MINING NEWS.

[FAOM THE "COKOMANDEL MAIL.]

Tor many years past a longing desire has I been felt by this community to see the Beach mines again at work, and the rich locality from the Beach northwards.ladorned with poppot heads and smoke stacks, aud . re3oundiug witb the din and clamour 01 machinery, and though tho time seemed j far distaut that it should again be the scene of mining operations, such is rapidly be coming the case. Section after Bection of fancy ground la being taken in hand, and in a very short time the whole area of ground from tho Union Beach to the Ka panga promises to be energetically worked. Just-IN-Time. -While enterprise "was almost at a period of stagnation Captain Thomas and other gentlemen satisfied with the rich character of the lode, erected ma chinery, and sunk a shaft 90 feet. After driving 90 feet the Just-in-Time reef was cut, and was driven on 200 feet north, fair ao!d being obtained. Driving south 120 feet, slides and cross courses were of so fre quent occurrence as almost to disheartened the management. The last twenty or thirty feet driven'on No. 2 was as a last attempt |in this quarter, when on passing a slide into a change of country the lode made strong and solid, and in six feet about three-quarters of a hundred-weight of picked stone and specimens came to hand, uiving fresh tonu to the mne, and re newed encouragement to Mr Barry, tho mine manager to continue ahead. Another slide here has crossed his path, though the settled nature of the contiguous ground and the appeatar.ee of the reef to tho footwall promises that the leader will make again past the slide, The reef on the iloor and roof where last driven on, shows good gold. The No. 1 reef has been followed up to the line of the first slide, and will be followed up. Splendid couutry is makiDg as this level proceeds, which is running parallel with No. 2, but being closer into the hill carries more solid ground. Fiom the stope overhead richit.specimens came to haud during the week in welcome parcels oE ten and fifteen pounds weight. It will be interesting to watch the progress of work in these reefs; and it is but fair to the mine manager to Bay that ho has shown con siderable tact and ability in carrying on operations ; and the company may rest con tent with the great assiduity with which he has personally conducted the work, and with his own hands assisted in carrying to their present satisfactory stage, the important prospecting works undertaken by the com pany, A rawing survey just completed goes to prove that the Juat-in-Time has got fairly to work on the Union Beach line of reef, and when a greater depth is attained there is every prospect of magnificent results There is oven from the present level an ex tensive block of several hundred feeton the line of reef going toward the Albion, and every hope of a great output of gold, as the face has entered a better class of country, Mid the further It goes into the hill the deeper it is on the reef, while the coarse gold in the stone, and the permanent appuarance of the reef when clear of the slide, offer proofs of something very good ahead.

ALBION.—Next on this line of reef foing towards the Beach is ihe newly formed Albion Company's ground, through which the survey shows the Just-in-Tiuie reels pass. Tho Mining Surveyor is perfectly satisfied of the connection between the Union Beach and this auiiferous line of country, believing them identical; it now rests with the Albion to develop the same, and when similar rich golden stone ia turned out as was obtained by the Company1* on cither sido tho public will rest satisfied that tho Albion, has secured the long sought lodes. MonNiNG Stab.—The heavy rains which fell during the week conaiderab'y retarded tho operation of ihe shareholders who have not yet got under cover. J-OUTH Kapanca.-Some rich prospects were obtained duriog the week. KovAij OAK.—The contractor is stick ing to his work, and making good progress considering the nature of the country, which is still very tight. TOKATEA,—*he new blcck has been opened with an encouraging dhow of gold ; last week 130 lbs. of picked aione came to hand; this week gold showed freely through tho general stuff, but at tho time of writing no picked stone was repotted. Tokatea.—No. 7 level—The drive fol lowing the hanging wall side of the main channel has entered a more favourable run of ground. The broken country is giving out, tho iioot and tho hanging wall is getting bettor defined, and the small scattering veins of quartz that have continued with the drivo are showing signs of coming to ijetlier and forming one body of stono, Supcs,—The country in tho stopes above the No. 7 lovel is broken with tue wall from 8 to 10 feet apart, ana consequently the leader ia split up in the stopes going west from the winze. "We have had a large body of stone showing gold more or less through it, and now and then one or two pieces of better quality. As yet (here is no change in the country east of the winzj ; the ground is very broken, and the leader pinched out, We have opened out No. 3 rise 70 west of No. 2 winze, from, which good crushing stuff is coming to hand. Tributes.—Knox and McNeil! obtained GOlbs. of rich specimens from this tribute— perhaps the best they have had from the block. Tho gold is quite clean, and adher ing in bunches to tho outside of the stone. Battery.—Looking tolerably well on the plato. 201bs. good stones from western atopes last night.-John P. Hall. IONA. —This well situated mine is being vigorously worked on though no gold has rewarded the efforts of the mine manager during the week, the faces were looking well ; the main level particularly haa en tered s fine class of country, solid, and full of minerals. The drive started from the shaft opposite to where the picked stone exhibited in town was got, has been carried in about 6 feet without seeing anything; the reef was picked up, but shows signs of working again; the country has been very disturbed in the vicinity of the shaft, though it has looked more regular in this particular quarter, and appeared settled; there is now an improvement in the leader which it is hoped will continue. An upper level ha< been cleared out which will be worked for a time.

