MINING NEWS.

COROMANDEL.

TOOM THK " POROMAJTDEti MAIL."

MiviNd matter* have been at an exceedingly low übl. for, some time past. Work in nearly all the principle mines appears to bo at a standstill, yet we notice a letter in our contemporary, the lln-ahl, evidently written by a miner'on the Tokutcn, asking why a few companies should be allowed to mono poiise a lartre extent of auriferous ground biit: do not work it, find will not let it upon tribute, except at such an exorbitant per fontngo tlint-.it cannot possibly pay the miner to «ot it out. We confess we.cannot see the wisdom of this policy. If the ground will not pay the companies to work un their own account, surely they might permit others to try at something consider ably less than a fourth of the gross proceeds. The end will be that the industrious miners will be driven away for want of work, and then the ground will-be forfeited .by the Miniug Inspector, and the work ceased altogether. We think if the proprietors of the 61aima in question would reconsider their post actions in this matter, and allow their ground to be worked on a reasonable percentage, it would bo better for them and tho Hold generally. '. Matawai.— The manager reports good m-usliing material coming to hand from stones in .southern end. The drive going north is in very hard country ; the reef looks well, but no gold showing. The contract has been let for widening road to the battery, and will be pushed on with all speed.' Vizard's is still getting a Mir show of gold in the small leader. The general stuff Fs very good, but a large extent of country has to be stoped for a ton. Tho large leader will yield large quantities of stuff, which, when' the road is widened, will pay well. •• Matawai. No. 2.—The manager has a fine veef in hand, two feet thick, which looks well for gold, a? it is highly minera lized.

Unio.n Bkach.—The manager reports having; v good lender in hand in the inter mediate level. The country lins also very much improved. The stuff taken out of the winze in new reef has shaped fairly well, averaging about 1J ounces to the ton. He purposes to rise from the 180 feet level and take out a block of this reef.

CoBBV.—Tho manager report-i getting a few very rich specimens from the new leader, but as he could only get them on the floor of the drive, he has now tjone down the side of the hill and put into low level to test its value. It is about six inches thick, and line stone.

Tokatka.— The main .level is going in slowly,-but without any change. The tri buter.-i have done tolerably well, having made another nice little lodgment of about 50 ozs. gold from a small quantity of stuff. Royal Oak.— Ground still very hard ; no change in loader. Sccckss. —'Small patches"oTgoia continue to Cpnjo to hand from the stopest but nothing of any consequence.. Qitkkn- ok Esolakd.—The manager re port* a Bret-class .show of loose gold in the reef. Ho has nice easy way of working now, and no doubt it will pay well, but a lower level is required, as the gold is mostly on floor of the present drive.

TE AROHA.

[from Saturday's "te aroiia news."]

Colonist.—Owingto the quantityof water met with in the winze, sinking had to be discontinued last Saturday, after a depth of :iOft. had been reached. Connection with the low level will i oiv have to be effected by rising, but tliip work must remain in abey ance for some little time, as the drive be low has yet to be extended about 40ft. before the reef will be intersected. Work in that level has been at a standstill for a few days, th« contractors having given up .after driving about 70ft. No time will be lost in resuming opeiations. Stoping is .going on as usual over the intermediate level, a number of men being still employed at that work. The project of letting the blocking out of the reef by the ton has, we understand, been abandoned, and in all probability it will now be let by the fathom, a method which is likely to prove more satisfactory.

Canadian. —A place is now being cleared near the mouth of the Colonist level for the erection of a hopper, a tender for which lias already been accepted. Until this work is completed, which will be as quickly as possible, it ia not considered ad visable to send any more quartz to the bat» tery, as it can only be done now at consider

ITj:t:o.—The drive across the big reef has now been carried through more than 20 feet of solid quartz, and there are indications of the footwall being close at hand. The low level is in about 30 feet, and at 15 or 20 more the reef should be reached.

Diamond Gully.—Sinking is still going on on the reef in the old low level, and during tho week some excellent stone has been got, a portion of which may be classed as fair picked stuff. The country is still very hard and the water troublesome, con sequently the progress made is rather slow. New Flnd.—Work in the different parts of the mine is progressing satisfactorily. The winze on the No. 2 reef has now been sunk to a depth of about Goft., and good payable stone is still being got. Ihe reef averages 3ft. in thickness, and, from pre sent appearances, there is every reason to believe that the gold will bo earned through to the low level, which will cut the reef about 30ft. below. That level is now within 3oft. of the lode, and as the country has re cently got much easier the distance ought to be accomplished in a fortnight or little more. Uood progress is being made with the rise in the Arizona level, and in the winze going down to-connect with it, there being now less than 25ft between the two. The reef in both places looks as well as usual. From the stopes crushing stuff of good average quality is being got. Eurkka. —The wire tramway is now nearly completed, and in a week or ten days will be ready for the transmission of stuff. Things in tho mine continue to look healthy, and by the time the tram is finished every thing underground will be in good working order.

