TE AROHA

[BT TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRE3PONDEXT.] Te Aroha, this day New Find. - Driving haa for the time being been stopped m both ends of th« Arizona level. It was found to be difficult with the present appliances to keen thn drives, rise, and atopes properly ventilated and it has therefore been deemed advisable to suspend operations in both faces and carry on only the rise and stopes until coramunica tion is effected with the upper workings The rise is now up over 40 feet, and a winze from above will be put down to connect with it. There is about 60 feet between the two, but as the reef is not difficult to work the holing through should be accomplished in a comparatively short time. As soon as thi3 is done driving will be resumed. Good progress is beinl made by the contractors in the winze ob the No. 2 reef, about 50 feet having now been sunk. The lode is from three to four feet thick, and continues to show gold at each breaking down. In the low level tha country continues very hard, and the progress is made much slowei than was ex pected, but the contractors are evidently determined to carry out the work, and it w to be hoped they will quickly meet with better ground.

Colonist.—There ia no change of import ance to record in any of the workings. The sinking of the winze from the No. 2 level is proceeding satisfactorily, the inflow of water being still comparatively light. During the week the low level has been extended about 20 feet through some rather tough country. The face ia now in over 60 feet from the starting point. Stoping operations are going on as usual in the block between the upper and No. 2 levels.

Diamond Gully.—The cross-cut put in to intersect the New Find No. 2 reef has now been extended some distance past the line of that lode. At the point where it was expected that a large body of atone would have been struck, some small veins were met with, and from this it is con cluded that the reef has here got split up A drive is now being put in on a good-look', ing leader, which traversed the cross-cut a short distance back from the course of the main lode. There is about two feet of stone of a very promising appearance, but so far no gold has been teen is it.

Waiorongomai.—The reef in the lower drive seems to improve as it it driven on. As now showing in the face it i« about 9 feet 6 inches wide, and is well defined with excellent walls. During the week soino fair stone has been broken down, a tprink ling of gold being visible in most o( it, especially in that taken out in the last sor 6 feet of driving. The quartz ia of a close texture, and is not so highly mineral ised as some of the stuff got nearer the surface. In the upper workings the same vein ia still being followed towards the Wellington boundary. Good prospects of loose gold can be got, and an occasional colour is also visible in the stone, but the show there at present is not sufficiently good to warrant the belief that it is payable. A drive is being put in on a smaller leader, supposed to be identical with the one now-being worked in the Wellington claim, but so far nothing of any consequence has yet been met with.

Vermont. — Some excellent gold-bear ing stone has recently been got from the small leader that has run parallel for some distance with the reef in the low level. Present appearances seem to indicate that the two will shortly junction, and it is hoped that there will then be an improve ment in the larger body likewise, tha characteristics of that lode being of a favourable nature.

Wellington.—Good progress is being made with the drive on the leader, and tha country is still of a very favon rable cbaracteri The vein is now about 9 inches in width, and is yielding some very nice stone, gold beina; freely visible in some of that last broken down. The appearance of the leader, as well as of the country, is of a very promising kind,

COROMANDEL.

[raOM SPHE "OOROMASIIfiI itAfe"]

Mixing affairs have been very dull during the past week. All the mines are ii steady work, but they have not yet got anything of note. At the same time several of them are looking very well, and bid fair fofcoma to the front again shortly.

Matawai continues to turn out good payable stone in large quantities from the drive going south. The reef is large and compact. The drive north has not yet arrived at the shot of gold, but should do so next -week. The County Council are calling for tenders to improve the road to the battery, and no doubt the work will ba pushed on with vigour.

Vizard's.—This mine improves as it ia worked. If more men were employed it would likely come well to tho front.

Matawai, Wo. 2.—The men are busy trenching and driving, but have not yei succeeded in picking up anything very rich, though the indications are very good.

UsiOH Beach.—The manager is pushing on the work on the leader cut in the inter mediate level. The stuff coming out it looking first-rate. The stoping on new reef is also showing up well.

Tokatea.—There is no change to report in the main level. The country continue* very hard,

Royal Oak.—Driving is continued oa reef in new level, but the country ie very hard, and progress slow. The reef still looks splendid, but no gold has been seen.

Success.—The usual work is going on here, but nothing of any importance ob» tamed.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evmmra Star^ I Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to t&« efficacy of the great German remedy, St Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from tima to time, expressions of gratitude from porsonsof known respectability, and having satisfied my self of the genuineness of the cores effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it woaM suc ceed In relieving me. For tfco past seven months I have suffered severely from a pala tal attack of sciatica, which, la spite of tho most able treatment on the part ol ray ineai cal adviser, con tinned to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole system, very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The saiatlca was principally located in my left thigb, and the pain at, times was most excruciating. In spite of thd. most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, - ob tained oo appreciable relief, and at lost, iv. a. forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs. Oil, and from that timo the pain began to diminish, lij 7 ~fi -t-oi' :-*t— cd. and each application _^oi\'.l:! :. At first I re garded the cessation from pais> as only a temporary obb, scarcely darinu to hope that the sore was complete; I it I hava gratefully to acknowledge that I am now tree from pain-in fact, a man atrain. I must confess fnat I tried tho Oil in abso; lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights Dreviously. and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and X again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever conHuuo to recommend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and 1 regard it as tlio greatest boon of. the age. - I am, dear Sir, Yaura f aithf ully, John Lee. Aehbourna, Mndeee, November 12,1883.

"Publishers Evenko Stab, " "Dear Sire,—About a fortnight ago I had a, severe attack of rhuematism in my back, which; cave me ns end of pain and trouble. I used St.: Jacob's Oil, and in one or two applications tha pain entirely left Since then I have had ocpai ; aion to use the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and Its effect was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, wits equally satisfactory results, I consider St Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to do so.