WAITEMATA COUNTY COUNCIL.

The Waitcmata County Council met a' 2 p.m. on Friday.

Tbe £10,000 LOAN,—A telegram was read from the Under Secretary of Publio Works, dated 16th December, stating that no plans had been forwarded with' the application for loan of £10,000 under the Boads and Bridges Construction Act, and asking that plans be forwarded by Jan uary 1. The Chairman stated that Messrs Boylan and Lundon had not time to pre pare more than the plans of one work—the Wniwera Road, costing £2000. These were forwarded, but aletter was thenreceived f i om the Under Secretary stating that the plans being incomplete, the request for the £2000 grant could not be entertained. If, how ever, tbo Council supplied all the informa tion necessary before June 31st next, their application would be considered with others. The chairman read the schedule of works gazetted as follows :— County boundary to North Shore, 2 miles, ertimated cost, £2,305; to Stokes Point from Horth Shore, 20 miles, £1,170; Helensiville to Port Albert (part of), 10 miles, £1,170; Helensville to Whau, 28 miles, £3,276 ; Helensville (across Kaipara river), 5 miles, £585; Woikomitl Railway Station to Waitakerei South Highway District, 12 milts £1,404 ; Wade to Wainui and Kaukapakapa (part Of) 10 miles £1170; total, £10,000. The chairman said the question was, should they instruct theii engineer to proceed with making plans and estimates of the works mentioned in the schedule. Any additions to the schedule could only bo made by Par liament—of course, on the recommendation of the local body.—Cr McKay moved that the Engineer be instructed to make a flying survey of the of the road mentioned in the schedule, and report to.Council; |this was carried.

QOVEBNMEST GRANT. - The Under Secretary Public Works notified the Council of the remittance of £1000 portion of vote of last session. It was decided to allocate to each of the six ridings of the country £150.

WELLINGTON, this day. The City ot New York with the January English mails left San Francisco for Auck land on the 14th inst,, four days later than time-table date.

TURFIANA.

(BY CHEVAL.)

The bcioka will be in attendance at Tatter sail's to night tor the purpose ot settling over the Dunedin Cup, They will 'also'be prepared to bet re Wauganui and Napier events. Although Adamant is to all intents and purposes a rank outsider for the Dunedin Oup, his victory does not leave the local rnetallicians scithless; Lyons "parts" about £100, Blaikie £68, Enko £50 ; and others also have no doubt been touched. However, nothing could have been better for the metallicians with the exception of the Jilt. Nearly all the " cracks "—Bun doora, Welcome Jack, Salvage, King Quail, and the others—were laid m doubles and trebles at large odd?, with the Wangaoui and Napier Handicaps. Adamant was never mentioned in these wagers, so that the bookmakers can open, their books on the forth:oming events, perfectly un trammelled by the public having a " leg in." The Ohinemuri Jockey Club have ar ranged a nice little piogramme for March 17th. There are seven events, the principal being the Ohinemuri Handicap of 40 soys. Nominations will be received by the secre tary, Mr T. E. Shaw, Paeroa, up to March Ist. Weights will be dechved on March sth and acceptances for the principal events on March 10th. Messrs Heron and A, Butler are the handicappers. Although the betting fraternity have scarcely had breathiog time since the run ning of the Duneden Cup. books have been opened on the Wanganui Lup, and a num ber of wagers booked. The following is the slate of tue betting matket re that event: - Welcome Jacif, 2 to 1 against (offered); Piscatorious, 100 to 10 against; King Quail, 6to 1 against (offered); St. Clair, 100 to 10 against (taken). It is all very well for certain people to say that Welcome Jack cannot hold his own against good cattle, in consequence of his recent defeats at Dunedin in the Cop and Jockey Club Handicap. Those who saw his grand galloping powers and fast victories there at Christmas will not believe that he wa* fit and well when beaten by King Quail for the D.J.C. Handicap. Jack's weieht in that event was 7st 131bs; the Quail's, 7«t slbs. Though a great admirer ef King Quail, I firmly believe that when in condition, the Canterbury colt could give the "little sneaker " a stone and a beating ever a If mile course. With all that, Quail* victory is a glorious performance. The time-3 minutes 8 seconds—is fomr seconds fester than the last Auckland K.C. Handicap, and only 3J seconds than Woodland's sen sational travel, for that distance. Concerning the bookmakers leceatly charged with conspiring to defraud a fanner named Quinn, the Melbourne " Augur" says: Carey is ono of the licensed book makers of the V.X.C, but would not be admitted to the Victorian Club. Drake i» neither a member of the Victorian Cluk nor a licensed bookruakt-r. i The next EngliA Derby will be run on May 23, and the Legor on &.>ptemb.r 12. 'i he raci»g stud ef the late Mr F. Gretton was to be sold in London by Messrs Tatter sail on January 1. Were SS lacehortea and two stallions, one of wkich Is Inonomy, for whom Mr Giet'.ou, is said to have refused £20,000. 'Ihe death is announced of a famous American jockey, Gilbert Watson Jfatrlclc, who for 50 years was well known in racing circle*". He ia reputed to have made over 5,000 monn'p, and to have come off victor ious in four-fifths of them -a record which is said to be unequalled. He wen upwards of 2,000,000, dola.; yet he died in extieme poverty at a common lodging-house in New Yosk.

