COKOMANDEL, this day.

TOKATEA.—Tho mine manager reports on the morning of the 220 dof February:— " This week's report is not so encouraging as I had hoped it would have been. The reef mentioned in my last was in creasing in width and improving in appearance, which continued up to Saturday, and showing a few strong colours of gold "in each breaking-down. It then began to bicak, and Is now split into five small leaders. The one on the footwall ie aboot 5 inches thick, looks promising, and may carry gold any moment. The others do nott'look so well, but cannot be said to have a hungry appearance." LA.TESTJ

Yesterday afternoon the manager, Mr Home, received the following memo, from the mine manager t—" We have had the best breaking-down of any in the level from the 4in leader mentioned in the re port. About slbs of picked stone, and dabs of gold through the general stuff. The leader continues on the footwall about the same size.—JONN Hall,"

(By Tusleoraph.)

Thb Premier and Attorney General arrlvod at Hamilton from Te Aruhn, at 2 o'olook yesterday at tornoon. They pat up at G Wynne's Hotel, and In tha course at the afternoon were waited upon by a number of deputations. Subjoined are the brief particulars :— KIBIKIRIROA. Messrs Primrose nad Gilletc, of the Klrl blrlros Highway Board, pointed ont that this recent »urohaserß of Governmont land in the northern suburbs of Ngaruawahia, lor want of roads, were nnable to get upon their lands. The Government had sold some 2CO acres at an average of £10 per acre. Mr Ball Bald there was no fund one of whioh Governmont could Rive immediate assistance. The matter must be oae for Parliament to deal With. He recognised the J astioe of their claim, and would urge it on i he House. The deputation also complained that the rail way authorities failed to keep the outlets of drains open, Mr Hall promised to enquire Into this matter. He thought that the men employed on the per manent war should be told off to perform this W°rk' TUHIKABAMBA. Meagre Lang, Hadfleld, and We'ls, of Tublkara mea district, applied that the £350 xr&nt for the Hamilton-Tnhikaramea road should 'be Dald. Mr Hall expressed suprise that the money bad not been paid already, and promised to tele craph to Wellington about it immediately. Mr HadQeld remarked that another £150 would be required to oomplete the work, but iir flail did not think the Government could inorease the grant, TAMAHKRE AND HAUTAPU. Messrs W. A. Graham, S. P. Graham, Smith, Pearson. John Martyn. and Hosking. as repre senting the settlers of Tamahere and Hantapu. asked that a deviation might be made in the IJambrldfro-Hiunilton line, so as to bring it through their districts. The Attorney-General and Premier both Stated that this would cause at least six month* farther delay in commencing the construction of the line, and that unlera very grave reasons for the change could be shown it would not be agreed to. A petition, signed by tnlrty-flve settlors, was read in support of the application, Mr Hall finally said hi would get Mr Hales to make further inquiries. CAMBRIDGE. The same deputation, an'representlng the Cam bridge Highway Board, then pointed out the re quirements ciiHsed by recent floodi on the main road, and also on the Narrows road, amounting to £500 altogether, Mr Hall admitted the olaim of the main road, £270. but said that the Government could not asaiit in the repair of the Narrows road. HAMILTON. Tho Mayor and Councillors of Hamilton then had an interview. They first applied to have the Hamilton cart bridge made free. Mr Hall t.aid lc was simply a request for a grant of £7.009; that he would consider It when the Government proeeded to allocate the new loan, but that he could hold out no hope. The Question of the borough boundary, he said, was one purely for the Legislature, and with regard to the granting of 100 acres of the town bolt hitherto withheld, he promised to oom munlrate with the Minister of Lands on the subject. The subject of the railway workshops -wan then brought up, and the advantage of Hamilton as the junction point of several lines was urged. Mr Hall said that he did not think that hav ing a lame establishment near Auckland the Government could establish another at Ham- He promised to see tho Chief Surveyor -with respect to the want oCa standard survey, and also djnsented that Mr Hales Bhould see to tho ■rradSi of footpaths and water tables in the Vlotoria-street railway crossing. The question of the stoppages forhOßpltal and charitaole aid parposea frdm the Government gubsidv to the borough was then ventilated; the Relieving Officer wad accused of snubbing the M^Hall said that the Blopppges were made in aooordanoe Wlih law. but that if the Council would furnish him with the letter of the Roliev- Ing Officer, the matter should be investUated, as no Government official could be allowed O act as raprofented. CHUKCHHILIj. A deputation from Churchill, consisting of Meserß Brookes. Bell, and Graham, then advo cited tho putting of the punt in proper repair. It had been moved down from Te Hero, and was in a very dilapidated condition to enable settlors to met cattle upon it. ' , Mr Hall said tho matter was In Mr Rolleßton a department. He would see if they could not cot the request granted. There were no further deputations during the day. RKWI AND THB PREMIER. The Hon. Mr Bryce, accompanied by Rewl. Major Jackson, Major Mair, Mr Lewis, and others, arrived at Hamilton at three o'clock yes terday afternoon, , Kewl was then introduced to the Premier who expressed his pleasure at seeing him. Kewl replied that he had come for the speolal purpose of meeting Mr Hall. Some little time ago he was but as any other pakeha to him, now he was his friend. He had been prepared to fight out the battle of isolation to the bitter end. but when he saw Sir Donald McLean at Kalplha [a plaoa near Alex andra] he determined to make friends with the Knronoanß. He should have more so cay to Mr Bryoe by-and-by. What fee had to say was in reference to Mr.Bryoe's siylng that the motto " raihoa taiboa" was a bad one. He agreed with that, and thought the time has come when the Maori and jmliuha should take action to cement B union of friendship. I Mr Hall said he shou'd be glad to sco the chief again, and he felt sura Mr Bryoe would advise in the best interests of both races.

