LYTTELTON GRAIN-SHED AND

DOCK.

The tender of McKenzie and Co. for £5,11315s Id was accepted for the erection of a new grain-shed, 520 feet long, at Lyttelton. The dock is making expeditious progress. In fact it is feared it will be finished before the caisson arrives. The contract for this expired last June, but it has not left the manufacturer's hands. It may bo mentioned that the length of the Lyttelton dock is 500 feet, not 450, as stated by the promoters ot tho new dock at Port Chalmers. It was originally intended to build it of the latter dimensions, but the Board wisely resolved to lengthen it while ibey still had time, and fifty feot were added to it EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE. During a practice of the Kaiapoi Fac tory's fire brigade, some experiments were being made with new appliances for fire extinction. A heap of wool was piled np so as to make it bum readily. One of the men poured some gasoline on it, and retir ing a few paces, struck a match to throw on it. The vapour of the oil reached him where he stood, and immediately the match ignited, and an explosion occurred. The man was very badly burned, and had to be carried home for attendance.

MINING NEWS.

[Fbomthe Cokomandel Mail.]

ToKATEA.—The No. 7 level has been driven about 26 feet, the country and lode keeping much the same as at date of last report. The quartz continues to carry gold more or less, picked stone having come to hand from each breaking down, with a fair Bhow of gold in the general stuff. There is nothing in the face to denote any change in the character of the lode ; it is highly mineralized, arid showing small dabs of gold through the quartz, which is being mixed with the general stuff and sent to the mill. The reef is 18 inches thick, and carrying hard1 on the foot wall. The con tractors started on the rise on Monday, and are up about 10 feet. The reef here is broken and split up, and probably will con tinue so for another 20 or 30 feet. The winze in the van level sinking to meet last mentioned work, is down 60 feet, carrying a fine stone lode about 2 feet thick of very promising appearance, but not show ing gold, although it may be expected at any moment. The repairs to the battery are so far completed that crushing can be commenced when sufficient stuff has accu mulated in the paddock-to give a fair start. McNeil and Rnox's tribute block has yielded 39ozs. Bdwts. of melted gold.—John Hall. . .

Thrush.—l have nothing of importance to report. The leader has teen much smaller than it was last -week, but has been Improved again since yesterday. It is now about four inches wide, I have_ not seen any gold, but there is every indication to expect it at any time. We have driven eight feet during the past week. The ground is about the same as mentioned in my last report.— Henry Thode. . "Reserve. — The drive on No. 1 leader is in a distance of 121 feet. I have discon tinued driving here for the present, and have started rising on the No. 2 leader. I broke through with the rise in the upper level this morning, about 15 feet from the roof of the low level. This leader splits. I continued the rise on the foot-wall branch, from which I can obtain gold by pounding the stone. This is about the position where I found gold in the stone in the upper level. The hanging wall branch also carries gold. obtained several stones shewing colours of gold in.this branch, and intend to open-.out from the rise at once, and get out a few tons of quartz for a trial crushing at once.— ■ Peter Barrett. ■,

Colonial.—Since my last report there has been but little work done in the mine, the men haying been employed about the carting and crushing of the quartz. Tho quartz on hand, 11 tons, and 2001bs. of specimens and picked stone, were crushed nt the Corby battery last week for. the splendid yield of 140ozs. 3dwts. of melted gold. We having been laying the tramway in the low level these last tew days, and are now ready to start in the face. I also intend to commence stoping shortly. ~ The manager's house is progressing but- slowly, having had to wait for timber.— George Stevens. ;:.. . : ':,'■ '

Mr Hutchison has resigned, and Mr John Harney is expected to take the management. Tiebnan's were yesterday engaged in the difficult task of getting stuff to the battery. The road is very bad, as is shewn by the tact that with two powerful horses only 7 cart, stuff could be taken at one load a slip.rt distance. The tramway worked fairly well MatAWAI. —A contract was let last week for driving fifty feet from the tunnel in Blackmores ground, and is going through good country. . Two "men are putting in a cross-cut from the tunnel to cut the Hat reef.

THE RECLAMATION WORKS.

A REPORT was current in town to-day to the eh'cct that Mr Fallon, contractor, had received positive instructions from the Government to proceed with and complete the filling in at the railway station recla mation on the eastern side of the Queen- Btreet wharf. We have made inquiries into the truth or otherwise of the report, and the result of our investigations shows that, although not absolutely true, the statement is in some degree sup ported by circumstances which have tran spired. The Government intend to remove tne dangerous bill between the Britomart and the present railway station, which for some reason has been allowed to remain for a. considerable time a standing menace to the safety of pedestrians on the reclamation road. The stuff will be placed along the southern side of the intake, and it is estimated that Custom House-street will be widened by ten. or twelve feet when this is completed. Work is to be commenced without delay, and will probably be finished about three months hence. It will be en trusted to Mr Fallon, who has obtained a reputation for the faithful performance of his contracts. Tkere is no specified price,J asd tho work will be paid for by the yard.

