TE AROHA GOLDFIELD.

[from our special kf.porter.] A downpour of rain had the effect of making a trip up the mountain seem any thing but a pleasure, but having secured one of Messrs Bradly and Company's best hacks, and made the ascent, any discom fort in the trip was amply compensated for by seeing the extraordinary works which have been carried out, and by the flourishing aspect of the field. The tramway is on the eve of completion, and will, with the bat tery, receive due notice, but firsl of all a brief discription of the goldfield and of mining operations will be expected. I stayed up the range till after 6 o'clock p.m., and even at that late hour had not inspected half the mines, while the delay caused by riding down the track in the dark prevents a full report being written, so I will allude to those mines which were first visited, leaving a notice of the remainder until next. Visitors coming to Te Aroha to inspect the goldfield must not expect to see grand shows of specimens as were seen in some of the rich mines at the Thames, but when im partially inspecting the various reefs one cannot fail to be convinced that enormous quantities of payable quartz are to be ob tained easily, while the largo district over which tho innumerable auriferous reefs extend is capable of supporting a very large mining population. Considering the amount of work done, there in a very promising show ; but oven in the richest mine there is no display of specimens. The gold appears to be well distributed through the reefs, and though fine, it is believed to be easily saved, and generally payable. Shareholders must have a little patience, and the battery will give its report with unfailing accuracy. Although an enormous amount of work has been done in connection with tramways, roads, races, battery, &c, the actual mining work done is comparatively little, so that it is impossible to speak with certainty as to the precise strike of various reefs and the nature of the country, excepting at the localities where present operations are being carried on, and it must bo remembered that even this portion of the field has not yet had a fair trial. Masses of quartz lay stripped all the year in various claims ready for being shot down and sent to tho mill, but it was useless to do this, as the atulf could not be got to the battery ; but now facilities for transportingand crushing quartz are provided, there is encouragement for men to go to work. In thus commenting on tho restricted character of operations, it is not intended to convey an impression that there has not been as much work done as might have been. On the contrary, all praise is due to the pioneer miners of Te Aroha for the severe labours they must have undergone to do the prospecting work already done long before roads and tram ways were constructed. Mr Gavin's first trip from Te Aroha to the Colonist mine and back occupied 14 hours. However, a fair start has now been made, mine after mine is being remanned, and our know ledge of reefs and country will in crease with the number of workings, and as the lodes are traced further across country or followed deeper down. The reef system at Te Aroha is different to the Thames, inasmuch as the main lode runs 7 degrees north of south, while at the former field the courso of the main reefs is about east and west, running with the spurs from the main range down to the beach, mining work being carried on some distance from the range. At Te Aroha, mining operations aro being carried on close to the main reef. On both its eastern and western sides payable gold has been struck, the precious metal being freely ob tained from stone found in the main lode and in branch reefs. The Premier No. 1 and No. 2, for instance, are branch lodes, though of considerable extent, varying in thickness from four to 20 feet. There is evi dently a wide belt of auriferous country on both sides of the main lode which is traversed by reefs running at different angles with the main one. It is common to speak of fresh reefs opened up as running parallel with the main, but though such may at first appear to be the case, it will most likely be found as the ground gets opened up that they junction with the main reef. The country is chiefly blocky sandstone, very favour able for carrying gold, and similar to that met with on the eastern side of the Karan gahake range, where the best gold was got, the western side of the latter district being somewhat harder. The reef system seems to be traceable from To Aroha through Karangahako and on to Waitekauri. Mr Corbett, in visiting Te Aroha, considered that the stone coming from several of tho mines so closely resembled that obtained at Waitekauri that men working in the re spective mines could not pick out the quartz which came from -their own workings if samples from the various mines alluded to were put together. Mr Corbett was favour ably impressed with the Te Aroha field, and as he stood on a projecting rata-tree amid tho gigantic outcrops of roofs near the Premier mine, he exclaimed, "This will be a big field or nothing ;" and this impression appears to be gonerally ontertained by miners. Premier.—This has been regarded as the leading mine, and is situated about 3 miles from the battery at the extreme end of the tramway. This claim was pegged off by Hone 'Werahiko, but was afterwards taken in hand by Mesßrs H. E. Whitaker and Chas. S. Stafford, who obtained the lease of five ncres, and the mine has since been con tinuously worked under the management of Mr Thomas Gavin. A fair show of the precious metal was obtained at various parts along the outcrop of tho reef, while a small parcel of atone token from the same lode wns sent to Auckland by Mr J. C. Firth, and on being tested at the Bank of New Zealand, was found to contain a most re markable per-centago of geld, upwards of ISOozs. to the ton ; this certainly was Eolocted stone, but a trial frora any portion of the roef gave so excellent a dhow of gold that nodoubtwasentertainedas to its payable character. Tho reef was driven on 110 feet bub only some 60 feet of it was shot down, tho remainder being left standing until tho final completion of tho tramway, when tho quartz could bo forwarded direct to tho battery-hopper. Another difficulty ex perienced was that there was no available ground for stacking the quarte if it had boon taken out, owing to tho steepness of^the hill-side, and experience has proved that nowly-made ground on tho slope of the range is so liable to bo carried away that tho manager did not caro ti run the rj3k of losing a paddock of valuablo stone. Sixty feet of the reef was broken down, and gold showed freely through a large body of the quartz, which averaged 4ft. in thickness. Tho quartz is solid, with blue dabs and veins permeating it, these invariably carry ing the gold. Probably owing to its proximity to the surface, tho r*>f has a very small proportion of base minerals, which fact will explain the reason why so large a per centage of find gold is saved, careful testa showing that little or no trace of gold could bo found in tho tailings. This reef carries two good walls, and runs through a nice blocky sandstone, which is found to be most favourable for carrying gold. After the drive above referred to had been pushed in the distance required, a rise was put up half-way along the level, and carried through to the surface, a distance of CO feet; tho quartz as broken down showed gold precisely the same as in tho level. Another reef was discovered running nearly parallel with No. 1 for about 200 feet, whon tho two junctioned; tho now reef had all the characteristics of No. 1, and showed gold for 150 feet along the surface. A crosscut was noxt driven from No. 1 to interest No. 2 which latter was cut in about 30 feet, and showed gold when first broken into. The reef wn« then driven on 75 feet to the N.B. with good prospect*, and 45 feet to tho S.W. with similiar results, it is thought that 20 feet further driving in this direction will bring tho face up to tho junction. As this level gavo backs of 170 feet, an intermediate levol was started at a distance of about 40 feet below the surface to divide the block, this has been carried in 50 feet, about 25 feot of the lode hns been taken down, showing equally as good gold as was obtained on the surface. A rise is now being put up and the stone coming out shows gold, a low level has been started in the creek which will give backs of 270 feet on the run of gold, though as tho reef extends almost perpendiculary up the range foranothersoofeetthoactual backs which can be obtained from the permanent-level will bo 770 feet; this is merely mentioned to show tho ONtent of reef available in tho future, and will, perhaps, enable readers to understand why so enormous work has been undertaken as tho construction of roads, tramways, and battery in this locality. In the last level the reef was met with at a distance of 150 feet from the mouth. A winze sunk from the upper level 100 feot carried gold sixty, the reef averaging 4 feet, but no gold was met with in the last 40 feet, the presumption, however, being that tho shot of gold clips S.W., oxplaining why the precious metal was not found in thp lower portion of the winze. It is possiblja that by extending the low level 50 feet to tho S.W. that tho shot of gold would again be picked up. The mine is now fairly connected by tram way, &c, with the battery. A fine hopper has been erected at the end of the tramwaj < within 150 feet of the width of theloTol, ant j the- manager Las mode a fair start to fil < i

