MINING NEWS.

A NEW find is reported in the Paul's Creek district, and a lease of eight acres has been applied for, which in some measure attests the value of tho discovery. There has been nothing Btartling from the leading mines duriDg tho week. The Tokatca lodged 12(3 ounces, chiefly obtained itom the low level. The manager of the new Corby arrived from Auckland during the week, and made arrang»ments for starting work. It is believed that payable stuff will soon bo obtained from this mine.

New Onit/<d. - This claim embraces the high ground on the eastern boundary of the Union Beach, and may be regarded as ono of the beat Bituated properties on the goldiield. The shareholders have been taking out a crushing from a fine looking loda. The work recently dono has been near tho surface, but after a crushing has been hud it is intended to carry in a low level, which, in another thirty or forty feet of driving, will, it is thought, cut the leader now worked on it a great depih. Some good picked atone has been obtained from the upper workings. Union BbACH.—The manager has re ported a second find of Bpecimens in the Green Harp leader in the seaward block, and Believes he has picked up the gold? bearing branch of the cress leader. There is a promise oi a good future for the mine. Plumbago Company.—The usual work is being carried on in the Plumbogo'mine. The manager has received instructions to forward half-a-ton per ».e. Coromandel to Auckland, which will be. sent on to Eng land for treatment. The stuff is now being nagged for shipment. Homeward Bound. — Tho contractors have made good headway, the country is easier, and the lode, which has bzen im proving of late every shift, showed a few colours of gold in the stone at the last booking down, with every indication of further improvement, as the stone contains large quantities of mineral, Matawal.—Vaughan's party have been busily engaged of late constructing the road from their mine.

WAIUHOR.—GaIo has succeoded in find ing a leader which, though at present small, contains heavy gold with every pros pect of making as driven on. Justin-Time.—ln starting work on No. 1 leader, at the bottom of the shaft some good stones were obtained. The crushing is proceeding satisfactorily. T.OKATEA.— The face of the main level has passed through the last crosscut. The footwall leader has carried gold throughout, and looks well. It will now be driven on into solid ground going towards the big test, tfifty pounds of picked stone came to hand from various faces during the week. The usual cleaning up resulted in a yield of 126 ounces gold from 82 tons and picked stone.

lOKA,—Good progress is being made with the new chamber which, is betas cut out at the bottom of the abaft. When this is done the truck will be got to work in the level, and the work of cleaning out the drive will proceed more rapidly, Suez.—Carew and party having laid in a supply of timber have been engaged sink ing during the week. BISIIARCK.—The tributers have crushed at the company's battery, and expect 120 dunces.

KAPAHOA.—'there Is nothing fresh to report this week. TIERHAN'B.— Somo good picked stone was got on Saturday from tne cross leadsr. Blackmorb.— Driving la proceeding on tho now reef, which prospects well. Standard.—Lodged 26 ozs. 2d wts. on Thursday, ,

BAND OF HOPE CON FERENCE.

A BAND of Hope Conference) was held in tho Tomperanco Hall last oveuint', Sir W. Fox prodding, la his oponing remarks, the chairman referred at length to the recent mclamcholy death of the man Tlvm Hardy, who, according to tha inquest, "diedfrom excessive drinking," Ho said the jury had brought in an honest and iruthful verdict. The man had been raardered — he had murdertd himself, with the assistance of others, by ex cessive drinking; jet not ono single remark was made in censure upon those persons who were accessory to bringing the poor fellow to his terrible fate. Such a record should induce them to en deavour still moro vigorously to pat down theie drinking habits,- and their businoss should bo to animate the young wth a horror of drinking customs. He urged that those individuals who had .J)eetf: accessory to Hardj's death ahonld bo punished. The polics should be placed in possession of the evidence whin, known that ptnons, out of their own m»uvlts, have proved thtrnselres tjuilty ; and it re mained for (he police to take steps by which these flagrant, impudent, and contumacious breaches of tha law m»y be puni»hed. The sympathy pi all »b.*uld be enlistod tor an effort to put down this liquor traffic; tho customer mnit be taictn from the pnblic house, and the natlic house from the customer, and the minds of the ye^ing should be established with habits of temperance. Powerful argument* against »trong drink wer« all Tory well ia their w»y, bnt tboy most be prepared to "do" as well as "talk."—Mr George Hemus also addressed the meeting pri*r to his ,departure for Eagland. Ho referred in very comrjlimestary ttrms to i,be assistance he had got from the secre tary, Mr McDormott, Mr J. M. French read an intereiting pnp»r «n "Band of Hope Work," and Mr J. H. Joees gave a "blaek-b»ard" address, numerous sug gestions weie made for the better carrying on of the temperance work. One speaker wished that tho gatheriiga sh«uld bo purely secular, but found llttlo snpport, while a suggestion that a " blue ribbon " army should bo formed^ appeared to meet with great favour. Repsrts from secre taries of various societies wore held over until a. future meeting. The meeting ter minated with prayer.

