MINING NEWS.

(FfIOSI TUB " COROMAHDEL MAIt.)

A VERY good start has been made during this the lirst week of the new year. The manager of the Kapanga reports the strik ing of the lode at the bottom level obtoin ing yesterday a dishful of specimens. The leader is about 8 or 10 inches wide, the gold got is at a depth of 450 feet. The Bismarck were fortunate enough to break out a little parcel of picked stone. The Stanley started with good luck during the week ; the mine manager brought about 10 pounds weight specimens which were richer than Any previously got, he has also suc ceeded in getting a little gold in the low level. Good gold is also reported to have been found in one of the sections of the old Pride of Tokatea ground. Hope and many other mines have resumed work with good prospects. i

THE TIKI.

PerseVEEAXOE.— This mine has been steadily worked from the first by those pioneer* of tbc Tiki goldfiold, Martin aud Thomas McDonnell, who must bo credited with having shown not only industry and perseverance, but also good judgment. Visitors who go to see the works are unani mously of opinion that the mine has been opened in the most approved style, with due regard to permanent operations, and for the future economical working of the recfa. From the first the main reef has been tested as it was taken down, and has shown pood average prospects, with occa sional blotches of gold in the stone. The principal work done consists of five levels, which were respectively put in after abo.it a thousand feet of surface trenching and other work had been done along the cap of the lode, which proved the gold to exist throughout the entire extent of the lode. No. 1 level was driven a distance of 160 feet before the reef was cut. Since then it lias been driven on 80 feet, when a rise was put -up, and the leading stope carried along 80 feet. There are three- passes complete constructed in a substantial and workman like manner. Prom this level to the cap of the reef are 120 feet of backs, the lode averaging from 18 inches to 2 feet of crushing dirt. No. 2 level was driven 29 feet, and the reef cut through No. 3 level was in 50 feet before the reef was intersected, which at tins point showed i\ strong body of stone 18 inches wide. No. j 4 level was driven 56 feet before the reef was cut, the latter being 2 feet thick at this part In No. 5 level the reef was 3 feet through. Aftev cutting through the reef in the three last named levels no further work was done on the same, but previous to putting in the levelß gold was traced to the cap of several others. Small leaders giving fair prospects have also been opened up in other parts of the mine. In addition to the works mentioned, tramways have been laid, a smithy erected, a boarded paddock con structed to hold 200 tons of quartz, and other works showing the complete faith which these two miners have in their pro perty. There are 80 tons of quartz in the paddock, and it is expected that this will be augmented to 200 tons in another month or so. The mine is so well opened up that 30 men might advantageously be employed taking out crashing stuff. It is proposed eventually to carry in a main tunnel from the other side of the hill, which will cut all the reefs at a great depth, a tramway will be laid down to connect at a point near 'Herman's with a hopper which will enable quartz to be sent to the mill at a very moderato cost. The Perseverance reef is being worked in nice sandstone country, and there is no reason to think that cither dynamite or powder will be required for several years to come. Home Rule.—Work was in full swing on Monday last, and in breaking down the reef in the low level, the manager had the satisfaction of obtaining nearly a panful of picked stone. On knocking off work provious to the holidays there were about 80 tons general dirt in the paddock, and a couple of hundred pounds of picked stone. The manager expects to have 200 tons of quartz ready for the mill in the beginning of next month. A block of about 30 feet is now being stoped out, which had been left intact on Blackmorc's boundary. The low level now going in will give 170 feet of backs to the surface. The prospects of the mine are good, and the new year has been nshercd in with the most favourable auspices.

BLACKMOEE'S—This mino is the scene of the greatest activity. At the time of our visit this week 24 men were employed. The tramway worked well, and a con tinuous supply of quartz was being for warded to the battery. Sinking on No. 4 (or Home Rule reef) is proceeding with excellent good results, gold being Been in the stone at every breaking down, The reef is almost perpendicular, and is a good, strong, well-defined lode the whole distance. It must be very gratifying to the share holders of this and the Home Rule mino to learn that the gold continues showing so deep, the winze being 55 feet, while the last gold got in the Home Rule was 170 feet from the surface. Both these com panies are doing a lot of work on the same line of reef, and so far there is the most gratifying prospect of its being a good thing throughout. The crosscut going north in Blackmore'a on No. 4 is being carried along with a body of stone in hand 4 feet thick. This roef is bearing west ward, and may be expected shortly to junction with the flat reef.

