MINING NEWS.

[FaOM THE COHOMAMDSL MAIL.] i f< .|d The general aspect of mining matters is , o satisfactory throughout the field. Several a leading mines are shaping well for a steady ! c output of gold, and otherß are opening up c important blocks of ground, from wnich t good return* are confidently expected j The improvement noticeable is not conlincd , r to any particular locality, but is observable ' I in the three chief miuing centies, viz., c Tokatea, Beach, ;and Tiki districts. a Success.—The manager is making as (j rapid progress a^ postible in stopiog the c block on the main reef south of the rise. 8 Tbe reef has shown gold as far as worked, j and 121hs. of specimens have already been t obtained, The next stopo is cxpecttd to turn oat very well. In the north s ope there are v«ins of quartz breaking into tnc footwall eide of the reef, which looks dis turbed in consequence, bat otherwise pro mises well for gold. lona. —The leader has been cut in the drive put in from the bottom of the thaft, ' aud a little gold has been put in the stone. , a contract has been Jet to drive the low . level a fur;her distance of 100 feet west, at ' Hi per foot. In consequence of the hard ground met with up to a short distance of the present face somewhat slow progress ' was made ) buc the ground is now greatly ; improved. A sample of the stone got in ; the floor of P o 2 Was shown in town and ; was thought highly of. Mohawk.—Work is being done on the big reef, A parcel of 25 tens was being ptt t'rouiih the battery when the machinery tro<edowD. Bismarck.—The tributcra have only a few feet fnrth-r to rise before breaking through to the iuteimediate level, when a aplendtd block of ground, at least 120 feet above the low level, will be opened for stopina. From tbe upper workioga they have obtained 1301bs. of picked svon-, anu abiut 30 toas of general stuff A btart will bo made n-xn week to sink from the van lev J od a leader running parallel with the mala rtef. The tributers will open out on this reef at a distance of about 50 feet from the Tokatea boundary. JUST-IN-TIMS. — Th» manager report* about 20 tons of quanz in the paddock and 30'1)3. or 40ibs. of picked S'one, to hand, obtained chirfly from No. 2. The manag»r has had uaoilier week's delay waiting ior the now wheel, which is necessary for tni further sinking of the shaft. Tikunan's.—A pared of seventeen tons of quaitz was crushed at the Tiki battery for the payable return of 53 ounces retorted gold. '1 he manager expects to be able to turn out an equally Rood, if not better, parcel of stuif for next crushing. VSW i BfiACH, — The manager has started to sink tbe winze again below the 80-feet level underneath the old thot ot gold. Tbe drive from the bottom of the TaDgye wirze is driven 53 feet on a fine looking reef for car.ying gold, nine inches thick. The last six feet has gone through a quantity of quartz vtins, dipping the same as tk« blade reef, which latter appeals to be now in the face The leadsr looks well, and is in splendid country. JVEW CoHBJ"-—Good progress is being made in driving the bottom level from the shaft to cnt Scotty's reef. Work is also going on in Ihe upper level. SOUTH Kapanoa. — The shareholders are sinking tbe winze on a two-feet reef, dhowing good gold occasionally in the solid clone. • . , . . , MATAWAI —The proprietor lsdetermmed to work tins mine with energy. The ex» cellcnt yield fr»ra »he first crushing gives him evrry encouragement to further de velop the reef, which looks well, and ii in splendid country for gold. Qoldbn BELT.—This mine t!eed to occupy a hi^h poaiiion in public estimation, Taflfr*a?;rgbekJpMock of stuff has long i- been halting tiansmission "to the batteiy, 0 the crushing about to take place at tne 1 Emily battery will bo watched with m< 0 terest by shareholders ; and if the result is ii satisfactory it will lead to further opera -1 tI°BLACKUORE.-Tte battery has started o on a large paddock of general stuff, Xberc has been a better class of stone coming to 0 band of l.te, nnd it is hoped the returns r will prove payable, and bring the company once more to the front, as it has been in the background a,considcrable time. Wakeioe.—This claim is situated next 'to the Mauwai. A reef has been dis covered from which, a sack of staff waa CfUfhcd dndng the week at the Matawai battery, givi»g the handsomn return of 2ozs. sdwts. melted gold, being at the rate of 16oZ'. to the too, This should prove a regular fortune to the shareholders, the gold realuiog the high price of £3 per 3 ounce.