the hopper in readiness for the coming ?: crushing. It should be mentioned that in I addition to thy Nos. 1 and 2 reefs there is I another largo reef running through tho ground, known as the Main, or North and South reef; this latter outcrops for a dig tance of 10 chains, its average thickness being 20 feet.but no work has been donetoit so that nothing can bo said respecting its I value to the Company beyond the fact that" payable gold has been got by other com ponies working on the same line of reef. Colonist is to the south of the Premier and consists of five acres of ground. The' main reef runs through the entire length of the ground. In stripping the cap of the reef, gold was seen in the stone taken out for a distance of 200 feet along the surface. A drivo was put through the lode on the north end of the run, and 26 feet of quartz was driven through before the lode channel ' was crossed, 14 feet of which gave what is believed to be payable crushing stuff. A level was next started 70 feet below the* surface. After intersecting the reef a drivs was pushed along the hanging-wall for a distance of 30 feet, a strip of two feet wi&J only being broken off the reef, the principrA part of the level being driven in the country, as it rendered progress morerapidandquartz can readily be broken down and forwarded' to the mill when everything is ready. A winze has been sunk on the main reef to connect with the level, and a block of 200 feet by 70 feet is now available for stopin». The crosscut driven through the main reef has been carried ahead in a westerly direc tion for 50 feet, cutting another gold-bear ing leader which runs parallel with the bi™ reef and shows fine gold in tho stone. Be sides these works a large paddock has been constructed near the tramway capable of holding 500 tons of quartz, close along, side of which a hopper has been erected. All facilities for forwarding crushing stuff being provided, a fair start has° been made to break out a supply of quartz to be in readiness for an early crushing. Vulcan is situated to the south-west of the Premier, and ha 3 the latter reef running through the ground, outcropping for a considerable distance up the spur, ana a fair show of gold has been obtained there from. A level was driven along the hang ing wall for about 80 feet, and the manager has now started to break down, a little gold showing in the stone ; the ground had not been worked during the winter. Operations are now being carried on under the manage ment of S. Hutchinson. This mine Is close to the tramway, and only requires a thort branch lino constructed to enable the Com pany to forward the crushing stuff to the battery. The Vulcan reef looks quite unique viewed from the Premier; but, as its sides have been stripped, leaving'the reef standing in bold relief amid the forest like a huge wall of masonry five feet wide stretching fcr hundreds of feet up the pre cipitous range. This claim was the first pegged out by the Maori prospector. Canadian is between the Colonut and New Find, on the main line of reef, and comprises 10 acres. Though well situated it is not at present being worked, notwith standing the fact that very little outlay would probably be the means of picking up a run of gold. If holders of ground cannot see the way clear to work it, they should throw it up and give others a chance. (To be Continued).

