MINING NEWS.

lonA.— The contractors are lowering the columns into the shaft, and expect to finish in about ten days, when the company will be in position further to develop this splendid pro perty. KAPANGA.—Clearing up for the month gave a return of 179 ounces of gold. Paul's Creek Prospecting Associa tion.—This enterprising association have de termined to carry on work on the reef from which the late yield of 3 ounces to the ton was obtained.

Colonial.—Good progress is being made with the work, but at present there is nothing to be seen in the stone,

Mohawk.—Bigelow and Long are making every effort to get their battery erected. The adjoining ground is being pegged off. Royal Oak.— This company has received tenders for driving from the van level, a dis tance of between 200 and 300 feet. The lowest tender was that of Mr Ross, at 26s gd. per foot, which was accepted, and this im portant work will be commenced at once. Success.—The magnificent yield of 2170 ft. of gold from 781bs. of specimens was a pleasant surprise. 50Ibs. more specimens were lodged in the bank," and a little more rich stone has been coming to hand at each breaking down.

Golden Butervly.— Howell and Kidd got some nice specimen stone in sinking a winze, and a number of miners were attracted to the locality by the news of the find, which it is to be hoped will prove to be a permanent and rich run of gold, '7 Homeward Bound are driving on the reef to open up a block for stoping, Lanoford and Party are. going ahead with their important sluicing operations,

SOUTHERN CROSS OIL SPRINGS.

A O'BBKSI-ONDENT writ.ci:—On the 18th inst. I visited the Southern Cross Petroleum Company's ground, JKotokautuku block, and was rather astonished to see the works in first-rate order, and everything going on iu a business-like manner. Operations have been carried on night and day, While Lwas at the mouth of the shaft the first bucket of stuff I saw come up was a kind of light blue papa rock, mixed with water, and oil floating on tbe top. The next bucket came up shortty after, and was the papa rock saturated with the oil, but with no appearance oi water. These buckets, I shtuld say, would hold about twenty-five gallons. I stayed at the works ab.ut two hours, and while there I got two bottles of the oil which was taken from the stuff that came out of the shaft. The sbaft is sunk down one hundred aud forty feet. Un the 19th in.t. tho papa rock was Retting h.rder, and there was a kindjof muodic mixed with it. On. tbe 21st inst. the shaft was down 150 ft. Uock still getting bat der. The two bottles oE the oil 1 have sent you to make wk.it use you think proper of. These 0:1 Sprttg. are about one hour's ride from Tuparoa settlement. It is a good road, aud the dis tance from this _et tiem.nt to the works is about six and a-luilf miles, We sh&ll _oca bave a good dray road, as the Government started the natives to work on it on the 23rd inst., and this road when complete will be a great boon to the South.m Cross Petroleum Company, It runs straight, or nearly so, for four and a-balt miles, to the Waiapu Rivor, aad whea you cross the Waiapu River you then come to the com pany's ground, I suppose ia about four woeks from the 23rd inst., a dray will be able to get easily from Tuparoa to the oil springs. The company havo had to pay tho Datives heavily for going over their land from Awanui to th* Eotokautuku, a dutance of about 12 or 13 mi!0 1,. besides being a bad road. Iliis road from Tuparoa will open up a fine country boU for Gorersment aud leasehold hind ; also laud that has not been through ths Native Linda Court tint is held by ths uatives. The works at the Southern Cross ground are stopped at pres.nt for want of iron bands, which are expected daily.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACT.

■■*)_■•, ' ♦ A MEETING convened by advertisement for tho purpose of forming an association for the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Act was held last evening at the V.M.C.A. rooms. There were about fifteen persons present, and Dr Kenderdine occupied the chair. The following resolutions were carried:—"That there be now formed an association to be called the ' New Zealand Association for tho Repeal of the Conta gious Diseases Act,' and that the following gentlemen be'members of the association and form a committee, and have power to add to their number :—Messrs Jas. Davis, JK. H, Hughos, Dr. T. B. Kenderdine, John Brame, Rev. Peter Mason, Dr. J. Wallis, T. McMasters, W. McCaul, N. McMilan, W. H. Hazard, W. Service, T. Prosser, D. Goldle, P. Coombes, and Rev. T. Buddie," "That this meetlngstrongly disapproves of tbe recent aot of the Mayor and Council in bringing into operation here the Contagious Dise.se. Act of 1869, snd is of opinion tbat every effort should be made for tbe repeal of the said Act."—" That the system of police surveillar.ce and medication of prosti tutes has been a failure wherever it has been tried. That the Contagious Diseases Act was secretly and surreptitiously introduced here. That it involves a dangerous violation of justice and cons', itutional liberty, by boing one-sided aud applic able only to women, by punishing women 'without trial, and by giving the police despotic power and making iJiem the irresponsible custodians of private mOrals and public liberty. That it encouragos profligacy, and gives to the traffic in pro. iligacy the status of a lawful trade, thus corrupting the public conscience; and that it is opiosed to the law oi God, and to every principle of ju6tioe, freedom, and morals. - ..

