CORRESPONDENCE.

Our Mail Service.

(To the Editor.)

Sra, —" Mercator," in a letter published by you to-day, has called in question the statement I made that " the Pacific service was behind the times," by which I suppsse he must mean that it is fairly abreast of the age, and yet at the close of the letter he says " that our own service is capable^ of being very much improved, I freely adroit." The improvement of the service is what I have at heart, and if the question, were not o:-:e of very great importance,l should pass over such criticisms in silence. Next he says my distances are wrong. " Mercator " should know that in attacking a question of figures in a carefully-prepared statement the least he can do 13 to give hisauthority for his counter statement?, or it is only his word against mine, and I have a right to con sider mine as good as his. I have carefully gone over the figures again, and am pre pared with my authority for tie assertion that the distance from Plymouth to the Cape' is 0,000 miles, and from Auckland to San Francisso 5,925, or a difference of 75 miles. In my previous letter I mentioned the difference in distance in round figures as 50 milea shorter, but tho course of the argument was that these two services prac tically for the game distance, the one has been done in IS days, and the other gener ally fills the whole contract time of 22 days. I was travelling on tho Union Company's Cape steamers in the year 1877, and was then informed by the captain that they were about reorganising their service by putting on a ileet of new steamers to run fortnightly. The first vessel, the German, was launched that year, and made the distanco in 18 days. She was followed by the Durban, Pretoria, and Arab, all running prior to De cember, 1879, when I left England, and per* forming the service in a few hours under or over 18 days. Since then they have added the Trojan and Athenian, but what tbeir peiformances are I do not know, nor am I I so well acquainted with what Donald Curries now steamers have done.not having 'watched them so closely. I have said enough to prove my point, " that the Cape service has any time during the last five years been done in 18days." Before closing this letter I should like to avail myself of the opportunity of saying that I consider Auck landshould jealously watch this San Francisco service, and eeo that it is made tho best possible. Your contemporary announced a short time ago that the English Post master-General bad concluded a contract with the Cunard Coscpany for the Atlantic portion of the service. This is good. From Ist November, I am informed, the land service is to be performed in 5 days. This is also good ; but what are the Pacific Steamship Com puny doing ? Still running their 11 -knut steamers. Noone knows better than theownersof the AustraliaandZealandia that these vessels are "behind tho times." Any one of the four steamers I havo named belonging to the Cape Union Company would make the running easily in 16 days, but wo ought to go a step in advance of this. I should like to see our Government, who are just now dealing with millions of money as though they were only co many hundreds, take up this question and look at it in a brood and statesmanlike manner. I think our present subsidy, plus the cost of the Brindisi service and the amount the United States are prepared to subscribe, would be sufficient to secure a fortnightly pervico to San Francisco, not to exceed 15 days. This would bring New Zealand with in 29 days and Sydney 33 days from Eng land, which it will take any other service a long time to beat. It would recoup the oost by entering the Postal Union, and thus reap all the advantages of tho Association, besides bringing down the cost to England to 4d per half - ounce. The stimulus this would give to correspondence would be immense. Powers for this ought to be taken during the present session of Parlia ment, as the expiry of the present contract 12 months hence will not give time enough to call for contracts after the next session commences. —I am, 4c, J.M.

MINING NEWS.

COROMANDEL.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent),

Mine Managers' Reports.

Royal Oak.—l beg to report for the infor mation of the directors that the contractors have extended the main level another 12 feet since last measurement without a change. The leader has maintained its usual promising appearance—plenty of mineral in the quartz, a nice workable size, but no gold in any of the breakings down. At present, the leader is unusually well defined and regular in its course. Mayne's party is getting a little gold in the general stuff, but no picked stone has come to hand during the week.—John P. Hall, mine manager. Tokatea.—l have the honour to report for the information of tho Board of Directors that the country in this level has continued about the same as date of last report; a small leader, with very strong walls, and underlying about the same angle as the reef, was intersected on Monday last, but whether it has any connection with the main reef cannot be ascertained until it is cut through, which will take till Saturday next. It is a leading wall, and the quartz on it is full of mineral. There is nothing fresh to report from the tributers. Knox's party continues to get a little gold in the new leader in No. 5; the other parties are still prospecting.—Jko. P. Hall.

(From the " Coromandei, Mail.")

Success.—Stoping operations are being prosecuted, with fair returns of the precious metal, but no patches of any importance have been obtained.

KArANGA.-Some nice parcels of speci men stone have come to hand from the stopes, and tho reef is still looking very well.

Tokatea.—Good progress is made in the main level, notwithstanding the bars of flint which somewhat impede operations. We are expecting to hear daily that the big reef has been struck.

Hakbour View Tribttte.—Allen's section continues to get a good show of gold, and there is every probability of having some excellent crushings. Union Beach.—The tributers continue to take out payable stuff. It seems pretty evident that the new leader will be a valuable addition to the mine.

Central.— Very satisfactory arrange ments have been made with Mr Vaughan to drive on his reef to the boundary, when it is proposed to put in a tunnel to cut it in the central ground." It is thought safer to do this, as the reef evidently does not come to the sorface.

Makiebell.—The manager is driving on the big reef lately discovered, which shows colours of gold, but nothing of any great importance at present. The company has purchased some more berdans, and are having them erected, when they will be able to oporato on a large quantity of tailings. Queen. —Tho drive is almost up the reef. Probably before this reaches our readers it will be in hand.
