WATER SUPPLY AT NEW- MARKET.

The Ratepayers Decide to Join', the Cit)/, A M .dsratbly-Attknped meeting of the residents of Newmarket, was held last even ing to consider the best means of obtaining a water supply for the district, and of effect io£ drainage, Mr F, G. Clayton, chairman of tha Highway Board, presided, The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said thoy- had met to consider the beat moans of having water brought to their doors, and of effecting proper drainage. £ a the Highway Board works were constituted at proaont, it bad no power to borrow money, Messrs Seccombo and the City Council were willing to supply water, if the mains were laid down, but tho Board had no money to pay for these works. Some means must thorefore be devised to raiee tho necessary money. !Mr Bishop, one of the requisitionists, moved "That a system of water supply and drainage ia urgently required in New markot Highway District." Ho pointed out that water was urgently ncurled, both for domostio uses and as a p.n vontative | against lire. The amount of ex-ra rates, would bo compensated for by ;rtdiced fire premiums. Then, again, tho district hud tho reputation of being a " fev»r hole," and : he was of opinian that proper and t-tlectivo drainage and a supply of water would havo obtiated much of tho sickness of last year, while tho doctors' fees would have more than paid tho extra rates. Mr Morgan seconded the motion, which was put. and carried unanimously. Mr Bishop then moved, " That the best, cheapest, and most expeditious method of acquiring a system of water supply and permauont drainage, would bo by junction with tho City of Auckland," The mover pointed out that their income under the Highways Act amounted to £300, £200 being from rates, £100 in licenses, &c, Labour, commission office expenses, and a few othor items absorbed the whole of the amount, and thero was no money 1-1 to construct now roads or carry out drainage or other necessary works. Mr Bishop enumerated several roads that required to bo mado, but there were n» funds to allow of their being undertaken. Tho subßidieß from the Government had totally ceased, and thoy were consequently forced to consider Bomo batter moans of managing tho dlstriot. Of course thoy could form themselves into a borough, but he thought it would bo bettor to join tho city. Next year they would be 1 compelled to strike a special rate, waile under tho city tho rates would be loss than at present. Tho city had better and cheaper facilities for borrowing than they would as a borough. Ho also stated that the cost of laying the nec«_sary water mains would bo £2,000. A„ a highway board they had no power to oentpal to connect with the main drains, and although £200, a whole year's rates, had besn ex pended in a drain in Newaarket-street, very few soople rued it, Under the .trough system nuisances would be ob viated, and new streets would require to be mado proper width, Mr Jamas Mason seconded the resolu tion.

Mr Tonka, who was not a ratepayer of Newmarket, was allowed permission to ad dress the mooting. He wished to point out a few fallacioß in the address of Mr Bishop, That gentleman told them that tbe rate in the city waa 9Jd in the £, and that their one shilling rule would net enablo them to got necessary works dene. If they could not,how oould thoy get half-a-crown's worth of work dune for ono shilling in the city, which had many works in largely-popula ted districts to attend to T If thoy paid 9_d in the £ rates here, they could depend upon it that very little more than the amount raited would be spent in tho district. There had been an idea mooted that tho dis tricts of Newmarket, Epsom, One Tree Hill, and Remuera should be for med into a borough, and they would form a very presentable oso. If this idea wero carried into effect they oould borrow money to provide a water supply, while drainage, whioh was only required in New market di.trict, could also be effected. This, ho thought, would be the most dc sirablo change under the circumstances. Mr Hogg considered that Mr Tonka did not deal fairly with Mr Bishop, That gentleman said that Mr Bishop expected balf-a-crown's worth of work done for o»e shilling. This was not so. Mr Bishop said it they got water within 100 yards of their promisss they would have to pay an extra shilling for it. At ono time, he opposed junction with the city, but he was now almost converted There was scarcely a drop of water to be had from one end of ot tho district for lore or money, Thoy had repeated swarmings in tbe past, and if thoy. did not provide water, fever would viait them again. Ho preferred tho idea of joining the city to the other proposal, which was a rather old one. If they did form a borough,it was true they could borrow money, but they would got very little of it Kemsera wosld look after her share, and One Tree Hill too. Be thought the city would be the rae-t likely to treat them fairly. The resolution waa put to tho meeting, and carried by twelve to four.

Mr McNeill moved, " That a committee of four be formed to devise means to have the previous resolutions oaniedinto effect." He also moved that tho Chairman, Messrs McColl, Jenkins, Bishop, and the mover be tho committee to coileet information, prepare a petition in favour of the junction of Newmarket with the city,obtain signatures and forward it to the Governor tor the purpoao of carrying ont tho previous reso lution." He ventured the statement that there were numerous stenches in the district so thick that they might almost " be cut with a knife" Water was greatly required for various purposes. Mr Ball seconded Mr McNeill's resolu tions, which were put and aarried.