Waioroxgomai.—The treatling over the County tramway has now been erected, and a start made with the driving of the low level, There is nothing of importance to record concerning the upper workings. Inverness.—Aswaa reported last week, payable stone has been struck in the rlss from the low level, but owing to the broken and treacherous nature ol the ground there met with, it was considered advisable to sink instead of rise tho remainder of the distance between tho levels. Rising has therefore been discontinued, and sinking is now going on in the upper level.

Our Athlete's Verdict.

BICYCLING.

JoiTN Rolfe, Esq., champion bioycllst of Eng land and Australia, who at present is open U ran a long-distance rnca with any bicyclist for* the championship of the world, gives his per sonal experience of the valuable properties o! St. Jacob's Oil, as used by him in his recent contest with Juo, Watson for the championshif of Australia 208, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria, 23rd November, 1833, To tho Editor Auckxakd Evening Star. Dear Sir,—l aosiro to add my cheerful endorse mont of the good effects I have at all times re ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in activo training and racing. During my recent 6 days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and the championship ol the Australian and adjacont colpnies, it was my boon companion. I continually uaod it before and after each day's performance, and the re tiult3 simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past i until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and stllf from over-exertion, but after beine well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh aa ever. As proof positive.af tor the contest was over, I rodo 10:) miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 niinutos -151 seconds. Another application of St Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue and I f nit perf octly fit for another race. Am positive it aided nio to win tho match, and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bicyclo and St Jacob's Oil. I strongly adviso all "whcolmen" and other athletes to give It a trial, and Seal fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Rolfs.

I commend it toal1 footballers and cricketers." AQUATICS. EDWARD TRICKETT, Esq., one of the world c greatest oarsmen.—" I have found St. Jacob f Oil a sure and certain cure."

Hercules and Black "Doctor also ran. The former when holding a commanding lead, came'tb' grief at the third fence from homo and broke his leg, and had to be destroyed. There was a good attendance at the Pal meraton North Knees on Saturday. Sky. lark won the Hurdles, Scrutineer being second, and Exchange third. The Guineas fell to Somnus, tho Maiden to Exchange and the Flying Stakes to Armourer. In the Tradesmen's Puree, won by Mrey Tom, there was a suspicion that Minnot, frhich ran second, was pulled by Burr, bnt the stewards decided to wait for further evi dence.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Lumpers' Union.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Your correspondent of Saturday^, issue re the Lumpers' Union evidently1 desires a very arbitrary course of action, anil would like to see the privileges of the Union limited to British subjects. It is outside the Union's province to dictate to con : tractors at what price they shall accept con", tracts, so long as they subscribe to its con ■ ditions by paying the current rate of-wages-' and all, of whatever nationality, are^jn- • vited to join its membership roll' ' The Union expects, by free and unfettered • liberty, to recommend its members 'to the notice of commercial employers of' labour. And all employers of labour may be apprised that not tho slightest effort at • coercion will be used by the menrepresent-: ing the Union, and we expect this spirit of justice will be extended to the members of' the Association. — We are, etc. ■, James I Marshall (President), James BRbfarrjm ' (Secretarypro tern). ■■- ■- ■.:> ..! *-.lj

Holland and Fortzer's Bankruptcy.

(To the Editor.) • ...".■? "s, Sir,—As regards Holland's letter; I dis tinctly assert that my mother (Mrs Fortzer) '! was owed by the Sinn the sum of X7O, ' there being a contra account of some where about L 45 (there being a net suni owing her at this moment of about L 26), Moreover, Messrs Conneli dnd Cooper,' soli citors, can prove that my mother mortgaged a cottage and raised thereupon Ws* which - sum she handed Mr Holland to assist in i opening a branch store at Coromandel, and ' although she has ever since paid'lo per t cent.-for the use of the said L 75, she calls- ! for no recoup, either principal or interesti from the estate of the late firm. Ab • regards Mr Holland's statement, ' -which formed a portion of the local,- that ' my mother and family of six were' ' living on thefirm, Idenounco as a cruel falsa- ■ hood."4'wo out of the six (my sisters) were then earning their own living, and not'edst- "-I ing the firm one farthing; and as for tlie three others, my msther supported them out of her own legitimate earnings. They were never a drain on the firm. At the • time I joined Mr Holland he was deeply in debt, owing L6OO to trustees in: Barnott and Levy's estate, and that by our united industry that debt was wiped out. Aa re- " gards my retirement from the business, I begged Holland over and over- again to let : me retire. I did the same with L. D. " Nathan & Co. and Brown, Barrett, & Co.; ■ all without avail.— Yours, &c, •W, -G. FoKTZER.

In the assault ease heard before His Worship the Mayor and Mr i'rime, ' yesterday afternoon, in which Captain Senna was charged with assaulting a ' lad named Fred. Foster,, on boaVd the cutter Deveron, at the' Thames, the evidence was most' ; two seamen for the defence, named' Jones and ' Richards, swore that they were present and- saw the whole of the'affair.' Richards, or "Salts," as he 'was;: termed, declared that the boy first struck ' the captain, ■ which was too, absurd for ' acceptance by the Bench ; unlike salts and V senna, it needed a sweetness tq make the story so down with the Bench. , Salts ': affirmed that he told lies out of doors, but' \ not in Court.