TESTIMONIAL TO DR. PHIL SON.

A mebtinq, convened by the Mayor in re* spouse to a requisition, for tho purpose of taking etepß to give the public an opportunity of expressing their appreciation of Dr. Philson's past services, prior to liisf retirement from hi. position as surgeon to the Auckland Hospital, was held yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, Insurance Euildings. The meeting place was crowded to its ut most capacity, i - His Worship the Mayor (Mr J, M, Clark) presided, and in opening the pro ceedings he briefly stated the object in view, besides speaking eulogistically of tbe services rendered to tho community by Dr Philson, He also stated tbat it had been suggested that the subscriptions should be limited to a small Bum like 2s Cd, so as to give all classes an opportunity of contribut ing alike. - Mr J. R. Russell spoke to a somewhat similar effect.

The Mayor then proposed " That a testi monial be prepared for signatures, that half-crown subscriptions be invited from the, public, and tbat a committee be appointed' to collect the said subscriptions,"

Mr Firth, in a fervid Bpccch,se_ondedthe motion. He eulogised the services rendered by Dr Philson, and in making especial reference to the doctor's isolation of himself' with patients during the small-pox " soare ", several .ears ago, declared that the act was one which merited tbe_ Victoria Cross -the' guerdon of distinguished courage and brav.ry. . Mr Firth concluded by protesting against limit to the amount of subscriptions being stated. After some discussion, the latter part of the motion was withdiawn, the following being passed as the resolution:—" That a testimonial for presentation to Dr Pttileoa, be prepared for signature," Mr Firth then proposed, "That sub scriptions he invited for the purpose of ■ presenting a t.stimonial to Dr Philson,'in: memorial of h's long aod valued public services to the sick and afflicted of all classes.'' - ... ,

Mr Peacock moved as an amendment— "And'to enable all to join in-this ex pre-rion of public feeliog, that the sub scription be limited to" 2s od." Captain Daldy and Mr Firth oppo?ed the limitation of the subscription, Every one should be allowed to give as he pleased. Mr J. B. Bus.ell remarked that a gen tleman had told him tbat he would maKe oue of 20 to pieient Dr Philson with a.car riage and pair aad to pay him a salary of £200 a year.f .r life. Air Lamb suggested the raising of a_ bur sary-to perpttuate the name of Vr. Philson, or tbe founding of a chair in tho University, in his name. 1.

Mr H. Keesing spoke In highly laudatory terms of the value of Dr. PhiLon's cer vices, and the love which was felt for him by the people generally, Atter some other gentlemen had spoken, the amendment was negatived, and the resolution carried.

The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to catry out the object of the meeting:—Messrs Buddie, Russell, tor kins, Edson, Pbillipps, Firth, McMillan, Buchanan, J. P. King, Peacock, _ attray, lamb, C. A. Harris, Holdship, Shalders, Ewington, Macffarlane, J. M. Sacra, G. P. Pierce, and Stark, the chairmen of High way Boards and Majors of Boroughs, with power to add to their number. Mr F G. Ewington was appointed hono rary secretary. A v_ te of thanks to the chairman termi nated the proceedings. _~..'" ~.„,

THE OTAHUHU LOCK-UP.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Permit me to complain of what I consider a gross piece of cruelty on the part of the police authorities. The lock-up at Otahuhu is not in a stats to confine bigs In, yet unfortunate human beings are kept ■there for nights and days. 'Ihe roof .is rrotten, and the rain comes through it like a sieve for- the last two years. I writ. for the purpose of suggesting that the t placo be closed (locked up) until the roof is repaired. I have heard that the constables represented tho state of the building to no purpose. The place is literally a water-hole when it rains, Two unfortunate men have been afflicted wit rheumatism ever since they were confined in this dreadful dungeon. Can they have no redress ? Yours, &c„

Humanity.