Archer; for ths ninth successive season, is at the head of ttse list with 210 victories out of 564 mounts. From this it will be seen that his riding fees alone amount to upwards of £2,000. To this, of course, must be nd'ied his several retainers treble the total ot tbi* snm ftr presents, and there i* at once an income of upwards of £12,000 per snoro, with all expenses paid it must b« borne in mind. . Tho income from pre sents is not over-estimated, fc'n the St. Lever alone Archer received fully £3 000. The Australian bookmaking triumvirate (Messrs Jones Miller, and u'Brien), laid ihe sensational wager recently of 100,000 to 2000 Warwick for the V.R.U. Derby and Grosvener for the Melbourne Cup. Geelong Cap.—Gudarz I, CouMon 2, Mistaken 3. Time, 3min. 42sec. The Hawkesbury a>:d Newcastle JocWey Olubs are following the example of the V. K.C., in registering bookmakers. Rumour of late (says " Martiodale") has been very freely pending tho "grand horse man," Tom Hale?, to England, in company with Mr W. A. Long, and to whom it is said he is engaged as " first mount." In a conversation the other day with that gentle-

man, he informed me there was no founda tion for it, but he said ho would be very glad to see Torn Halis in the old country.

He had not yet entered into any engage, ment him.

M. J. Oiler, the proprietor of the St. Germain racing establishment, is preparing to organise night races. He intends to build a central lighthouse, of which the rays will be directed on the contending horses, to that spectators fitting in the centre may follow the proceeding* with na much accuracy as ia open day.

MUNICIPAL EXTENSION.

Meeting at Neivmarlcet.

A meeting of ratepayers and residents of the Newmarket Highway District, for the purpose of considering a proposal to unite the district with, the City of Auckland, was held at the Newmarkei Hall last evening. Then; was a large and influential attend, ance, the building being'well filled. Mr F. G. Clayton having been voted to the chair, initiated the proceedings by reading the advertisement convening the meeting. He expressed tha plea sure he felt at Beeing. such a large number present. The attendance was mnch better than at the last meeting held at Newmarket fur the purpose of con sidering the question of providing a water supply for the disttict. ihe discussion at that meeting took an unexpected turn ; a proposal to join the city being mooted. iAt a meeting of the rood trustees beld sub sequently a resolution was passed io the efteel; that it was not desirable to join the city.

The Secretary to the Board (Mr Dennison) then read the minutes of the meeting of the Board referred to by the Chairman. Mr Walker sff-d, being one of the trustees, 'be felt called upon to ex plain why the resolution was adop ted by tbe Board, and when they were now justified in a-king the meeting to support them, There were a number-of reasons to his miod why it was inexpedient to join the city. The principal object to be gamed ia joining tha city would be to get water. But he asked, If they joined the city, when would they ret water? He felt sure if they were tme to themselves they could have a water supply of their own long before the city coutd give them one. He referred to ihe fact that the rates would be greatly increased through joining the city. Although they would only be rated at (JJd in tbe £, the valuation would be doubled, He gave instances in Karangahape and Pon sonby, where the rates had been greatly in. creased by merging with the City of Auok. land. Mr Lynch,of the Kings Arms Hotel, Karangahape, bad his rates increased from £3 co £7, and when the water was laid od, the rate would be £12. The landlord of the Suffolk Hotel, Ponsonby, had informed him that the rates were doubled by his dis. trict joining tbe city. If they decided on adopting that course, they should remem her they would have to wait for watet till Ponsonby, Grafton, and Karangabape were supplied. There were so many reasons why they should not join the city that he could keep them till 12 o'clock at night, telling them about them. There roads were very good, and their rates would be spent elsewhere. If they joined the city i they could not join it as an independent ward, bnt only as a piece of Grafton, and when it came to a question of voting in the Council, Newmaiket would not be heard. He moved, Ist "That this meeting confirm the resolution passed by the trustees, and and pledges itself to resist any attempt to unite Newmarket with the City of Auck land." In years to come it might be ex. podient to join tbe city, but not for four or five at any rate.—Mr Tait seconded the the resolution, pointing out that if they joined the city they could not make any terms, They would have to join without knowing what piivileges they would get. It was like a game they used to play at when they were boys, " Shut your eyes and open your mouth and see what the king will give you." In answer to a question the chairman said if the district remained under the Highway Board system, and ob. tamed a water supply, they would be rated at about Is 6d in the £.—Mr Morris wondered why the sudden cry for water had arisen, He had always provided water for thq

houses he owned and wan^Tir" — I people in NewnurkeHffi Sa" «U , water from the roofa of their ho ,« *^& ■ haps they thonght the? ™3 es' feT moted by beiog in th T!L Pi V to so they Jould^-dla^'t^^ ! had spoken to seven peopleTa pi' Be ] and all expressed regret that I^°% ' loined the city.
