New Fixd embraces three licensed holdings I formerly known as Now Find Xo. 1 and Xo^ j 2, and The Lurk. The main showed gold freely on the outcrop when first clh« covered, and though comparatively little has hitherto been done, an enormous quan tity of crushing stuff was available, only j requiring to be shot down and sent to the I battery. The completion of the tramway ! has now led to vigorous work being started, ' under the management of Mr McLiver. A i drive has been carried in on the main reef about 90 feet from the crosscut, gold show ing the whole distance. A leading stope has been started, and regular breaking down will take place. Men are also em ployed on the surface block breaking down quartz, which is sent down the pass to the low level, and from there by a shoot to the hopper on the tramway. Ivo. 2 reef runs nearly parallel with the big reef. In pros pecting alontr the outcrop gold was found for GO feet. Several large blocks shot down have gold scattered freely over them, which looks coarser than the average and should shape well at the battery. A low level started from the tramway will give backs of 100 feet. A winze started ou the outcrop is down 10 feet, and when through to the low level will open a large and important block of ground. As the reef is about -I feet wide, unlimited quantities can be ob tained, May Qceex. — Good prospects having been obtained along the surface portion of the reef, a drive is being carried in from the tramway level, which will enable the reef to be worked advantageously. Diamond Gully.—A fair start has been made to develop the resources of this mine. Fifty feet of driving Ims been done in the Lig reef, and gold ot' good quality has boon obtained ; some very nice stones indeed were got during the Week. This mine adjoins the Xew Find. Arizona. — Prospecting work is being carried down on the .surface in hopes ot picking up some rich droppers from the main reef, which runs parallel with the Company's boundary. Mr Blencoe, the manager, has a nice-looking leader now in hand, about a foot wide, in good country ; a little gold U got by pounding the stone. and any day may bring him on a good patch. Alphabet comprises altogether ten former licensed holdings. It is well situated, having the WerahikoandWaitoki pn the southern boundary, the Pha-nu^ Welcome, and Inverness on the western. Work startel on the No. 1 reef some i' 2 months since, good gold being trot along the surface for 40 or ;>0 feet. A level was started, and when the reef was in hand the drive was carried along the footwall, tin; reef was cut into occasionally, and shewed gold at every breaking dovrn. A winze sunk 50 feet has opened up a valuable block of ground. MOA, No. 3 Rerf.— Thia is another im portant lode in the Alphabet Company'? property. Aiftor the outcrop had betri careful prospected with a satisfactory show of the precious metal, a low level was driven 140 feet on the reef, which improved as workedon. Fromtheappearance ot the stone it was believed to contain silver in very large quantities in addition to being highly aurifer ous. Mr Firth's attention being drawn to the argentiferous character of the lode, he tock a parcel to Auckland, which was treated at the J'ank of >,"<jv t - Zealand, the assay giving 1,400 ounces of silver and SO ounces of gold per ton of ore. A considerable amount of work has been done on No. !i, and there is now a tine block available for stoping. A winze baa been started from the low level, and in the stone coming out gold is clearly discernible. In this section of the mine v lot of surface work has also beon done, and several nice-looking leaders were opened up. P.