MINING NEWS.

Sodthrrn CROSS.-Thereisslill sufficient quartz f fom the leaders on the face of the ' hill to keep the ten head of stampets eoinc The stuff is still payable, 40™$g& amalgam having been received from ig loads of quart* last week. No gold ha. vl n V?u in. s Pe,oime tt 'eauer lately althou fc h the «tone has a very promisin. _*7 appearance. The manager intends to clean- * uptbis week, and will report on Monday THAHES _UUP LEVEL TRIBUTE -The level has been cleaned out and repaired A good ladderway has been placed in the Caledonian shaft.also the tramway from the Brace has got a thorough overhaul, and to now in working condition. The work in progress now is the opening out o{ two 1 chambers preparatory to sinkfn • twn winzes on the reef. The manager considers it advisable to have another winze sunk on the northern side of the Tookey Company's wioze, where there seems to be a junction '■■'* and some good looking quattz, which recommendation;has been adopted by the directors, /& Tokatea G.M.C.-The mine manager reports : -In the early pari of (he week the reef in the main level split up, forming into a mass of small stringers, and has con tinued so up to the present. The channel in this part of the level is about 10 feet wide, carrying these small veins from wall to wall, and almost has the appearance ol one large lode. Nothing has been seep iv the quartz until this evening, when about 4lbs. of stone came to hand from a vein oa ' the foot-wall, showing strong colours* of gold, including two pieces that might be called specimens. There is a sort of dig making on the hanging. wall side, which will enable us to carry oa ***ii for s_ft. or 6ft. belore breaking down. Tbo rise in the level is nearly up for carrying I along the leading stope. A little gold can be seen in the quattz ; but here, as in the level, the country is rather broken. I think, however, it will come together again a few feet higher np. The inter, mediate level is within about 60ft. of the winze. The country is improvine. although it has not, as yet, lost its broken character. The hanging.wall leader has ! run ont, leaving a more promising -body of stone on the foot-wall, and which is im< *i proving as the broken country is dying out. 1 This level has been very disappointing, aa I we expected a much better class of ground ' ~l fully 50ft. back. B ' I Tributes.—There is nothing of import 31 tance to report from the tributes,, the different parties being engaged in prospect ing aud opening out new ground.—John P. Hall. ______________

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—ln my comments on the liquor traffic 1 ' have generally confined my remarks to tha moral and physical aspect of the trade-always '' feeling that I have neither the time nor the ability to put before the publio the commercial aspect of the trade in its true light, The argu-' "" meats used by English writers scarcely apply 3 here, since money, and labour, and life, arsi of more value in the colonies than they are In England. When we speak - of four pounds sterling per head being spent by the entire population of England •' it amounts to the large sum of over one hundred . and twenty million sterling a year, but this ia comparatively a small sum when set against the five pounds per head spent by the entire population of New Zealand. The total sum. £2,000,000, two million sterling, is a far greater loss to us than the one hundred and twenty * million to Great Britain. A large proportion of the people in England can spenof their pro portion without feeling poorer, and if they in vest the amount thus spent they would be at a ■* loss to find a profitable investment for the sum ' ! saved—but how different here, where invest- ■•' _ ments are inviting capital on - every 1 hand, and labour being more costly and the development of our resources conse quently slower. This two million a year if _\ diverted to other channels, and spent in labour ■ saving machinery, and in raising more produce. - especially in fruit, we might then afford to live ■-,$ well, and even luxuriously, with much 'ess ■: ""ii anxiety, and less labour. But this is only one aspect of the money thus foolishly spent—for "■"■ nearly all admit, who have really studied the \ question, that we are stronger and healthier without the intoxicating drink than with i£ If the two million thus spent yearly could ba .*« saved and devoted to paying off our State debt, we should soon be a free people riding in our own railway carriages free of debt, enjoying all the luxuries of life at the lowest cost of labour; for with our fine climate and good soil, we ought to be the wealthiest and the happiest people in the world. The drink is by 1 far the greatest hindrance to our happiness and " prosperity; viewed from another point, the ' money loss is the lesser evil of the two. Lookat tho loss of life, the loss of property, the miseries entailed on families as well as individuals; tha ' * evils afe "jLegion," they cannot be told, the ; ij amount cannot be estimated; it sets at defiance A all our rnleßin arithmetic, yet the bulk of u»\ goon as of old "Ami my brother's keeper?* j. We close with a pratical remark—Will our Licen. ' sing Committees see their way to refuse tha twelve o'clock license in the city and suburbs on next licensing day in June, or shall we have ' these cases of manslaughter (as at Onehunga last week) repeated again nnd again until -i people aro weary of repeating them? Here is a **; lad lost at the age of eighteen, worth to tiio < community, from a labour point of view, at least two hundred' pounds, and yet people »": aro heard repeating the parrot cry—" Tha L Council cannot afford to give up the license ffl fees,' or tho Government cannot do without tho revenue derived from grog, whilo any school- H boy who knows tho first four rules in B arithmetic can easily show that tho community and tho Government would be great gainers if '$ tiio wholo of our shipments of intoxicating I drinks wero sunk to tho bottom of the sea, in- I stead of being landed and used to impoverish and demoralize the people. For evidenoe of the demoralization,read police report of vestor day.—Yours &c, Joseph NBWM4N. 1 ' ,'!*;!

THE AUCKLAND BOWLING GREEN.

(To the Editor.) ' Slo,—Ton have been wrongjnlly Informed on leneral important i points with regard to the Club's tenure ot the Grafton-road. It is time » that tho Club obtained the land from the Go vernment on condition, that, If required at any time it should be given np ; but, considering the land was at that time patt of the Public Domain, what authority had the Government for parting with it at ad, especially to members of the Board to [use for their own purpose. 1 AsH for tbe statement that the Club has spent J32000 ''li npon the ground, it is all moonshine; for, with tbe exception ot having laid down the greens for their own benefit, in what manner, pray, I have they Improved the place, and how haa tha money been expended, This skeleton claim has been merely trumped up in order to give the club a greater hold npon the land, and la I tho hope that they may be left in undisturbed I possession.. They do receive a rent for tho cot tage from the person In oharge of the greens, sa .i oan be easily ascertained on enquiry, and I £8 believe they are acting illegally in so doing. The position appears to be this, tbat the clnb being nnder the impression that they TtlU never be called npon to give up the lend, have made out a flotitios claim of £2,000, so that when the proper time arrives they will be able to say this land ia ours ba virtue of car olaim, etc, and they can afterward divide the b poll among themselves. The whole matter is _W a grave publio sosnda), aud the publio should not allow it to rest in its present position. Tha discussion and correspondence has now been going on for several weeks, and Hot one mem. , ber of the Board has oome forward to contra dict any of the statements that have been made thence we must presume that silence means -s consent. If the Board are short of funds why, *jj cannot the members of the Bowling Club '^ oome magnanimously forward and offer tali fllve np whatever right they may have in this and, and let it bepnt np tor sale, ahd by sa doing avoid the necessity of having to encroach on- other and more important parts of tho -M Domain. I hope that the publio will not rest satisfied until this course is adopted I am, yours, etc., Verax. |
