MINING NEWS.

[From the " Coromandel Mail."]

THE Tokatea tributers, Kuox and McNeill, have had a splendid return of lOliozs. ol gold from 2 tons of general stuff and 751hs picked stone, thereby fully maintaining the high character of the old tribute leader and of the mine itself. Tho Tokatea Company's operations have hitherto been devoted to the opening of the enormous block of ground which is expected to recoup the large amount expended during the past few years. Last week the first supposed payable section was tairly opened, and stoping operations have now com menced from No. 2 wieze, From this point for hundreds of feet going towards the big reef gold is known to exist, and is said to have been left in places along the floor of the Van level, thereby affoi ding reasonable presumption for the hope that the battery can be kept going on payable stuff.

It is verjr gratifying to he able to report such a satisfactory show as exists in the Kapanga mine at the present time. The idea that tbe Kapanga will after all turn out a dividend-paying mine is beginning to he cherished once more, and it is to be hoped that such will be the case, not only for the sake tf the Englieh shareholders, who have so pluckily provided the sinews of war, and expended so many thousands of pounds in sinking the shaft, but also for the sake of the people of Coromandel, who have with 2ii enduring faith in the ultimate prosperity of their district stuck to it through the worst times.

Tokatea.—l have the honour to forward the following weekly report :—No. 7 Level —The country in the main level has not shown any improvement in the past week. Driving it lias continued hard, and at present lias not a very promising appear ance. The leader kept well defined to within the last 8 or 10 feet, but has since split up into three or four small seams of about an inch in thickness, and i tinning irregularly over the face. No. 1 Inter mediate.—Two levels have been opened out for stoping, about 60 feet under the Van; each of them is about 13 feet from the winze. In the one going east, 16 lbs. stone came to hand from the first breaking down, which was part of the patch met with in the winze. The quartz since broken out has not looked well, only a few colours showing in the stone in the one going west. The leader is small, and for the last 10 feet no gold lias been seen. As soon as these two levels are far enough in to be out of* the way stoping will be commenced. No. _ Intermediate.—The face in this level is being carried forward in a westerly direc tion. The country is very hard, which has pinched up the leader to a small seam of of quartz, and not looking well. The Battery has not been runniug long enough to form an opinion of how tho stuff will shape. Tributers. - Knox and M'Neill are putting a small parcel of general stuff and 95 lbs. of specimens through the Corby Battery.—John P. Hall.

Success.—The air pipes are being con veyed to the mine by Mr. McCartin, and when fixed will afford the desired venti lation to the low level, which has now reached the line of reef.

Blue Peter.—The manager reports that usual operations are proceeding.

New Union Beach.—Activity is now tbe order of the day in this mine, Mr, Carewis losing no timo in .getting things into working order.

At the Tiki, mining shows improve ment. Blaekmore's mine in particular shows encouraging prospects. The new section of the reef has been opened up, which it is thought will prove to be the richest; portion of tho flat lode followed having to some extent disappointed expec tations.

Home Rule.—A good reef is In hand in the low level, running in good conntry. A fine specimen belonging to this company weighing only 19 ozs was crashed during tho week for the rich return 9 ozs. 18 dwts, of gold.

MataWAl. -There is nothing fresh to report in this mine. The party working the adjacent ground (St. David's) have struck a reef they believe to be the Matawai" lode. Beyond Tiki another prospecting party are reported to have made a rich find. A find of metal resembling platinum has ceen made in the ranges near Waikaru Creek; a sample is being sent to England go be tested.

Smokers, whose lndnltrenoe in the weed la opntinnoue, should nee just such a cordial as Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam ahomatio SOHKAPPa. for thoso palpable reasonß: Tobacco drains tho salivary Rlandr and deranges the nervous organism. It ia a powerful drug, that tells on the strongest constitution. It Invites dyspepsia, heartburn, lndlgeßtlon, naußea, often bringing on tremors, and its fumoß Impair the vision. While this elixir maF obviate theaa results, It will certainly brace the system against lta pernicious efioo-" «•«»•«•
