various items of the programme in a short and attractive speech, full of anecdote and humour. The various songs, etc were well rendered, and elicited hearty applause. We would especially notice among the ladies Miss Lawrence and Mrs Bettany. The song "II de Gondo," by the former, was perfect, and the " Swiss Toy Girl," of the latter was an excellent impersonation. Mr Langton sang "I'm a Dad" and "Come Along Do.' The pathetic ballad "The Vacant Chair," was sung by Mr Jamieson. Mr Brown made a decided hit with the " Fight Brigade." Messrs Heighton and Coleman in their challenge dance, seemed to excite the most attention, and had to submit to a recall. "Within a Mile of Edinbro' Town," was sweetly sung by Miss Ashe, and Mr Chapman save "The late lamented Mr Jones." Miss Maggie Binnssang " Ring the Bell Softly." "The beating of my own Heart" was well rendered by Miss McEvoy. The entertainment was brought to a close with the "Gens d'Armes," by Messrs Bur ton andLangton, which provoked a large amount of laughter,and sent the audience away with ach ing sides. Mrs Hertz presided at the pianoforte, and the Temperance Drum and Fife Band, under Mr F Jeune, played a number of popular airs outside. The total amount taken at the door was £b 13s Id, which, after £2 8s has been deducted for expenses, leaves a balance of £3 5s Id. The sec retary desires us to acknowledge the receipt of that sum. He also wishes to return his thanks, on behalf of the Temple, to those who so generously came forward to assist.

It is always gratifying to be able to refer to the success of any neAV local industry. The wants of civilized life tire made up of an innumerable variety of trifles, the pro duction of any one of which is capable of affording employment to a large number of people. Looking at the immense variety of simple articles that are annually imported into Auckland, it has often been a matter of surprise that we continue to send out of the colony considerable sums of money for goods which could be easily manufactured here, and would afford remunerative employment for young and old of both sexes. Messrs Wil son&Co) of the Tikipounga Mill, Wangarei, has shewn a worthy example in this respect by the manufacture of a baking powder, which, after due trial by housewives, bakers, cooks, and ' other equally competent judges, lias been pronounced equal to the very best imported article, and superior to much of it, which suffers deteri oration by conveyance over sea. "We have seen numerous local testimonials to the superiority of Mr Wilson's manu facture. Mr L. Damalc, the " cuisinier" of the Northern Glub, has found .the powder excellent for culinary purposes, and a goof substitute for eggs in the manufacture o pastry of every description. Mr A. Kidd, of the Provincial Hotel, recommends the powder for bread and pastry as the best lie lias ever used ; while Mr W. H. Pierce, of the Royal Mail, after due trial also speaks highly of the powder for bread and pastry. The manufacture may be obtained from Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co., who are the Auckland agents, but about the beginning of the new year Wilson & Co will have com pleted their arrangements for opening a branch manufactory in Auckland. Families, bakers, confectioners, and presiding genii of the kitchen ought to encourage local indus try and keep the money at home. The following further testimonials have been received by Mr Wilson : from Mr Rhoderick McLeod, "Iona"; R. Prohl, "Argyle"; Henry Selfe, Newton ; W. Hamley, Wyn yard Arms. —Advf.