Mr McColl, who announced his intention of "airing an eld grievance," drew atten tion to the necessity ef a fire-alarm. Ho referred to tho fact that recently the resi dents of Onehnnga were quietly sleeping in tkeir beds while property was bein,, des troyed by thousands of pounds worth. At tbo last great fire in i? ewmarket tho majority of the residents knew nothing about it ttfl next morning, He did not know if t. ey could get a small engine yet, but they might at least havo a fire-alarm on tho rerarye. He moved " that tho Board be empowered to devots a sum ol money not exceeding £10 to provide a fire-ball if the Inenranee Com panies would also contribute." As local agent of the New Zealand Insurance Com pany, he felt sure that the Company would willingly contribute towards the object, Mr Morgan seconded the resolution. Whioh waa catrled uaanimonsly.

At this stage of the meeting, Mr McNeill said the proposal to join Emuera, New market, Ono Tree Hill, and Epsom, into a borough, was not a bad one, and was cer tainly feasible. He would like to see the supporters of that idea 'hold a meeting in support ef it, or inaugurate a counter petition. Mr Clayton said a further meeting of the chairmen of the four Highway Boards Interested would bo held in a tew days, when the boundaries would be considered, and a public meeting of ratepayers con vened subsequently to consider the whole matter. If tbey went into the city tacked on as part of Grafton, the representatives of that district would swamp them, and they would get but scant justice. Mr McColl said the arg.ment would cut both ways, and thoy would get very little consideration from Remuera. He believed the interests of Newmarket, Epsom, Reinuera, and One Tree Hill were not identical, and as they required many works to be carried out, they should go in for joining tho city.

A vote ot thanks to the Chairman con cluded the proceedings,

MINING NEWS.

[FKOM THE " COROMANDEL MAIL,'1]

Tho bri.k spirit with which mining ope rations have been resumed speaks well for the faith miners have in their various claims, and in addition to spirited individual efforts, there arc several large ventures which should during the coming year turn out a lot of gold. The deep mining opera tions which have been carried on for some time by the Kapanga will this year be vigorously supplemented by several others, chief of which are the Union Beach, lons, Just-in-Time, and Corby. _ The former company ia now engaged testing tho ground below the 180-feet level.' The lona will work from a depth of 180 feet to cut the Union Beach reefs. Tho Just-in-Timo bas arranged to sink the shaft another 100 feet; and the Corby start as soon as the engine ia in position to drive a cross-cut from the old Princess' shaft at a depth of 180 feet to cut Scotty's retf (the old Corby lsader), All these workings are going on in rich lo caliiies, and there is almost a certainty that ono or more will be paying dividends, and infuse fresh life into mining matters on this goldfield.. ..-'_-_ t TOKATEA,— la bringing into the floor oi the No. 7 level, preparatory to sinking a winze, some good-looking stone was taken cut, showing gold pratty freely. In the small leader branching into the main level ahead a little gold is a'se showing, but nothing particular is expected from it. Bismarck.—The tribulers have resumed work, and are reparted to have already got a fair quantity of picked stone. Suez. — CarewV application having worked through the holidays, have si»ce last report, bottomed on a tine soft sand stone at SO feet. The total absence of bottom water will enable them to coitin-e sinking until sufficient depth is attained, when driving for the reef will Ira started. lONA.— The chief portion ef the dead work is now completed, the shaft is now in goodtiim, tho cage at work, and a fair start has been made to clear the drive oi the mullock, UftlTßD,—the wiBM in the upper work ing is being sunk in good corn-try. JusT.IN-TiMb.—A fine leader has made in the face, looking well for gold. The sinking sf the shaft another hundred feet will greatly enhance the value of this mine, and it is to be hoped the company will meet with the success it deserve*, Time's Come.—A survey ia te tte mado en behalf ef this claim, from the Just-in- Time shaft, an order to that effect having been granted by the Warden at the last sittisg ot tho Court Tokatea No, 2.—McNeill aud party havo started a new drive te cut their leader, whioh is expected to be Ittenected when the tunnel is in 130 feot As it is good workiag ground it is probable that the dis tance will be driven i» about five week*. Comotock.—Some good picked stone w-s obtained before the holidays. A mlaiag survey has beea made, and there is a very good prospect of this miae eomisg to the front again. Blackmorb'B.—The big reef is being worked from a frosb level, and excellent stove has been taken eat ef a jgeed solid character, with coarse gold showisg freely, considerably enhancing the prospects oi the company. TiebnaN's.—ln driving toward the crsss loader another gold-bearing leader was out, which has produied some fair picked stone. 1 ikl -Work started en Tie-nan's boun darj on the main lode, The cosntry and rocf look the same as in the latter's.ceßs pany's mine, affordiig every promise of something payable bei«g dropped en shortly. Matawal—Men are engaged in bagging quarty ready for the transmission of quartz to the battery. Litilb >EU..—The trieuters are pre paring to crush at the »sw battery. They will have about fifty tons to put through. Cseuy.—T»o excavation for the machine site is rapidly progressing. Tho peppet le#9 are erected ever the shaft. The timber in the latter are found to be thorougkly sound for a considerable distance down. Tenders will ihortly be oaUed for tho cen veyasco of the engine to the alaim. The battery is going to receive an overhaul. Union Beach.— The uwal work is being carried on with nothing fresh to chronicle. Success — There being but few hands employed it will take some time to fairly open up the block. It is understood that the Golden Belt and Otbcr claims will shortly start work again. Tho completion of the Matawai battery will, no doubt, soon determine the value of some of the claims in its immediate neigh bourhood which have been retting on tireir ours waiting for a crushing. Thejbattery, wo learn, will be ready for work in a fort j night