THE U.S. CONSUL AND MEAT PRESERVING.

(BY TELEGRAPH,— PBESB ASSOCIATION.)

WELLINGTON, this day. IN September lost, thePromier wrote to Mr Griffia, United State* Consul, who was proceeding to Americi, asking him if it would not inconvenieuce him to make any inquiries into the details of the Meat Preserving business which was carried on at Chicago,especially as to the cost of plant for making tius for compressing the meat, as well as expenses connected with eaßh branch of the work when a factory was in operation. A reply, dated November 11th, was received by last mail from a large firm in Chicago, in which they state it would bo difficult to give any detail Items of intertst without specific questions. However, they could say in general that, from their stand point, the chief obstacle to making business remunerative in .New Zealand would be the difficulty of marketing cuts of fresh meat. 1 Without thi3 market to render it pouible to dispose of ribs and loins, they thousht that the canning buainets would have to be carried on at a disadvantage. If tbo boit cuts of beef could be marketed, the canning bnsiness might be carried on profitably

CHRISTMAS-BOXES.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— Christina? is again upon us with its pleasant gatherings, reunions, and morry. makings bath in the social and family cirelo. Along *aa commemoration of this annual festival has cope dqjvm to us a custom of giving and receiving "(Christmas' Boxes," which la some of its features cer tainly does not commend iteelf to my judgment. I do not, of course^ refqr to those pleasant and most agneabla surprises which out little folks sometimes find in the osrly niorniig of Christmas Day, on putting on tbeir stoskitg, which some kind fairy or Santa Glaus has filled with a number ef beautiful little keeptakss which they have been wishing and longing for. No; Ido not refer to any sued kind, pleasant, aid gladsome reminiscences of happy Christmas time. But there is a feature of "Christ ntaa-Boxea " which & portion of the com munity may well look upon as little less than a nuisance. I refer to the custom of traders giving "Christmas boxes " to their cus tomers, lam sure the custom would be more honoured in the breach than the ob servance. From whichever standpoint we view it, whether from that of the tradesman or the customers, there is nothing to be proud of about it. I think if rightly looked at, it is humiliating on both sides. I will not .Insult either party by entering into par ticulars. I have beca both surprised and grieved to find that this, to me obnoxious, custom has travelled so far across the ocean from the old country, and has taken such a hold upon the community. My object in writing you, however, is not so much to find fault with this annual custom of " bid ding for onstomers " as to make a sugges tion. In doing so, 1 may first observe that so obnoxious have many respectable trades men in the old country found this custom of giving " Christmas boxoe" to customera that they, adopted a plan which should re deem them from the charge niggardliness, nud not offend a customer by treating one better than another. The plan was to reckon up the annual cost of the " Christmas Boxes," and then band a cheque for the amount to some charitable institution, &c. Mow, the suggestion I have to make w, that to put our Hospital on a firm, popular and self-sustaining basis—as shown in your excellent leader of this evening—the trades' men of Auckland who have been in the habty of giving " Christmas Boxes " in this way should call a meeting and olent a com mittee to solicit all the tradesmen of Auck land to give to this object the amounts they have hitherto disbursed in " Christmas Boxes." I have been assured, by a trades -1 man of this city, that not less than a thou sand pounds will be given away' in Christmas Boxes to customers by commercial traders here duriDg the forthcoming Christ mas. Now, if all these traders will each and all honestly add their proportionate mite to this sum, what a grand total it would be to form a nucleus of help to our hospital. I cannot think there is a customer in Auckland but would eat his " own Christmas cake or plum pudding" with more relish in feel ing and Knowing that he had indirectly contributed in some small measure to help to alleviate and soothe the sufferings of the sick, This fund might well be called the "Christmas Box Hospital Fund," to which, I think, many others would contribute. White makinp this suggestion, there is another which I am sure bag not been before noted upon here, viz., setting apart a Sun day at the churches and chapels, for collec tions for the purpose of forming a Hospital Fund, Will, some energetic reforming tradesman set about acting on this suggesj tion of thus appropriating Christmas boxes? — I am, &c,

He' would value their handsome present, and think with pleasure of the happy days they; | had spent together. Their little souvenir repaid him a hundredfold for the trouble he had taken with them, and he hoped that ttrey would remember that his dearest wish - gpuld always he to hear of their success,«', There were bright spots in a teachers-hie, ; and this was one of them. * '