Watches. Stewart, Dawson, & Co.'S (OF LIVEKPOOL) UNRIVALLED ENGLISH WATCHES!! THE BEST AND MOST PERFECT IX THE WOULD. SELLING IN HUNDREDS. The Result of SCIENCE. SKILL. INVEN TION, and the APPLICATION 7 of CAPITAL culminating in the concentration of all the dill'erent branches of manufacture in one huge factory, together with the adoption of the moat improved and efficient machinery. Upon this system our factory isorgiuiiaed. and the benefits that result therefrom may be thus summarised: —(1) The various processes of the trade, instead ot ueing carried on in thirty to forty dif ferent placea, are all brought under one management. [i\ Scientille machinery, with its wonderful exactitude, 13 employed with incalculable advantage for certain portions of the Watch, which uro marvellously improved and perfected by this method of production. (3) At the samo timo, and in conjunction there with, the services of the most highly-skilled workmen are employed, thus blending the in telUVenoe and judgment of the cultivated arti ficer with the products of the almost animated machines. By such a combination we may say that wo have realised perfection in Watch manufacture, and are fully justified in the as sertion we make, that in;tlie system as thus.'deve loped by us, thereisaunityof idea, a coherence, and a fitness that is not to be found in any other, and that under it there is a proportion and a perfection attainable AND ATTAINED that cannot possibly be reached otherwise ; and just as tho introduction of steam power revolution ised the industries of tho World, so our unique ■yetcm marks a new departure in the art and acionce of Watchmaking. We will now direct our attention to the com pleted Watcb, and indicate asbriellvas possible Bourn of tho particulars in which the quality of our LflYer Watches may give the challenge to the World. Ab in a building, bo in a Watch, durability and Btability depend largely on the foundation. THE FOUNDATION OF OUR LKVER WATCH IS SOLIDITY ITSELF. Ourreadors would be astonished if they saw thodiscof solid uiotal which is intended to form the PILLAR PLATE of tho future Watch. This is turned, parallel ana true; it is recessed to receive tho wheelwork undor Lho dial; ie is fitted with pillars, upon which the top plate is placed : and when the pair of platea, technically FRAJMKS, made on our system, are put together, they form a foundation within whioh the wheels can be run with a steadiness hitherto unattainable. Our frames are what is known aa HOLLOW BACK, the seat of tho dial being a3 solid and steady aa the metal itself, giving an immense advantage over tho ordinary and cheaper make. KVKHY WHEKL is accurately gauged, and la of an absolutely exact proportion, both in size and thickness, for tho position and work for which it is intended. THE PINIONS.-Tho samo remark, in the attainment of Derfoct proportion, applies to the oxquisitoly polished stoeltoothed Arbor, known as tho PINION, which forms the axis of each wheol, and is intermediately the receiver of the power of the mainspring. THE ESCAPEMENT is adjustable to a nicety that admits of the perfection of performance being attained, and although our Watches beat no fewer than 16,200 times in the hour, yot wear in this most important part is unknown. Every separate action being jewelled in hard ruby, tho unwearied pulse as a cosseuuence will beat as free, and the DEAD BEAT action will be as perfect in ono of our Watches in Fifty years' time as when It is llret turned out. THE BALANCE STAFF.-The samo remark of unlimited durability applies to the BALANCE STAFF. This, working in its holos of jewel, drilled and polished to a perfect surface of the highest gloss, seems to defy wear. THK HAIH-SI'RING is a narvel of line manufacture, being (notwithstanding the apparent unposHihility) hardened, and then tempered to the highest deirroo of otaMirity. THK DIAL U the best make, known a/liard enamel, und has the seconds piece recessed, so that the hand for marking seconds id completely removed from contact with tho hour band. TIieGILI)IN(i in of v very superior class, and the movement ii left with a dc-ree of hardness that would be unattainable if the gilding were not frosted and finished by steam power. This hardneefl means durability. Tuo STKRIj WOKK throughout the Watch is hardunod and tempered and finished to the highest degree. Tho CASE owes its formation to tho in fluences of Scientitlc Case-making Machines, each case, when II nished, showing a symmetry and stylo, combined with strength, that mark it as tlrst-class. It is impossible to enumerate evory point of excellence in our Watches. We have not even mentioned thu power of goins during tho operation of winding, which power In our system ncrcr fulls: nor nem\ we enumerate any further. It simply remains; to say that the result of this organisation of labour, this out lay of capital, with the U6e of steam power and machinery, issues in the production of a Watch that will otaud thu roughest wear and enjoy it, will pive Its owner less trouble and more com fort, will go more yea's and will cost leas in re pair than uny other watch knovvn-a Watch, indeed, that is at once the masterpiece of in gonuity and accuracy, the nraiso of everyone who is intelligent and fortunate enough to possess one. and which every reader can for himself prove to be in truth and in fact the best Watch ever curried by ordering one of them as undor:— ORDER EARLY.

As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of ita finding a placo in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the nativebazaars, and judging from their sale, we fancy their sojurn there will De but evanescent We could multiply instances ad infinitvm of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Cliiorodyno in Diarrhoea and Dysentrv, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the ', Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general seda tive, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Cholcraii Diarrhoea and even more terrible forms o' Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising controlling power. We have nevor used anj other form of this medicine than Collia Brownoi fromaflrmconvictionthatitlsdecidedlythebest and also from a sense of duty wo owe to tin profession find the public, as we are of opiniei that Uic substitution of any other than Collu Urowhc's is A deliberate brkach of faith ON THE PART OP1 TUB CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE! iXD PATIENT alike.