—This is another roction of the Alpha bet mine, and has been well pros|>ected am' opened up. A drive waa pushed 100 ft. into the reef and some line ttono obtained. A trial crushing of 401bs. of stone gave 3oz. •Idwt. of melted gold, valued at £',i Bs'Cd per ounce, being about the highest price paid for gold in this district. A low level has been carried, in which cut the reef at 40 feet. Tho manager, Mr (ioldsworthy, has started driving both ways. In the last breaking-down, first elasj* atono was obtained, gold shewing freely throughout. OnFridaytne first truekloadof quart/, was forwarded down the lower grade of tramway to the hopper. This will be tho first stono treated. With regard to the expected yield, it in well not to say too much, as bank assays of .«mall parcel* are. no criterion as to tho battery yield. This fact, however, should be borte in raiad.that with such a magnificent tramway and crushing plant, if the reefs will average an ounce to tlio ton, they will bo dividend paying, and this must bo the aim of mine managers, to endeavour to make ounce stuff pay ; and if, after all, it gives sozs., bo much the better. Shareholders willnotob ject. IKVBKXESH.—This mino is well situated, when the tramway level is completed, will have every facility for forward ing stuff to the battery. Tho Inver ness stone diil'ers in character from tho Premier and many other claims, inasmuch as it is clear of tho black veins ; at any rate, the gold is clearly visible in the stone, whereas in the Premier it is confined to the dark patches, extending through the reefs of the latter. In making this comment, it is not depreciating the value of Premier stone, but merely by way of explaining the different natures of tho quartz. There is apparently a littlo coarser gold in tho stone comintr toward Wcrahiko and liiTerncss, but inthia early stage of the field's opera tions it is premature to givo a decisive opinion on the subject, for as more ground gets opened up in tho various mines now shots of gold will bo cut, which mity alter present appearances. Tho Inverness Company navo driven GO feet on No. 2 reef, obtaining a fair Bhow of gold throughout. Tho tramway level is to be driven by contractors, who will havo to go about 160. The price agreed to ho paid is 15s per foot. Tenders have also been called for the construction of tho hopper. Whon these two works are completed, tho mine will be well connected with the tram way and battery, and as an extensive section of tho reef will be opened up thoro will be no lack of crushing material. Caledosias. —Good coarso gold showed in stono broken out of No. 2 reof on Thurs day last. This reef runs about N. andS., parallel with and about SO feet distant from No. 1. A littlo more than a week's work has been done, and the show is veiy promising. About 25 feet has been driven on No. 1, which is 3 foet wide in good country, and ■ has turned out some ex cellent stone. Werahiko. —This is one of tho leading mines on the field, and judging from tho high quality of the stone coming to hand, it should rank high on tho list when the crucial test has been appliod to tho field and the battery returns are mado known. Of this and other mines we shall give a full report on another occasion. Kr/BEKA. —This mino will advance in favour now that arrangements havo been made by which the full benefit of its tram way and battery can bo had. It is well known that tlio Eureka is one of tho steadiest and best worked mines at To Aroha, has a good show of gold through the general stuff, and is favourably spoken of by all who have had an opportunity of in specting it, The WKIXTSOTOK and Wki.com k mines are to bo manned, operations to start at onco. They are understood to be in the hands of companios possessing a good rovenuo of £•100 and £500 respectively, Emily.—Two men are at work on a reef 3 feet wido, with very encouraging pros pects. Tlio ground is favourably situated, ami only requires developing!