Union arc working without any change requiring special mention, excepting that the country is somewhat easier. TIERNAN's.—The level driven on the new reef iB now in 55 feet. The ground wa3 easy working for the first 44 feet, when it got tight, but a change has again taken place for the better, and_ the manager expects to he in good country in a few more feet, when he will cross-cut right and left on the reef. It was along the out-crop of this reef skirting the road that the picked atone waa got previous to the holidays. Barrett's.—Prospecting work was being done during the week on a nice-looking leader which has not previously been tested. Its course is N. by N.E, Golden Belt are carrying in the low level toward tho old shaft, stripping the leader, but not breaking down as they proceed. The face of the level is about 2a feet from tho line of tho shaft, when this distance is driven a rise of 30 feet will bo put up, with this connection effected stoping operations will be in full swing. Atpresent the reef is about 18 inches wide. The manager experiences great difficulty in not knowing what best to do with, the quartz when he breaks down, The mouth of the level being on the edge of a precipice there is no space for a paddock. If the proposed road to the Matawai battery is made a bridge will be thrown across tho defile at the mouth of the tunnel, and a spot has been selected for the paddock on the sido of tho hill. It will be remembered that the level was driven past the Golden Gate specimen leader a distance of Over 50ft, when Captain Lloyd made the mining survey, and proved beyond doubt that the leador which was cut through and left behind waa the onesought. When Mr "Wilson took charge he started a crosscut and after driving a few feet on the leader it made into a splendid body of stone, and as previously reportca, half a hundred-weight of good picked stone was broken out. The bulk of the quartz taken down is now stored in tho drive (which was carried past the leader) and has not been selected, it is therefore impossible to pronounce as to the richness of tho leador beyond the fact that a fair show of gold is already to hand. Had the level been driven under the guidance of a survey this valuablo leader would havo been in hand months ago, and' its character would by this time havo lieen determined.

Little Nell.—Prospecting has been done lately on the surface along the course of the leader, and several small stones with gold are shown as the result of the work. This company are anxious to have the road constructed to the Matawai battery, at which they would crush.

All things considered, there are good grounds to hope for a prosperous summer; and as a number of prospectors are out in the vicinity of Tiki, there may at any time be a new discovery to record, as it is nearly all virgin ground.

A trial of reapers and binders at the Oatnaru Agricultural Show resulted: tho McCormick, 213 points; the Wood, 111 points; and the Osborne, 66 points. The McCormick therefore takes the gold medal of the association.

The overshadowing size and strength of Prussia, as compared with the other (states that compose the Confederacy of the German Empire, are shown by the recent budgets submitted to the Federal Council in relation to the Imperial army. The total standing force is 427,214 soldiers and-non commissioned officers, and 18,134 commis sioned officers. Of these the several States baye as follows: Soldiers and non-com missioned officers, Prussia, 380,629; Bavaria, 50,224; Wnrteraberg, 28,815; and Saxony, 27,606.

lynching aDefmuting Bank

Manager.

The Alternative Presented to the President ov Thbee Suspended Kansas Banks.

Caldwell, Kan., Nov. 30.—Tanner and I Danford, president and cashier of the sus pended banks of this place and Hunnewell, were arrested at Wellington yesterday and brought here last night. Soon after their arrival they were taken possession, of by a mob and marched to Fall Rock. Tanner broke down, and said that he would teJl all he knew. They were taken back, and Tanner made an affidavit that Danford had sold him the drug store he owned in this city, taking Tanner's note, with the understanding that the sale was for the purpose of defrauding the creditors. An hour ago the creditors sent one of their number to him with the assurance that if the money was not produced he might he sure he would not see daylight to-morrow. Dauford fainted at the announcement, and a physician was sent for. There is no doubt that he is thoroughly frightened. A party of thirty men, all well armed, came over from Huunewell to day. Their leader said that they did not come to iuterfere with Caldwell's arrange ments, but when the people here got through with Danford they wanted him, in order that he might explain about the dis appearance of Hunnewell bonds to the amouut of $16,000. Caldwell, December 3.—The mob has quietly dispersed, leaving Danford in charge of a detail of three. A committee of seven depositors was appointed to-day to carry on the conference, and a compromise will in all probability be made before long, Mr Cosine, one of the heaviest depositors, ad drossed the crowd last night, and said that if they lynched Danford they would not get ten cents on the dollar, but if they acted like sensible men they might get part of their money. This is the feeling of the heavier deposi tors, but the men who have 1 ttle at stake, urged on by the rough element outside, are anxious to lynch him, A party of men came over from Hunnewell to-day, and rode through the town armed with revolvers aud Winchesters. For a time it looked as thougk they would take Danford and hang him, but after long expostulation by the better element in Caldwell, they refrained, The rope has actually been around Danrtrd's neck three times. The depositors threaten instant death if any attempt is made bj the authorities to rescue him. Since a guard has been detailed, Dauford has been given the freedom of the hotel.