ANGLICAN CHURCH SYNOD.

- (By Telegraph.—Press / ssociation.) ; NaPiEK, Friday. The Synod to«day relaxed the rules of tho . Board of Theological Studies bo far as to permit candidates in grade four to pasa the ' grade in two examinations in successive years, Dean Jacobs opened the ball on the Deceased Wife's Sister Marriage questioD, contending tbat, by tbe law of the Bible, the Caaonn of the Churcb, and the example of the Primitive Churcb, these marriages were sinful. His speech was inttrrupted by the afternoon adjournment. ' The Synod. to-nic;ht, passed the Bill, '« making all licensed clergy electors of clerical ropresentitives to the Synod, The same Biil ' also provides for election of representatives two montbs before the mfciing of the Synod, instead of about six months, ss hitherto. The Synod aUo pasted a resolu tion, providing for distribution, for dena ture, of the petition for aid for denomina< tonal schools and Bible re»ding in State .'. schools. Two clauses deal with the latter; \, tho first proposes to open schools to minis ters of alt denominations to give lesions to \ children of their respective denominations; the second proposes to give local commit tees • power to order specified portions of tcrip« ture to be read in school during school 1 hours. The rest of the evening was spent in discussing the Bishop of Waiapu'a Bill o for settling differences between paßtor and " people. __■

MR. STOUT ON POLITICS AND POVERTY.

B • ' (BY TELEGEAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) DUNEDIN, Friday. ' Mr. Stout delivered his address, which i was entitled " Politics and Poverty," to a ''. large audience, in the Lyceum, to-night. r It was principally a criticism ef Major ;! Atkinson's scheme. 'Ihe ground taken hy i 1 Mr Stout was that the scheme was a gigantic >, special tax, which would fall heaviest on '• the workiDg classes, and he pointed out F that while the present property tax yielded £156,000 yearly, the proposal of Major c Atkinson would resultin the receipt of close !? on a million a-year. He pointed out' also, * one strong obiection—tbat compelling a j' weekly payment from youag people of sixi * teen and eighteen, would have thu tendency ot sending them earlier into work, and thus depriving them of nieber education. He urged that the State should iutereferc less and less with the individual; that there »as no royal road to the prevention of povetty ; that the only way to les-en pau perism whs gradually educate mankind to live better; to do away with the ciuues of c poverty; and to socially and morally im prove themselves each. A special tax, as i proposed by the Colonial Treasurer, could 1 only prove a compleio failure. h ■

Secretary, m»o tern.: J. C. Borger. The object ol! this Company is to provide ton nago suitablo to tho Krowing trade o£ the Port ol Auckland, so that the imports and exports of our city may bo as much as poaaiblo carried In Locally-owned vessels, and tho shipping business curried on by a ruuiSLY local com pany. Tho rates of freights ourront iti this colony comparo most favourably with thoso ruling in lici«hL>ourinji co'onies, and are, as a ruld, soiiloiently rcmimoratlve to leave a good proilt, trading henco either foreign or intercolonial. Tho acknowledged daily increasing commer cial importance of Auckland Is a source of gfaUflcation, aDd the shipping trade, under skilful management and with sufficient capital, would meet with Bpefldy nnd great develop' niont with many part 3of tho World with which wo are at proaont not in absolutely direct com munication* Tho object of tills Company is to provide ves sola to trade In the directions nlroady opened, and othors which may from time to time offer inducements. There is tuiiplo room for a well-organised now lino between Auckland and London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with NoW York* and with some of tho larcor centres of Continental European ti'atio. Of course, tho lartco und incrousiuK export o£ bulk and sawn timber will form all important adjunct. A trade with Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, &c, being al ready established, could easily be continued with regularity, whilst thoNewcaStle and Groy mouth coal trades uhould bo also provided for.