CORRESPONDENCE.

•——•■■' Fire Brigade, Salvage Corps, and Police. (To the Editor,) Sire, —The recent fracas between tho Fire Brigade and the Salvage Corps, following as it did so soon on a somewhat similar col lision between the former body and the police, makes it necessary for the status of each body at a fire to be clearly defined. It is true that the Municipal Act gives the Fire Inspector almost absolute power at a fire, but as the City Council, and not the Municipal Act, pays the Inspector's salary, that difficulty may be easily overcome. The functions of the Salvage Corps being to save moVablB1 s V property, insured and uninsured alike, and to preserve such property when saved, there would appear no necessity for a collisions between it and a body whose duty is to ex- / iinguish fires. Moreover, it would be in expedient to give the head of one body absolute authority over both, as the dignity and esprit de corps of the other wonld be an nihilated. Let the Fire Brigade use all their energies in putting out the fire, the Salvage Corps all theirs in savin" movable property in danger, and % the police do their utmost to keep back the crowd and prevent robbery, and there .■. .: will be no tims for quarrelling; and if the City Council, the Insurance Companies,and the Inspector of the Police add the further I incentive of insisting that the corps under | the control of each work harmoniously with the other twa, we shall hear no more of its being necessary for the efforts againit the fire to bo suspended, and the salvage left to the mercy of thieves while one body extinguishes another.—l am, &c, PIiOPERTY O\V2U£R.

The Education Board and Port Albert Committee.

(To tho Editor.) ■ Sre, —Several months ngo the Port Albert School Committee unanimously sent in their resignation to the Education Board owing to the Board refusing to grant what seemed a very reasonable request. It appears that the Committee made an application to have tho play-ground enlarged by adding an acre to the present play-ground. Ik should bo stated that the Board owij forty acres of land adjoining, and that a capital play-ground might be-had if the Board would only consent. Would it not be as well if thero was that " sympathetic accord " between the Board and school committees as it is thought desirable elsewhere ? As the matter Btandf, the Board acknowledges the receipt of tha resignation of the Committee, but no further action is taken. Thus it would seem that there is no necessity for school committees in carrying out the present educational system. Thos. A Gubb.
