MINING NEWS.

(FROM TIIK "GOBOMAJfDEIi WAIL.")

Somewhat more than the usual interest has been shown in our mines for tlio last few weeks, several of them having got a fair show of gold lately, which has been rather a novelty, foremost among these being the Matawai, which produced nearly sixty ounces of gold from a parcel of picked stone and specimens. Some extra labour was accordingly put on to thoroughly de velop its resources. A level was put in from the road, which has been dnjpn along the reef for some distance, but is not yet up to the shot of gold got on the sur face. In the meantime a quantity of the surface staff was got out and sent to the mill and crushed, 29 tons for 85 ounces gold. Two other trial lots of six and five tons each yielded 8 ozs. 10 dwts. each. This, together with the 58 ozs. previously got, makes .1 very handsome total of IGO ozs.; and when it is considered that this is the work of some five or six weeks for two or three men it is a very handsome return in deed, and there can be little doubt that after the holidays more will bo got out.

BnicniT Smile.—Murphy and party, prospecting near the old working, cut a fine looking loader, which is expected to turn out well.

.IiTST-ix-TiME. —The manager lodged ■19 ozs. retorted gold from a crushing of six tons of quarts! taken from tlio No. 2 winze, including a parcel of picked .stone obtained from sarao. Tlio reef at the bottom winze is looking first-rate, but through bad air tlio men had to knock off to put up a rise in the .surface for ventilation. This will soon be accomplished.

■ Union Bkacti.— The manager reports a fine reef in the Venus drive, IS inches thick, well mineralised. Ho has also cut a nice loader while driving on the black reef, some two or three inches thick. No work has been done on it yet. Tiie intermediate level drive on the slide has cut the Green Harp loader, but has not yet proved its value.

Kai'AHOA got a splendid haul of very rich stone on Saturday last, and the minors have continued to take out good stone during tlio week.

Corby is making good progress in driving. Tho low lovel reef looks first-rate. They aro now rapidly Hearing the old shot of gold. Mnyn and party had a nice little crushing of three tons for 22 ozs. of gold.

Success.—A small quantity of very rich stulf continues to be got from the slopes. Gold has now been proved to extend a great distance.

Waitkkauju.—The United proprietors oi this claim crushed Ho tons for GSozs. ol gold. Waitokauri No. 2 (O'Brien tributer crushed 15 tons for a return of 21ozs. Tdwts.

Moa.nataiara EXTESDED,—A splendid class of sandstone is now in the bottom of tho shaft.

Adelajdb.— A crushing from this gave 21oz8. QdwtH. gold. Kuuunci Hill.—Two loads crushed by LeM»rquis, tributor, yielded 13ozb. sdwts. gold.' New Coi.oxial have a splendid leader in hand showing rich prospects, and judging from appearances, is likely to turn out well. Queen o» England arc driving in the main reef, and getting stuff worth saving for the mill.

Detached Squadkox and Enterprise aro also prospecting with fair show.

King Country.

(To tho Editor.)

Tho line plants which Mr Vollbracht brought with him from King Country are suflicient proof that we are able to produce a good leaf, and wo may say success to tho undertaking which will bo a boon and a good for tho country.—Yours, &c, Geo.

A Severe Burn Cured.

J. h. I'latswell. Esq., tho well-known Groeei in this city, speaka of St. Jacobs Oil as fair "Auckland, October 3,1883. "Messrs M. Levy and Co.—Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in recommending St. Jacobs Otr,, having tried it on a sevore burn and found it very efficacious.—Yours, truly, J. L. Hatswelx.

THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT.

• yiarenco uottage, "Thomas-street, Balmain "August 21,188 Publishers—Auckland Evening Star. "Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a severo attack of rheumatism in my back, which gave me no end of pain and trouble. I used St. Jacobs Oil, and in one or two appHcationa tho pain entirely loft. Since then I have had occasion to use tho oil on a badly sprained wrist, and Its effect was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in tho head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacobs Oil a valuable preparation, and Bhall not only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so. "I remain, dear Sirsjrour truly, "w. P. Booth."

MICHAEL M. McGIRR, ESQ.,

OF THETREEMAN'S JOURNAL, BECOMES A FIRM BELIEVER.

" Gontlemenr-I beg to honestly and truth fully give you the result of my experience after Using St. Jacobs Oil for a severe case of gout. I had been suffering for three weeks with sore ness and inflammation in the toes of my right foot. On Thursday last I hod to leavo my office and go home to bed. I obtained a bottlo of St. Jacobs Oil, and thought I would give it a trial, and aftor rubbing tlio affected part briskly for ten minutes, I got roliof. Koxt morn ing I again rubbed it, and from that time I havo been free from pain. Again, on Sunday ast, the same symptoms appeared in the left foot. I applied St. Jacobs Oil as in the first case, and with equal success. Having been a scoptio hitherto, I now eubeoribe myself a flrm believer in the efficacy good of St. Jacob. " Remaining, dear Sirs, faithfully yours, Michael M. McGibr,