COMPENSATION COURT.- This day.

(Before Hia Honor Mr Justice Gillies and Messrs. A, Buckland and Joseph New man, Assessors.)

G. S. JAKINS V. THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC

WORKS,

Claim £600, in respect of the deprivation of sea-water frontage in Custom-house street by the demolition of the Gore-street jetty and the reclamation of ground. Mr Buckland acted as assessor for the Government, and Mr Newman attended ia a similar capacity for Mr Jakins. Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the claimant and Mr Tyler with Mr A. E. Whitaker for the respondent. His Honor opened the proceedings by reading the formal statement of the claim. Mr Tyler took a preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the Court, con '.ending that as the claim had been madeuad-r jScction 33 of the Public Works Act of 1576, and as that oct only authorised compensation to be paid in respect of enquiry by public •works, the claim could not bo made under it, inasmuch as reclamation of ground did not come under that designation. The claims should rather have been made uuder the Harbour* Act,

■ His Honor considered the respondent had waived any objection to jurisdiction by ac cepting the claim and appointing assessors. Mr Tyler said that if his client had not appointed an assessor the claimant would have appoined both. Mi Hesketh answered the objection by quoting a clause from the Interpretation Act stating that authority was given for any un dertaking of any kind soever (?) that was sanctioned by any of the Legislature for the time being in force, Reclamation was one of those undertakings. His Honor over-ruled the objection. Mr Tyler then took another objection, viz., that the claimant was not a person who could be considered as injuriously affected under the Act.

In reply, Mr Hesketh submitted that the lessee of property in close contiguity to a wharf, jetty or sea shoro has certain un written rights to them over and above those possessed by the general public. The property had been depreciated tully one third iv value by the reclamation works, as had also the neighbouring properties ; in fact this was only tho firat ;of a large num ber of similar cases.

Numerous authorities were quoted in support of this contention. Mr Tyler argued that Mr Jakins had no riparian"rights different from thoso enjoyed by the rest of the public, and consequently that he could not claim to be injuriously affected in any special way, or obtain compensation in re3pect of it. The learned gentleman concluded by say ing that the ground taken up by the claim evidenced a change of front on his part, which change had taken the res pondent by. surprise. Instead of shewing that he was injuriously affected by the deprivation of a right, and had suffered personal loss thereby, he was now simply contending that in common with the other property in the neighbourhood the claim ant's premises had been depreciated in value by the reclamation.

His Honor said that this definition and circumscription of the claim would considerably simplify the proceedings. The question would merely bo what was the value of the premises before the reclamation ■was undertaken, and what is their value now?

Mr Tyler susgested that a new claim might be made oat, in order that the Minis, ter might have tho opportunity of advan cing an offer. Mr Hesketh said that he was prepared to take an offer now.

Mr Tyler' remarked that he was net pre> pared to make one. The matter was then adjourned till Mon> day, the 17th prox.

EXCESSIVE BATHING.

A question has just come before tho Man" Chester City Council which has interest for every town where public baths exist. It is found during hot weather that many bathers remain in the water for an unconscionably long time—several hours at a stretch some times. This is said to be especially the habit of feminine bathers, to the great danger of their health. Iv one instance, a girl lost the use of her limbs, and in many others, illness of one sort or another has been traced to this over-indulgence. ' At the Manchester baths, printed notices are posted up prescribing half-an-hour as the maximum time. These, however, are set at naught, and what may be "pickling," goes on just as if there were no regulations to tho contrary,

We have little doubt the officials con nected with the public baths of the metro polis could tell a similar tale, if so minded. Perhaps, therefore, some good would come, from distributing among bathers printed warnings as to the ill-consequences that re sult from over-bathing. Loss of strength, drowsiness, hepatic derangement, and, wo believe, heart'complaint, are among the re sults of the " practice when fre quently resorted to. It is, we think, more through ignorance of any harm resulting, than out of downright pnrveraity, that this, foolish excess in bathing has be come to be so general. Of course, there are some constitutions that can stand any thing ; ami here and there a Webb or a Beckwitb is to be found, to whom long immersion in water is,apparently,innocuoup. But even these amphibious beings like to have the water warm—a condition which docs not obtaia at public baths during summertime.—London "Globe."

