TE AROHA GOLDFIELDS.

An Experienced Miner's Opinion. A special correspondent of tho " Lyttehon Times," who we, understand, is a minor of considerable experience from Sandhurst, Victoria, has been writing to that paper an account of a visit to the Te Aroha Gold field. In the course of his letter he says :— The mountain is said to be about 3,400 ft high, and the Premier Gold-mining Com pany's claim is very near the top. The whole way up you passgreat massesof quartz standing out in all directions. We at last arrived at this point, and at once proceeded to examine the drive and the reef. The width of the reef of the Premier Gold-mining Company is from three to four feet thick, and shows gold in abundance. It has two cross reefs, Nos. 1 and 2. The mining manager and the men aro very sanguine as to the results of the forthcoming crushing. The large quantity of quartz to hand has a very rich appearance, and should show a very favourable result. The capitpl of this Company is £20,000, in £1 shares— 9d per share paid—and they are worth in the opon market at present 15s. A little lower down is the Colonist Gold Mining Company, which lias a reef of 12 to 14 feet thick, and shows fine gold throughout the stone. The yield may not be at_large as the first crush ing as the Premier Company, but I antici pate that it will be of a very permanent and improving character. The stone grows richer as they drive into the reef. I was very favourably impressed with this mine. The capital is £20,000, in £1 shares—six pence per share paid up—and tho shares are now worth 8s to 8s Od. The Werahiko Gold-mining Company has a very promising reef, from 2 to 12ft in thickness, showing good gold in a run of 42ft. The capital is £30,000, in £ 1 shares—3d being paid up— and are worth 6s to Cs 6d per share. After referring to other mines, the writer gives tho following particulars of the battery:—A tramway of a very perfect character has been laid down close to tho principal reefs, and connects with the most perfect crushing machinery I have seen. It consists of 40 head of stamps, or eight batteries of five head each, with amalgamating tables, and eight self-feeders, also 12 berdan basins with girders, the whole 125 horse-power being worked by water-power. The cost is said to have been £10,000, and the cost of the tramway £10,000. The water sup ply is brought through tunnels, with a total of about 1,300 feet in length. The Piako County Council charges 3s 6d per ton for the use of the tramway, and the batteries charge 10s per ton for crushing, &c., or a total of 13s 6d per ton—rather different to the £7 and £8 per ton that used to be charged in Sandhurst. The battery has storage for 520Ttons of quartz.

VOLUNTEER NEWS.

Thb Naval Artillery and Hobson Company went through tho first stage of class firing on Saturday afternoon. There were about twenty present from both companies, under tho command of Adjutant Clifton. A more unfavourable afternoon for firing than Saturday last could not be obtained; the' filing Was frequently interrupted through the downpour of rain. The ranges were 2nO and 300 yards, ten shots each range, standing and kneeling positions. |The following are the scores of those who passed through tho third class : — HOBSONS. 200 yds. 300 yds. Tl.

New Zealand Rifle Association re the Volunteer Reserve.

(To the Editor.) Sin, —In the telegram of Wednesday from Wellington, it will be seen that the Council of tho Association have, as thoy term it, decided: That as the Govern ment subsidises tho Association, and as tho bolts wero originally derived from tho Government .for tho purpose of encouraging the efficiency of tho real forco, tho Council sees no reason why reserve volunteers should not bo shut out from competing for them. This is equivalent to saying a volunteer on the reserve is not a volunteer at all, nnd does not require to be efficient. Now, the Volunteer Act declares that a volunteer claiming to go on the reserve shall not be deprived of any of the ■rights and privileges he would have been ontitlod to had he not gone on the reserve. To get on the reserve a man must have been a trained and efficient volunteer for at least three successive years, and be always liable to be called out for actual service as any other volunteer, although he will not cost the colony a penny for capitation. In short, a volunteer on the reserve has about eight parades or drills a year remitted on account of past services, and by law is allowed all the rights and privileges of other volunteers as a retainer for future services in the ' field if required. Yet in tho above decision of tho Council the law is ignored, and the Council assumes a power abovo tho law, and makes rules in defiance of it. All on the reserve should appeal against this injustice, and any attempts to deprive them of rights con ferred on them by the Legislature. To show how the Council have landed them selves on the horns of a dilemma, I have only to mention that they will allow reserve volunteers to compete for most of the money voted by tho assembly' for volunteer prize - firing, and yet prevent them from competing for belts pur chased by money voted for volunteers by the assembly also. Now, if volunteers on the reserve are not entitled to compete for the latter, how is it they'are privileged to compete for the former T But, sir, it is not yet too late for the Council to retrace Its stops, and act with consistency and in ao corckneo with the law.—l am, &c., Onb Interested. Auckland, Nov. 15,1883.

CRICKET MATCHES.

The weather on Saturday again prove most unfavourable for cricket, and as a consequence many of the matches were postponed.