Caldwbll, Dec. s.—The bank failures were finally compromised to-day and the prisoners released. Danford, with his wife, and Smith, the cashier, passed up the rond to-night. The basis of settlement is not known positively, but it is regarded to be fif' y cents on the dollar in cash and the rest in one year.

THE " VICTORIA CANTATA."

TnE performance of Mr Caron's priise cantata in the Choral Hall to-morrow after noon, by the Montague-Tumor Opera Com pany, assisted by the Philharmonic Society, will doubtless " draw " a crowded honse. In Melbourne, when the work wm given, it proved highly popular, w»s very favour ably noticed by the presi, and " ran •■ for a lengthened period. It has never been Riven in New Zealand, and in this respect, there fore, the Auckland people will en joy an advantage which their fellow-colonists have not yet had, viz,, the opportunity of hearing and judging for themselves a composition whose merits both musical and poetical have aecured the flattering prxiie of competent critics. The argument i« as follows :— Part I. This Past.—ln tho introduc tion, the largo movement, with which the cantata opens, ia intended to suggest the original solitary condition of Victoria. This is followed by a double ttmpo, in which the theme, given by the wood and atringed in struments in unison, expresses the poet's idea of " Victoria aroused by voices which foretell the glorious future of the country." The same subject recurs in the pathetic bats song, "Now, on the Graeiy Plainß," at the commencement of the second part, depicting the gradual procesi of settlement. The chorut, " In Slumbers Deep," opens with an Imitation by the stringed instruments of the rippling of the surrounding «ea ; and. tha final chord ia given by the siogcrs with cloicd mouth, like a breath of Victoria amidst her sleep, or tho humming soundß of iatoct life,which eerve but tointooaifythe silence of solitude. The teuor solo, "O summer Land," with its accompani ment of strings and harps, again suggests the primitive boauty and solitude of the country. "On Thy Sweet Peace Intruding," a contralto solo, is of a dramatic character, nnd foretells the ap proaching charge in tho history of Victoria. £ his idea is still more clearly brought out in the soprano bolo, "Then, Fair South Land," and the quartette and chorus by which it is accompanied. In the men's chorus, " Our Northern Hemcs," the voices of mariners aro heard as they mako their way across the ocean j the varied aspects of the sea in storm and sunshine are represented, and the number closes with a joyou* strain as tho voyftgeri' eyea are gladdened with a eight ot the " Golden Southern Land."

Part |11, The Present.—ln the pas torale for the orchestra, with which the second part commences, Victoria appears as a prosperous and peaceful settlement. The recitativn and bass sontj, " Now, on the Grassy Plains," has already been referred to, The joyous approach of nymphs, representing the various nations of tho earth, ii illustrated by a chorus of femals voices, "From Distait Shores;" after a while the male voices gradually take np their parts, until the acclamation, " Queen oftheSouthernSes.v' becomesgeneral. The soprano solo," O, Golden Day of Glory 1" (entitled by tho author, " Victoria's Song of Welcome,") is of a descriptive and dramatic character. The assembled nations pre sently join in the song, and finally burst forth in a jubilant grand march, "Wave, Wave your Silken Banners," for chorus, quartette, and orchestra. The cantata concludes with a general hymn of thanks giving to the Almighty. M. Caron will conduct in perion. It may not be amiss to state that the cantata will be preceded by the composer's Grand Inter national Selections, consisting of the French, German, Austrian, Italian, Eus sjen, American, Belgian, and British National Airs, and concluding with " Rule, Britannia,"