BRITISH UNIFORMS.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—If the colour of the.uniforra worn by the British soldier is a fair specimen of the points of identity between tho English race and the lost ten tribes, .the advocates of that theory, are erecting a pyramid of assertion upon a tiny apex of evidence. Yonr correspondent of Thursday supports this extravagant notion by a quotation from Nahum ii., 3 v. But the prophecy refers to the destruction of JSineveh, the capital of the ancient empire of Assyria, i and the " mighty men," mentioned by Nahum compose the Mede-Babylonian army, which, under C/axares and Nabopo lasser, utterly destroyed it. Than as to the shields : The bulls-hide shields of the ancients were stained red • with the double design of alarming the enemy, and of depriving them .of the stimulus which blood drawn by their weapons would afford them. George Smith supposes that in this instance reference is made to the reflection of the sun's rays on bronze or copper shields. The argument from the scarlet of the valiant men is pitifully weak. Xeno phon says that the Medes (the besiegers of Nineveh) wers fond of thia color. This favorite dye of antiquity was extracted, by the Lydians and Tyrians especially, from the juice of a shell-fish called murex. The Anglo-Israelite theory must be miserably weak if such exegesis as your correspon dent's is needed to support it. The text adduced has no remotest connection either with Israel or Britain.-1 am. &c, Q.

A PLOUGHING DIFFICULTY1 SETTLED. HAWERA, this day. The ploughing difficulty near Otakeho has been satiafactorily settled. Mr Adam Hunter, owner of the land, yesterday in terviewed the Native Minister and asked what he should do. He was informed that if ho desired the natives to be removed or arrested, that (should be done, but if he pre ferred to make arrangements with them the Government would not interfere—it was entirely in his (Mr Hunter's) hands. Mr Hunter thought that under the circumstances he could hardly be ex peoted to bring his wife and family to live on deferred payment land. The Native Minister declined to mix up the question of residence with that of Maori trespass} if Mr Hunter wanted the Maoris removed he had only to say so and it would be done. _ Of course it was possible that the Maoris might make further trouble. It was pointed oat by Captuin Wilson that tho Maoris were willing to give a share of the crops, and said they had no other ground to cultivate. After Bdnie delay Mr Hunter agreed to accept one-third of the crop as rent of tho land. • „ Captains Wilson and Hunter then pro ceeded to Otakeho and saw tho Maoris, who had not ploughed since the previous day, Tairua Kena, a returned prisoner, ob jected, but ultimately "gave way and con sented with the rest of tho Maoris {about half a dozen) to pay the rent in this kind. Mr Hunter stilt declines to take his wife and family on to tho land, and consented to the arrangement partly to avoid tho res« ponsibility of being the first to bring possible trouble on the Plains, and partly so as not to incur personal odium from the natives..

THE SUDDEN DEPARTURE OF THE PREMIER AND TREASURER.

[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT).

WELLINGTON, this day. The great Ministerial mystery is still un solved. Messrs Hall and Atkinson left by tbe Stella last night for Upunake, but their arrival is not yet reported, and no explana tion is obtainable as to their proceedings, and no fresh news about native affairs.

All sorts of theories are being constructed to account for the Ministerial flight, but but so far nothing seems to throw any light on the matter. The whole affair is involved in tho profoundeat mystery, but it appears that the Premier tried hard to get Mr BoUeston to come down to Wellington before he made up his mind to go up. Mr Rolleaton, however, declared his inability to leave, and so Metsrs Ball and Atkinson at least went up.

BOARD OF E DUCATION.

The fortnightly meeting of the Board of Education took place this, afternoon, there being present:-Messrs J. M. Clark (Chair, man), W. P. Moat, S. Luke, R L. Prime, F. J. Moss. Girls' High School.—The Secretary read a letter from the Master of this School reporting thot in consequence of an out break of scarlet fever the Michaelmas vaca tion commenced earlier than had been sanc tioned. He trusted tho work would be re sumed not later than the sth prox,—lt was agreed that the vacation should extend to the 10th as originally determined. Bbkesfordstreet School.—Applica tion for matting for corridor of Bereslord street school.—lt was decided to inform the City School -Committee that the. Board objected to matting beiDg laid down. WELLESLEY - STREET SCHOOL.' — The Chairman pointed out that in the construc tion of the Albert Park the children of this school would be deprived of their play ground. However, the volunteer autho rities were treating with the City Council with the- view of getting tho hollow behind the Drill-shed filled up for tho purpose of a parade "round. It was quite probable that the Board would be asked to contribute to the necessary expense in consideration of being granted the use ot tho parade as a flayground for the children. JFree Evening Classes.—A letter was | eoeived from the City School Committee, recommending the Board to subsidise to the extent of £1 per week one of its male teachers to impart free instruction id" the evenings to children who were unable to pay for them selves.—The Chairman and Mr Moat both expressed as desirous of granting the re quest if they could be satisfied that the Board would not exceed their functions.— Mr Peacock opposed the application. The Board's funds could not be used for such a purpose, and besides even if they could the effect might be to empty the present paid classes.— Mr Hobb's felt so strongly the desirability of the project that he felt inclined to run tbe risk of exceeding the Board's powers by giving effect to it.—lt was decided to adhere to the previous resolution, viz,, that the matter is outside the functions of the Board.