MASONIC INSTALLATION.

Brother Dr. Walker wss invested as organist, and condaeted tko musical portion of the ceremony j but owing to the absence of Brothers it. Kaye and fiov. F.

C. M. Nelson, P.M., Prince of Wales, E.G. An excellent repast, purveyed by Mr T. McEwen, having been partaken of, the Chairman proposed tho ul-oI loyal and Masonic toasts, which were received with 1-11 honours. Brother Hitchino, whe occupied the vice-chair, proposed the toast «f "The Provincial aad District Grand Lodges of New Zealand." He referred to the uolty which bound tbe three constitu tions together here, and the good feeling which had always prevailed. Brother the Rev, C. M. Nelson responded en behalf of the V.W.G.M. of tbe District Grand Ledge, E.G., Brother Graham, he thanked them heartily tor the manner in Which they bad drunk the toast of the Dis trict Grand Master's health, fie was terry they new saw so little of him, on ae coant of his residence at Wellington, bat that he was a good Mason they all knew. Brother Nelson then referred to tho benefits which had accrue, to Masonry here since tbe establishment ef the D.G. Lodge ot England and die P.G. Lodge of Scotland. Some thought there was only room for one P.G. Lodge, but since the establishment of the other two there had been created a generous rivalry which, livened them np, and they all worked amicably together; and he hoped it might long so remain. Brother W. Robinson responded on behalf of Brother the Hon. F. Whitaker, P.G.M., and for the P.G. Lodge, S.C. The toast of '* The Masters of Auckland Lodges " was proposed by Brother Munro, and responded to by Bt other Kitt, W.M. Lodge Eden.

Brother Slater returned thanks and hoped he might deserve the good character given him by his esteemed friend Brother Nelson; he would at any rate always do his best for the benefit of Masonry in general, and St, Andrew's Lodge in particular. The toasts of the- "Installing Master," "Visiting Brethren," and the Tyler's toast, "Poor and Distressed Brethren all over the World," followed. A very pleasant even ing was spent, numerous songs being sang, interspered with occasional recitations, which made the evening most enjoyable and profitable.

To farmer, and dealers In cattle It is we_ known that Puro-brod Stook aro more easily fattonod, como to maturity earlioa. wroduoo better beof, and roaliso higher prices (nan tho ordinary does of stock. This fact whitfi ta so significant to breeders and doalers in cattle, has of late yosra induced a constant and aoHvo demand for puro-brod stock in England, America, and tho Australian Colonies, fei vtow of this domand for pure-bred cattlo, mad tho largo and Increasing area of land whioh is annually taken up for grazing purposes all over Now Zealand, and the vast quantity of cattlo required to Btook the Bamo, the Direotors sco at once a ready market at good prioes for their Btook, and they bolievo the Company will bo ablo to pay early and continuous dividends from thoir ordinary operations in the Bale of stock, withont relying upon any profit from the in creased valuo of landed property, whioh is here of ter referred to. Tho Direotors confidently anticipate that tho Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to open a practi cally unlimited markot for New Zealand beof and mutton, and will give to stock-grazing interests in New Zealand an impetus whioh musi: ultimately tend to tho great advantage of this Company.

Those properties have also been solcoted with a view to their future increase in value, and from this source alone the Directors anticipate tho Com pany will derivo considerable profit Eleven hundred and forty acres of the land acquired aro so near to tho City of Auckland oa to entitle them now to be classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily advance in value with the rapid development of the city.