Jingoes.

(To tho Editor.) Sm,—As there seems to bo somo doubt in the minds of somo of your readers and cor rospondonts a? to the origin of the term in its present application, I forward tho fol lowing extract from "History of Our Own Time, by Justin McCarthy :—"ln order to avoid the possibility of any historical mis understanding or puzzlement hereafter about tho meaning of 'jingo,' such ns we havo heard concerning that of Whig and Tory, it is well to explain how the term came into existence. Some Tyrtteus of the tap-tub, some Kiirner of the music-halls, had composed a ballad which was sung at one-of these caves of harmony every night, amid tho tumultuous applause of excited patriots. The refrain of this war-song contained tho spirit-stirring words :— Wo don't want to light, but by Jingo if we do. We've pot the ships, wo'vo got the men, wo'vo got the money too. Some one whoso pulses this lyrical out burst of national pride failed to stir, called the party of its enthusiasts tho Jingoes." Tho writer of this book is under the impres sion that the invention of the name belongs to Mr George Jacob Holyoako ; but he declines to pledge his historical reputation to the fact.—l ana, &c, H.H.

HARBOUR BOARD.— Yesterday.

« Fbeezixo CoirPAJnr's Reclamation.—A letter from the Marina Department stated that the plan? for the proposed reclamation near the Railway Wharf had been approved by the Govcrnor-in-Council, and it would now be in the power of the Board to grant a license for the occupation of the land in question. The Marine Engineer also drew j attention to the fact that there is no pro vision for the continuation of the mainftewer, which debouclfesin the angle formed by the Breakwater and quay to the west of it, and pointed out that the timber f-lip and booms used in connection with the railway for the delivery of kauri logs are embraced within the urea of the proposed works, and that a new railway slip will have to be erected before the present one can be removed. It was understood that the Public Works De partment intended as soon as possible to proceed with the construction of a new one, and lie asked the assistance of the Board in selecting and securing another suitable site. It was stated that the Board had nothing to do with the main sewer, and that the lessees, not being able to close the sewer, would have to carry it on.— Referred to the Works and Tariff Committee. Lifting Plant.— D. McLeod offered to supply the Board with an hydraulic lifting and hauling plant, the cost of which was £S.OOO, and the yearly working expenses £000.— Referral to the Works and Tariff Committee. Claim. —The branch manager of the Union Steamship Company made claim for damage done to the Rotorua in February j last through the crane gear breaking and ! allowing a boiler to fall on the Teasel's deck. —Referred to Legal Committee. Unsafe Hluk,—The Harbour-master re ported that the coal hulk Cantero is out of repair, unsafe, and quite unlit for the pur- I poses of a hulk. There i.s ereat risk, he added, of her foundering in the harbour in her present condition.—The Branch Manager enclosed certificate from Messrs Sims and j Kintail that the vessel was safe, and capable of holding 200 tons coal for six months. Necessary repairs would be made.—Referred to Works Committee. Brokehagk.—The Bank of New Zealand wrote explaining in referenoe to brokerage charge, and added that as the amount £302 I lO.s was hardly worth making further ques tion about, they had passed it- to the credit of the Board's account.—Received.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Charge of Alleged Perjury by Me Pre ferred by Thomas James North. (To the Editor.) Sin, —I ask you to publish this letter as a statement of the material facts and circum stances of this matter. I consider it my duty in regard to the interest of the public to make this statement. I shall make no comments on the conduct of the persona who liavo aided North in placing me in the position in which I now stand bei:ause of this action of his, nor any comments on the case. On the 22nd August last, North was com mitted for trial on a charge of larceny as a clerk to me, preferred by me against him, and he wag admitted to bail. On that day thsre wero other charges of the like kind pnding, but these charges will not now iorm subject* of inquiry by a magistrate, as yesterday afternoon two bills of indictment, comprising four charges by North of larceny, committed by him as clerk to me, were found by tho Grand Jury. On Friday last I was freed from arrest under a warrant issHcd on an information laid by North on Thursday last, by being admitted to biiil, conditioned for my appearance at 10.30 a.m. yester day to answer tho charge preferred against me by this information. Ting information states that I committed perjury i> giving evidence on the hearing on the 13th July last by the Resident Magistrate at Auck land of an information laid by me against North, but ifc does not stato the false statement made by me. There can bo no perjury where there is not a false statement made on oath. The averment in an information for perjury of tho false statement made by the accused is as essential to such information as the ayer ment in an information for murder of the person murdered. Thia information laid by North does not therefore discloseany offence. The information and tho warrant issued upon it were prepared by Xorth, and he has for weeks past been clerk: to Mr George Taylor Keetley, solicitor. I asked that yesterday morning should be fixed for the hearing of this charge against me, aa I, being the prosecutor in the before-mentioned bills of indictment against North, was most desirous of having any charge of perjury by me made by North investigated before any trial of the charges by me before-men tioned, and Mr Earl, solicitor, who ap peared for me yesterday, applied to the presiding Magistrate, after he had refused to dismiss North's charge against me, for the hearing of this charge to be held this morni.ig with tho samo object. If there were any ground for charging me with having committed perjury on the occasion mentioned in North's information, North could not be a witness at the hearing of such n chargo, and North wasnotpreventedbyhis having beon committedfortrial from appear ing yesterday to make a charge of perjury against me, and if he had been prevented from appearing I know of nothing having happened to prevent some other person appearing for him. The offence charged against mo is alleged to have been oom mitted on the 13th of July, Why has ac tion been delayed until the very week when North is to appear before the Supreme Court, t As I am a witness in that ease, this action may have the effect of prejudicing the minds of the jury by which Worth will bo tried at the present criminal sessions. I write this letter, therefore, and I ask that it bo published at once to prevent that. I think, also, that this letter should be published because the facts stated in it show that it is possible that a person hold ing a higher social position than I hold can bo at any time subjected to tho same wrongs that have been done to me, so long as there aro impecunious and unscrupulous persons and magistrates lax in their duties.— I am, &c, J. C. MacCormick. Auckland, October 2nd, ISS3. ♦