' This ended the interview,

According to the Pcv. George Woolnongh the average ministerial salary, in what are called the dependent circuits of the Wcs loy an Church is—all things included—£3o3.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.

A vkry sad story, that would rend the heart of the most callous, comes from Nillumbik, Diamond Creek, near Mel bourne. On the 16 January the dead body of ft girl was found in a water tank in the township, and on the following day an in auest was held cm tho remains. In evi dence it transpired that the girl, whose name was Susan Tuggart, had been a ser vant, employed by Edmond Picketr, of Diamond Creek. About iiye weeks before her death she had been observed talking earnestly to a man named William heddle, but this circumstance aroused no suspicion, as she, having refused to go back to her parents, resumed work at Pickett's as usual. On the morning of Sunday, 15th instant, she complained of feeling it). She remain e 1 in bed all day till 6 p. m. ; when she went to Mrs Pickett's room, sitting there till 11 o'clock. She then left apparently to go lo bed, but, as the sequel proved, she left the house, and committed suicide. In the morning the following letter was found in her room, udilroaged to her mother :—

" Dear Mother,—l now write, not with great pleasure, as I used to. Whon you get this letter it will find ma dead. It might be sad, but not very. I poisoned mysek because my lifo was but a misery to me this last three months, and a disgrace to you all, through him I havo loved, and this v tbe way ho treated me. 'Tis hard to die, only it might bo a caution to him not to treat another girl like he did me. I pity the poor girls that aro brought to misfortune like I was, but I forgive him for all that. Tho only thing lam worry is I can't say good-bye, and he did not think it worth while to come and see me. But I died broken-hearted, but God forgive me for what I have done. But, Mrs Pickett, bill is not to see me when I am dead. You have told me the truth in every way but it was no one's fault but my own. You have been better than a mother to me, because whon my own did not bother to look after mo, you did, Mrs Pickett. I got my ' gems ' taken last week, and you can give all my friends one, Don't forget to give William Bute Pratt and Don Mary a nn Lynch, one each and Mrs Pickett is to keep one for herself and Lizzy, and whon I am dead you will bury me somowhere where the bovß and girls will run ovor me, and I would like to have Tom, poor Joe, if yo can got him, and William and Donald to carry me up to the cemetery, aud Agnes and WiJly to look after my gravo. I have no more to say now, only it is so hard to die ; I only say God he p the poor girls that are brought to misfortune like me, but it was all my own fault, but it is so hard to die. for, mother, I only hope you will forgive me, mother. Well, good-bye for ever. God forgive mo for all I have done—l remain, your broken-hearted daughter, "Susy."

There was written across the letter : — " Do pot look for me j I have drowned my self."

CITY RATES.

(To the Rditor.)

Bib,—ln your issue ot last evening appears a letter noon the above »übjeot,«igned '■ Arnicas," in which certain inducements are held out to certain suburban dlatrlota to join the city, notably a proper system of drainage wtter supp.y, eoocpmy of administration, and share o( oity endowments Now. ilr, I shonld like to know with respect to the first, what will the additions to our rates ba it these boons are to be ottained i It cannot be tbat these gr»at blessings are to be obtained by our merely con necting ourselves to the olty, because I under stand that the olty at present is paying one BhllUng and threepence out ot tho two übiillngi in thu pound now levied as Interest upon the money expended in securing thes* blessings; and further, I should like to know what Imme diate prospect we have ot getting a share of the endowments, tor I nave b«en informed that whon the balance of the present elty loans Is oxpended-which will be very sbortly-the rental from endowment, with the rate, attar paying Interest upon loan, will barely provide for the ordinary lighting and cleaning of tbe city; and lastly, as economy ot administration as compared with on* highway system, perhaps your corn spondent will Rive m tha annual amount now paid to the officials, both for inside and outside work. It is very easy to make vagua statements suoh as is made In the letter referred to, but not in all cases so easy to prove them. There may be many reasons why we should join the olty. but let us know positively wbat our gains are really to be, and what s»crlfloos we are to make to obtain those gains. We must take care that we do not throw away our present advantages witnont some guarantee that these gains referred to by " Amions " shall really be ceoured.-Youra, etc, lUt^'axbb.

The original manuscript of the Book of Mormon is said to be in the possession of an old follower of Joseph Smith. He lives in Missouri, and he and his son believe that it is inspired, Tney do not believe in poly gamy, and long ago left the fold.

