THAMES.

Thames, this day. RoO'KV. PoTvr.—A trial crushing of 25 loads of quartz from the low level produced s:iozs gold. As tho first crushing of tho young Company the result is most satis factory, more especially as the reef can be easily worked and the parcel was obtained within tlie compass of 80 feet. A large block of ground will be opened immediately Dakt. —The manager has obtained an un expected return of l{,ozs gold per load from a trial parcel of quartz from the Alfred loader. Very little gold was seen when breaking out tlie stuff, and a further test of ten or twelve loads will be made.

TE AROHA.

[FROM TODAY'S " TK ATtOHA NEWS."] New Find.—Operations are going on as usual in the different parts of the mine, but no change of any importance has taken place during the week. The No. 2 winze is down about 5S feet, and the reef is full 3ft wide. (Jold in paying quantity is still showing, and the appearance of the stone is favourable for its continuance. The sink ing of the other winze to connect with the rise in the Arizona level has been let at 39s (id per foot, and tlie work has been started. The rise and other workings in that level continue to yield stuff of good quality, and from the stope.s in the upper portion of tho level quartz of fair grade is also being ob tained. Tight country is still being en countered in the low level. Colonist.—A considerable number of tho wages men havo been discharged. This step is preliminary to the introduction of a new system of working, whereby it is an ticipated, ;wc presume, that .the mine ex penses will bo reduced. That the result of this system will prove satisfactory is exceedingly doubtful, but its introduc tion has been decided upon, and tenders will, we believe, bo immediately invited for taking out a large quantity ,of sluff at per ton. There are still about 20 men employed in tho stopes and other workings. The winze that is being sunk to meet tlie new low level is down about 30 feet. The reef is large, being about 5 feet in width, and there is still a fair show of gold in it. In the drive below the con tractors have met with some tight country. The face is now in over seventy feet. Canadian.—The satisfactory yield from the late crushing gives proof of the payable nature of the reef, the develepment of which will now, we believe, be vigorously carried out. The winze in the upper level has been sunk to a depth of 12 feet, the reef being from 4 to 5 feet in width, and producing stone of similar quality to that just crushed. As soon as practicable the face of the Colonist intermediate level will be carried in under the winze, and when communica tion between the two is effected, a consider able block of the reef will be opened up, and a large quantity of payable stuff be at once available. Diamond Gully. —Work in tho upper level has for the present been suspended, and attention is now being given to the sinking of a winze on the run of gold in the old low level. The country is very hard, and there is a considerable inflow of water, which rather hinders the work, only a few feet having as yet been sunk. Ths vein is about 2 feet in ihickness, and since sinking stone. ' What, however, with the water and the tight country, something good will be required to pay costs, but it may be as sumed that as soon as it is proved that the gold is likely to go down, other means of working the ground will be adopted. Waiokonuomai. — Owing to the abrupt nature of the ground and the limited apace at the mouth of the former low drive, it has been considered necessary to commence a new one at a lower level. A place for it is now being cleared away at a convenient height above the tramway, the bridging of which for the mullock tip is also being done. No cross-cutting will be necessary to strike the reef, which is expeoted to be found close to the surface, and should tlie country prove to be as favour able as in the drive above, a very short time will suffice to carry in the low level to tho supposed shot of gold left there. In the surface workings near to the Welling ton boundary a lime gold is still being got. Wellington.—The leader is still yielding "onio fair stone, and at each breaking down Kftid, more or less, is seen. Tho vein is at present about 8 inches in thickness, »

COROMANDEL.

FROM THE " COROMAKDEL MAIL." Tokatea.—Tlie tributcrs Knox and M'Neil have had another nice little crushing, and obtained ;")0 ozs. of gold ; this party although not as fortunate as to get atutf like Parker, have for years been able to find very rich stone, and their average earnings have been first-class. The main low level is still going on very slowly; the contractors have not yetsucceedod in cutting the soft channel of country expected to ba found on foot wall of big reef; this goes partly to show that the said reef has a greater underlie than was expected. Eakboitr View. — ParkY party of tributorts had a grand crushing of (ii pounds of specimens for the extraordinary return of 192 ozs. retorted gold. This is from the same loader from which they crushed 145 ozs. from four tons of quartz a few weeks ago. It is hard to say how long this will last, but the richness is undoubted, The Harbour View lias been exceedingly rich in patches for j \nany years past, but of late it was thought to be pretty well worked out, but this new find contradiots that, and is one more prooi of tho impossibility of knowing when a golden reef is really worked out, JS'o doubt after this many pieces of ground supposed to bo thoroughly total, will have another trial, Kapanoa.— The new manager, Captain Argall, is having a trial parcel takon from tho reef from various parts, intending to crush it to enable him to form an opinion as to whether it will pay or not. No doubt the plan proposed is very good so far as it goes, and would be a first-rate guide in testing a copper lode, but in this country the golden lodes are quite different, and will require a greater trial average to find the value of a reef. For Instance, he might take out a portion of a reef containing gold worth 30s. or 100s. per ton. Would he average the reef from that ? Perhaps the next ton or two would not go an ounce. The late crushing from the Harbour View is a sample of what we mean. We believe tho only fair test is to take out a consider able block of the reef, casing away what is known to be worthless, crush the balance, and avorage tho result. Fossicking here and there will never pay any company. Matawai.—Tho only work going on in this mine is driving level both ways on reef in southern end ; still getting good crush ing material in northern end. Expect to touch shot gold almost immediately. The paddock is full. Quartz ready for battery as soon as the road is available Matawai, No. 2.—Tho manager reports Retting a little gold in reef two feot thick. Nothing very rich at present. Union Beach.—The manager is pushing dv the various prospecting works. The results are very encouraging. Just-ijt-Tike. — We regret to see that ;lns mine and machinery is to be sold on rhursday next, at 10 a.m. Royal Oak.—Driving on the reof at low evol is still continned without any marked mange. Corby.— Tho manager 'reports obtaining i httlo gold from the leader marked in he surface level. The leader is about six nchqs thick, and. looks well.

