Tflii range at Mount Eden on Saturday was quite lively with tho number of Volunteers out firing, there being close on 40 present.

CRICKET MATCHES

Numerous matches were proceeding on the Domain Ground on Saturday afternoon. Tho weather was fine, and tho ground ■favourable for tall scoring. Some good innings were played, Barton and Arneil both distinguishing themselves in their respective matches. Tho following are tho reports of tho various contests :—

Auckland v. United.—The greatest amount of interest was centred in this match, which was a two days' one. Auck land went to tho ivickets first, and put together 139, chiofly through tho splendid stand made by Barton.

MINING NEWS.

[from tiie "coromandkl M&X."] ~ . i: Jhot-in-Time. — Payable stone JCj: etill coming from the winze on No. 1 leader, wliich is a fair eize. Work has been re sumed on the No. 2 reef, but nothing of - • any importance obtained at present. Albion.—Splendid progress is made in driving on Just-in-Time slide. The trans-. geris very sanguine that if he can only strike a reef or tender abutting on the slide he will be sure to get gold. The country is everything that can be desired,, and no doubtwe shall hear of gold strnck in that direction before long.

KAI'ANGA. —A little gold is still got in the lower level from the old Knpanga reef, and the mine looks well throughout.

Cokisy. —The stopes in the level are not turning out quite as well as was expected, but a few feet more may easily alter that. The country is good, and there is nothin" to prevent gold coming in at any moment.

Vizard's have sent down 19 tons to tho Matawai battery, and so far as it has been put through is shaping splendidly. Thero can be no doubt of its richness, and it is probable this will enable tho mine to bo worked much more vigorously than hereto fore.

The Homeward Bound is preparing to have another crushing, being not quite .satisfied with tho last trial from the big reef.

Union Beach. — The manager of this mine reports having a splendid reef in driving on the Venus j so well-does it look that ho intends to save the stud coining out for the battery. It averages about two feet thick, and is very highly mineralised. There is yet a considerable distance to go before arriving at tlio junction with-tho Black reef, as it appears to be turning and going almost in the same direction. The drive on the Black reef is also greatly im proved. Thero is now a large body of stone in the face, which the manager consider* indicates the near proximity of another kd». The country is exceedingly good, and the fact will be quiclily proved one way or tho other.

Tokatea.—The drive in low level is etill exceedingly hard, very slow progress being made. The stopes arc turning out a little gold under the van level, but so far it is not as rich as was expected. The tributerg (Kuox and McNeil) are still getting good payable stuff from their section, and^ occa sionally good patches of specimens.

Matawai. — There is a splendid lot of quartz in the paddock ready for the battery (about 40 tons) and about 100 lbs, good picked stone. The show in the face is still good, and likely to continue. The low level is progressing very slowly, but the reef looks well, and will no doubt give a good account of itself at the battery,

Foreign Capital,

(To the Editor.) Sin, —In your issue of February 4th you remark that "It is better that capital should come forward freely at low rates than that colonial trade and industries should be trammelled by a stringent money market at high rata of interest." No doubt an old toper would welcome more liquor when all j his own cash was spent, but I think it ■ ; would bo charity not to let him have it. Land is the source of all wealth, and land ; we have in abundance; in fact, more than will pay to cultivate. If we can't get our own living now, when can we expect to do so ? Wo have a high rate of wages com pared with the profits of small capitalists- I who will have to compete with this money. We have no encouragement to store our labour in gold if we are not allowed to make ; a fair exchange. If we were an industrious people we should have plenty of money of our own. Our land tenure has created ' a set of drones who consume our capital in foreign goods such as grog, &c. The only people who benefit from foreign capital are land-speeulator3 and large landholders. I will not tell a lie and say lanclotvners. Every shilling of this capital that is not actually required as a convenient mode of exchange will go into laud value, as we are not likely to open new industries while labour is fully employed at a rate that will keep the human machine in fair working order. If the unearned increment was taken by Government, we should h'nd that every individual in the colony would be in- Jj terested in voting all foreign capital a curse, jgm Oh, the wickedness of the New Zealanders rft- They are selling the non-residents the right ■ to tax their children and wickedly con- 1 suming the money in foreign goods. Take, -j all the unearnedincrements, and all this Trill 1 be changed.—l am, &c. Robisson Crusoe.

The Strongest Man in the World.

(To the Editor.) Sib, —The most extraordinary feat of I strength ever recorded in ancient or modern Vj history is narrated in tho leading article of I yesterday's '' Herald." It says mat Gordon •' '| Pasha "goes single-handed, and with' -;L-; £50,000 in gold on Ms person, through a fflj country full of wild tribes "engaged in fana tical war." Now, for tho sake of compari son, I may mention that some thirty years i 1 ago Mr Swanson carried on his person some 11 £2,000 worth of foreign gold for about a JH couple of years, as h6 could not get it nro--i?a| fitably exchanged in Auckland. At that/time v'^ Mr Swanson was in full strength, yet he .i Bayß that tho weight was a crusher. Gordoi -•-; I'asha is also a Scotchman, and a " Hielan-vM^ man " as well (I suppose Mr Firth wonld".••*•, call him an English gentleman), bat hs ' does not drink whisky, and is very regular | \ in his habits. (On one occasion the Prince .'. of Wales invited him to a dinner and ball, but Gordon declined the honour on tho plea • , that he always jrent to bed at half-past - _ nine o'clock.) Mr Swanson drank whisky, and was crushed with £2,000. Gordon Pasha drinks water, and goes freely about • r with twenty-five times that weight on his person, something like half-a-ton.. There- «3 fore rejoice, oh ye Newmanites, Good s;| TemplariteSjßlue Ribbonites.and Salvation-.; ,| itos, as this is tho most'glorious viatory oßga water over whisky that ever has been;6r jsj over shall be recorded.—l am, etc., W.

BICYCLING.

JonN Rolfe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Eng land and Australia, who at prosont, is opon to run a long-distance race with any bicyclist for the championship of tho world, gives his per^ sonal experience of the valuable properties of St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in hiarccent contest with Jno. Watson for the championship - of Australia 268, Elizabeth-strcot North, Melbourne, Victoria 23rd November, 1883. To tho Editor Auckland Evening Star, ft g Dear Sir,—l deairo to add my cheerful endorse- ■', roont of the good offeots I have at all times re ceived from tho use of St. Jacob's Oil when in activo training and racing. During my recent 6 days' contest hold in tho Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship or tho Australian and adjacent, colonies, it was my ; boon companion. I continually used it bofore and after each day's performance, and tho re sults simply astonished mo. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, via., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would becomo soro and stiff from over-oxertion, but alter beino; well-rubbed with tho oil nil muscular pain immediately vanished and I fcltasfrcsn as ever. As proof poßiti vo.af tor the contest was over, I rode 10J miles against tirao boforo apuo lio audience and accomplished it in 6 hours li minutes 45J seconds. Another application of ou .. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all foci- ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win tho match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. ': ■' ...■'•' I strongly advise all " wheolmon " and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour- | ably with my own. I remain,dear Sir, . ,S Yours truly, JOHNKOLFB.. ' CRICKKT.

In Choleraic Diurrhoia and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we havo witnessed its surprising controlling power. Wo have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Brownies fromallrm conviction that, it isdccldcdlythqbctft and a! -o from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is A deliiikuate nuKACU ok FAITH ON THK TAUT OF THE CHKMIST TO I'UESOKUUUI and l-ATiBNT AI.1K1;.