The gold shipped per s.s. Alharabra from Greymouth, yesterday, by the Bank of New Zealand was 3,826 ounces; the National Bank of New Zealand, 1,723 ounces; the Chinese, 170 ounces; total, 5,719 ounces. The various bands intending to compete at the forthcoming contest are practicing most assiduously. One of them did not suspend operations until an early hour this morning, much to the disgust of the denizens of Hobson. The extent to which the bandsmen practice individu ally, however, is really awful to contem plate. It is to be hoped that none of them will be assaulted before the (Jay of competition arrives. Threats of vengeance are pretty plentiful. Arrangements are, it is stated, now in progress for fitting the electric light in all tbe large vessels on board the whole of the armoured ships in tho Boyal Navy, the lengthened experimental trials carried out on board those vessels to which it has already been fitted having been of so highly satisfactory a character as to warrant the Admiralty in adopting the eleotrie light generally thronghout wherever oircum tances will permit of this being done.

MINING NEWS.

(FROM TBK "COEOMANDSL MAIL.") __

It is pleasing to be able to report steady

improvements from week to week in the appearance of mining matters. The Home Rule yield of 272 ounces retorted gold for the fortnight's crushing was an agreeable bit of news for outside shareholders, though it was not altogether a surprise to residents of Coroinaudel, as there is a general belief in the permanent richness of this mine. The return is certainly most excellent, and will materially increase the confidence in the district. The striking of rich gold in

the low level stupes confirms the belief held by many from the first that the reefs car ried gold down, and if the crushing con tinues payable and averages but half as well as hitherto, it will satisfactorily prove the great value of the mine. Wo should draw attention to the fact that the Home Rule have up till now crushed about 4,000 tons, and have lodged in the Bank one thousand and twelve ounces of gold, thus affording ample proof to satisfy the most sceptical a3 to the genuine worth of the mine. In the face of the slackness which

marks mining matters just now in the various goldlields of the colony, tho Tiki district may be regarded as one of tho most prosperous of tho lot, comparing its output of gold with the number of men employed. The Just-in-timo have mndo a fair start with sinking operations, and on Monday cut a new leader in the shaft, at a depth of about 15 feet. General interest is taken in this Company's operations, tho ground worked being highly esteemed, as it lias been only partially explored, and its thorough development at the hands of the energetic promoter of the enterprise will be a source of great interest. Striking of rich gold on tliis ground will infuse new life into the whole region round about, and not only will it give tho lona a merry start, but we shall again have the splendid

iln.nt of the Union Beach set in motion.

The resumption of operations on both these latter mines is of great importance, as it would be more likely to lead to speedy results if three companies were working in this rich locality than only one. Still there is every reason to hope that the operations started in the Just-in-time mine will prove successful, and put fresh life into the sister companies. The Kapanga workings are being carried on as usual, with good reofs m hand, looking likely for a rich patch any moment. In the Tokatea, tilings have greatly improved during the past ton days, gold having been seen nearly every breaking down, while the reef m the main level continues solid and compact, and gradually getting into position; it is only a question of time with this grand old mine. We •hall yet have to record large returns. The strong run of gold cut in sinking the shaft from the van level is almost intact, and it is impossible to say what that block alone will do for shareholders, and as yet it has not been penetrated, but, with the except tion of the small portion of the reef lifted out when the shaft was sunk, it is now intact. Competent jndges express com plete faith in the results to be obtained from working this section of the mine, while the gold seen in the face of the main level, though as yet in small] quantities, is confirmatory evidence of the continuation of the shot of gold ; and if, as the manager supposes, tho gold dins towards the big reef, there is a possibility of a great ana unprecedented run of gold being doveloped between the present face of No. 7 level and the point where gold was struck in the shaft. Splendid liauls of specimens ob tained by the Bismarck in the engine shaft, below the Van level, and tho rich gold got in the Tokatea shaft, sunk from tho same level just to test tho ground, arc almost positive proofs of the existence of rich deposits of the precious metal. The 6cm shareholders should also give their ground adjoining the Bismarck a fair trial below tho Van level, as some rich specimens were got in the faco wljeu tho Van level was first put in, and though no gold was got in two stopes carried along overhead, nor j in cross-cut, still, as the ground below the floor of the drive was not broken, into, there is a great probability of the gold being in the block beneath, which has not yet been touched, and tbcre is the prospect of equally rich stqne being obtained as carnc to hand in the adjoining mines on tlje same line of reef, below the Van level. Tho Royal Oak tributer (Sutherland) has. been fortunate in striking a good patch, as shown by the splendid result of the crush ing of 1J tons general stuff and 401bs specimens, which yielded 61ozs retorted gold. Golden Belt.—The specimen leader having divided, the wrong bianch was at first followed, and the rise was not carried through to the winze as soon as expected. The leader risen on showed gold, and may prove of value. The coarse of the rise has been altered, and the manager expects to hole through directly, when stoping opera tions will commence, and it is to be hoped Unit the best results will follow, as it is understood that gold was left on floor of winze.