Watches. TEWART, UaV/SON, & {jO.'S (OF LIVERPOOL) UNRIVALLED ENGLISH WATCHES!! TIIE BEST AND MOST PERFECT IN THE WOJ£LI>. SELLING IN HUNDREDS. Tlio Result of SOTRNCK. SKILL, INVEN TION, mid tho APPLICATION' of CAPITAL culmlnntinf* in the concentration of all tlio different branches of manufacture in onchugo factory, together with the. adoption of Uie most improved and edicient machinery. Unon this system our factory is organised, and the benefits that result therefrom may bo t lius summarised: —(1) The various processes of the trade, instead of. belliK curried on in thirty to forty dif ferent places, are nil brought under one mamw.ment. (•_') Seientilie machinery, with its wonderful exiietitude. is oinployed with incalculable iirtviuitiiHru for certain portions of the Wuti-li, which are jnarvcllously improved mid porlootod by this method of production. (IS) At the same time, and in conjunction there with, tlio services of tlio most highly-skilled workmen aro employed, thus blending the in teUU/enco iiml judgment of tlio cultivated arti ficer with the products of the almost animated machines, liy such a combination we may say that we have realised perfection in Watch manufacture, and are fully justified in the as sertion wo make, that in,the system us thusldeve loncd by us, there isaunityof idea, a coherence, and a lltncss that is not to he 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 us the introduction o( steam powor revolution ised tho industries of the World, so our unique system marks a new departure in the art and science of Watchmaking. Wo will now direct our attention to the com pleted Watch, and indicate as briefly as possible uome of the particulars in which tho quality of our Luver Watches may givo the challenge to : tha World. As in a building, so in a Watch, durability and stability depend largoly on the foundation. THIS FOUNDATION OF OUK LKVEU WATCH IS SOLIDITY ITSELF. Ourreadors would bo astonished if they saw thedißCof solid metal which is intended to form the PILLAK PLATK of the future Watch. This is turned, parallol ana true; it is recessed to receive the whoelwork under tho dial; it is fitted with pillars, upon which the top plate is placed ; and whon tlio pair of plates, technically FRAMES, made on our system, arc put together, they form a foundation within which tho wheels can ho run with a steadiness hitherto unattainable. Our frames are what is known as HOLLOW HACK, the seat of the dial being as solid and steady as the metal itself, giving an immense ud vantage uvcr tlio ordinary und cheaper make. EVERY WHEEL is accurately gauged, and is of an absolutely exact proportion, both in size and thickness, for the position und work for which it is intended. THK PIN lONS.-The samo remark, in the attainment of porf ect proportion, applies to the exquisitely polished sieeltoothed Arbor, known as tho PINION, which forms the axis of each wheel, and is intermediately the receiver of the power of tho mainspring. THE ESCARPMENT 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 tho hour, yet wear in Uiis most important part is unknown. Every separate action being jewelled in hard ruby, the unwearied pulse as a conseuuence will beat us freo, and the DEAD JilfiAT action will he as perfect in onq of our Watches in Fifty years' time us when it is lirst turned out. THE HALANCK STAFF.—The same remark of unlimited durability applies to the BALANCE .STAFF. This, working in its holes of jewel, drilled and polished to a perfect surface of the highest gloss, sei'ms to defy wear. THK HAIU-SI'RINCi is a marvel of fine apparent Impossibility) hardened, ana then tempered to the highest degree of elasticity. TIIE DIAL Is the best make, known as hard enamel, and has the seconds piece recessed, so that the band for marking seconds is completely removed from contact with the hour hand. The GILDING is of a very superior class, and tho movement is left with a degree of hardness that would be unattainable if the gilding were not frosted and llnifhcd by steam power. This hardness moans durability. The STEEL WORK throughout the Watch is hardened and tempered and finished to the highest degree. Tho CASE owes its formation to th« in fluences of Scientific Case-making Machines, each case, when II nished, showing a symmetry and style, combined with strength, that mark it as first-class. It is impossible to onumeratc every point of excellence in our Watches. AYe have not even mentioned the power of going during the operation of winding, which power in our system mm4 fails; norneed we enumerate any further. It simply remains* to say that the result of this organisation of labour, this out lay of capital, with the use of steatn power and machinery, issues in the production of a Watch that will stand the roughest wear and enjoy it, will dive its owner less trouble and more com fort, will yo more years and will cost less in re pair thnn uny other watch known—a Watch, indeed, that is at once the masterpiece of in genuity and accuracy, the praise 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 enrried by ordering one of them aa under:— order early. ori>i:r early.