The Mataura's Frozen Moat.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—The failure which has attended the shipment of meat by tho Mataura is of sufficient gravity to warrant the fullest in vestigation into the causes of the calamity, as well as the most searching and temperate judgment on tho part of experts. The public credit is shaken so long as the matter i? in any doubt. We cannot, as you say, accept tho hypothesis that tho meat vras not properly treated at this end, and so turned out bad; nor can wo, on the contrary, as.'iuma that all was done here as it should have been. It is an old saying that there aro often faults on both sides; and it will probably be found that there was some neg lect here in tho handling of the carcases, and that mischief arose during the un usually long voyage which the ship made. It is admitted that the cargoes of frozen meat which are despatched by fast steamers generally arrive in good order, and commen aense people will argue from this that it is not safe to employ sailing vessels for such

perishable freight unless a quick pamaeal ;an be relied upon. If crack ships mehas those which were formerly employed in tho China tea trade, and which often ma lo an exciting ocean race in the endeavour^§ deliver their valuable cargoes within a given time, could be employed for*5 }! !e ' export trade in frozen meat, I (i-^ say there would be small H?k of failure, mid such n fiasco as has :ajj happened to the .M.itau'ra would be almost impossible. It is true that thi« frozen meat trade is comparatively in its infancy, and that some amount of failure in the initial stage,? is allowable or excusable ; but in the English market you have to encounter deen. rooted prejudices and reluctance to buy im portedmeat. The British ptiblicwon!t!ia\e it at any price unless it i-s iirstrate in quality and brought; to their very doors It is a fact that much of the mutton im'. ported from Australia and elsewhere jg "dressed" in a particular manner and palmed off as " Welsh." The meat could not be disposed of to advantage in any other way. When, therefore, it became known that the Mateura's cargo was rotten, and that the whole consignment was only tit for the soap-boiler, the objection to im-xirted meat would be intensified ; and wo mus* not be surprised to lie.iv that Xew Zealand " supplies will be rc/arded with su.-oidon and be quoted at abnormally low prices.^ It is 'to be hoped that steps' will at once be taken for dc?natc!iir l - another shipment from Auckland of prune carcases, and that the cargo will bo sent by steamer. Should this be done, and all ;ro well, Hiewani Dir prestige of the colony as a meat exporting country may bo recovered. The occasion iV one to arouse the energy and pluck of the Auckland people, ar.d if these are developed as a n.-.sultof the untoward circumstances attending the Matnura'is shipment, we.«h»U not smart long under the injury and morii fication just experienced.— ionre,'&e,, October 2nd, ISB3.

Amemberof my family was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatic gout, both 2 the hands and feet. The pain was most excra ciating. I suggested her using St Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to say the result was of a most satisfactory character. After ono or two applications the pain entirely left, and up to the present have had no return of the trouble. I look on St. Jacobs Oil as a universal panacea'for all kinds of aches and pains. I have advised I innnv of my personal friends to ffivo it a trial, ■ and have heard from them that nothing they had over used did them so much good. It is, without doubt, the only Household1 Hcmedy ot modern times, and 1 shall always keep a bottle within reach.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours faith fully, .7. R. Dkeivl-it."
