MINING NEWS.

(BY TNLEUIUI'II—OWN CORRGSVONDENT.)

THAMES.

Thames, this day. Rocky Point.— The second stopo produced about 81bs. of picked stono to-day, nnd tho reef in the faco of tho southward drive maintains a promising appearance, averag ing 15 inches in width. Caledonia.—The winze on tho Red Queen leader hns been sunk more than 70 foot below No. 2 lovel, and the reef still shows gold whenever broken. Tho manager has resumed driving on tho main reef on No. 2 lovel, and also on tho footwall branch.

TE AROHA.

Te Aroma, tliis day. New Find.—Since gold was struck, and the reef crossed in the low level last week, no time has been lost by the manager in completing preparations for a continuanre of operations there. A contract has been let for driving on the lode, and as soon an rails are laid from the mouth of the level to the shoot po that the quartz may be sent direct to the hopper, work underground will be resumed. The pinking of the No. 2 winze ie going on apace. The depth now attained is about 75 feet, and by the end of next week it is likely to be as far down as required. Good stone is obtained at each breaking down of the reef, and it may be regarded as a certainty that it will con tinue to the level below. Communication has now been effected between the upper winze and the riso from the Arizona lovel. The workings in that portion of the mine being now thoroughly ventilated.operations, which have for two or three weoks past been there somewhat retarded, will again bo vigorously pushed on. Concerning the uppei- blocks the news is of the usual satis factory character. Colonist. —Three shifts are now engaged in tbo low lovel, which it is expected will intersect the reef in about ten days, pro vided no worse country is met with than is now in hand. From the upper workings thero is nothing to record of more than ordinary importance. Canadian.—The erection of the hopper is now being rapidly proceeded with| and in a fowl days it will be ready for receiving quartz. As soon as it is completed, under ground operations (which are at present confined to tho sinking of the winze) will be proceeded with on an extended scale, and a regular supply of stuff procured for the butteryi Diamond Cully.—Good stone ia still being got in tho winze, but tho country is of th» usual tight description. Fortunately the water does not increase in going down, and therefore on that score tnsre in not likely to bo any difficulty encountered in sinking. The manager has received in structions to select a suitable place for a low lovel. Inverness.—Stoping is going on over the upper level on the reef in the lower part of the claim, and stone of fair quality is being obtained. A considerable quantity is now in tho hopper, nnd as soon as a supply sufficient to form a fair crushing has been got out, it will be forwarded to the battery for treatmont. Vermont.—The sinking of the winze in ■ the level below tho upper workings of In verness Company had been resumed, and payable quartz is atill being got from the small leader on which the winzo is going down. This is the samo vein from which the recent excellent crushing for tho Inver ness Company was taken. Waiorongomai.—Driving on the lino of tho reef in tho low level is going on. Tho lode is still much split up, but a good well defined footwall has now come in, and it is likely tho different veins will shortly come together. The face of the drive is still some 15 feet distant from the line of the supposed run of gold met with in the level above. Things are looking very healthy on the hill. The Eureka crushing is showing up for a good payable yield. The Piako County Council are seeking to obtain a title to- the tramway from the Warden. Realising the many interests involved, tho vital importance of the matter to the goldfield, and tho responsi bility resting upon him in the matter, the Warden has drafted an agreement, which now lies at the Warden's office for inspec tion by all practical men, and suggestions nnd alterations respecting tho same are Invited. ±._

COROMANDEL.

FROM THE " COROMASDEL MAi;',." Tokatka.—No change in main level. The ground is still very hard, and progress slow. Royal Oak.—The reef in low lovel looks fir^t class. Nothing payable so far, but rich gold may bo got at any tirno. Cokby.—Tho Hrive to intersect the new lender is going in rapidly, and should soon cut the reef. Harbour View.—Parkes' tribute still looks grand, and there is every appearance of another rich crushing shortly. Homeward Uocnd made another start to take out crushing stuff from the little leader. Unfortunately the trial from the largo reef did not prove payable. Queen of England.—The drive to cut ♦■he reef is making rapid progress. Some thing like half the expected distance has beon driven. Union Beach.—Tho Green Harp inter modiate level looks first class, although very little gold has been obtained up to the pre sent. Tho manager is very sanguine of being able to pick up the old run of gold. Mariebel.—The manager reports getting good crushing stuff from various parts of tho mine, somo of it showing gold freely. He is gradually getting the mine into good working order, and will be able to have a crushing shortly. Vizard's.—Things are moving on very quietly in this mine. They have a fine largo reef said to be worth 1J ounces to the ton, but none has yet boon tried, owing to the difficulty of getting it to the battery. The Bmall leader is still looking well, and no doubt would pay woll if a little more vigorously worked. MATA w Ai t —The manager reports the reef a good deal broken in the drive going north. Vory little work has boon done in southern end, except preparing the ground for stop ing when the road ts clear to the buttery. Another paddock has been made to hold stuff, and -will be found very useful. Matawai, No. 2.—The shareholders have not yet succeeded in picking up anything payable. They havo a nice reef iv hand, but can only get colours by pounding. There is some slight doubt as to whether it is tho same as the Matawai reef. It is just possible they may havb somo distance to drive along the reef before getting gold. >

HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clair View.lnvorell, Deo. 10,1883. Messrs Publishers Evening Stab. Dear Sirs,—l bog to acquaint you of a marvel lous enro following on tho use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken plaoo in my own family, I an) a poor man with eight children, and for yeara have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St, Jacobs Oil. She procured a bottle, and I have been using it of late with good results, but it is of my eldest daughter, 13 years of age, that I wish to tell you. She retired ono night, about i months ago, in her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and applied tho usual remedies, without effect My wife took her to Inverell to soe Dr , who said that it was not a cold, but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and ho prescribed ood liver oil and other medicines, and also advised her to inhale tho fumes of Stockholm tar, say- Ing she might never recover her speeoh again. At tho expiration of a fortnight, the medicine having been finished, another visit to the pi\ was made, who again prescribed for he*>, but told my wito be had no hope of her ever being able to speak again. We began to despair, but the day I nsod the oil—about three months af tot iiho was takon ill—l persuaded my wife, after we .had retirod, to use the oil. She got UP and gave tho girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on hei throat. Next morning we were dolighted to find that she oould talk as well as ever, and has been able to 0 0 so ever since. I remain, gentlemen, gratefully yours. JAS. E. HATCHER, -• ■ . ■ r

SPORTING.

THE NEW ZEALAND CUP.

Ficon files to hand this week I gather that the handicap for tho New Zealand Cup has, on tho whole, boon favourably received in tho South. The following are the "fancies" of tho various scribes :— ■'Sir Launcelot" (N.Z. Referee) has commenced an extended notice of the han dicap, and favours the following lot so tar as he has gone :-Oudeiß, Salvage, Tur quoise, Sou'wester, Taiaroa, Nelson.Krupp, Sir Bedivere, and Minerva. "Senex" (Weekly Press) aaysi-Sou- Woster, Talebearer, and Tim Whiffler 1 look upon as the pick of the basket, but 1 by no means dospise the claims of Wel come Jack, Tasman, Oudeis, Johnny Faulkner, Leonora, Ike, Liverpool, Krupp, Tho Poet, and Captain Webster, and besides these thoro aro soveral North Island horses with whose antecedents I am so insufficiently acquainted that it would be absurd of me to criticise their chances. " Actreon " (Canterbury Times) says the handicap is for from first-class as regards those weighted below Bst., some among them being badly brought together, while others aro very well let in. Of those down to Sst., he likes Tasman, Oudeis, Non sense, Vanguard, Turquoise, and Johnny Faulkner. From a cursory glance over the list " Beacon " (Otago Witness) likes the look of Sou'wester, Vanguard, Nonsense, Johnny Faulkner, Siesta, Captain Webster, Carlton, Holderness, and LMgby Grand best. "Mazoppa" (Saturday Advertiser) writes: —The handicap for the New Zealand Cup seems to give general satisfaction ; at any rate no one horse has, so far as I am aware, been spotted as a "ckuck in," though it is by many people thought that some of the light weights ought for safety's sake to have been taken more care of. As it is my intention to criticise the handicap in detail at an early date, I forbear at present from committing myself to any opinion an to which horses are the best treated. The Betting Market. Oudeis, Ike, Sou-wester, Vanguard, Talebearer, Captain Webster and Sir Bede vere seem to be most in favour, and 1,000 to 40 has been taken about the latter. The following may be said to be the state of the odds in Christchurch :— 100 to 8 agst Oudeis, Ike, Vanguard, and Sou' wester 100 — 7 Johnny Faulkner and Nonsense 100 — C Tasman and Captain Webster 100 — 5 Nccklace,Taiaroa,and Lady Emma 100 — i Sir Bedivere 100 — 2 Gold Coast and Cheviot In Auckland, Tim Whiffler is in most favour, and all the available money at 100's to 6 has been picked up, but it is scarcely ne cessary to say, not for the stable. Fusilier, Nelson, Trenton, Sou-wester, Ike, Neck lace, and Sir Bedevere have also been supported, and 500 to 10 has been booked about the two Krupps for the Derby and Cup. On two or three occasions negotiations have been entered into by different Auck landers for tho purchase of the cross-country horeo Alaric, but somehow or another the bargain was never concluded. Some days back, Koss Heaton went down to Wanganui tor tho purpose of buying him for a Cam bridge sportsman, and returned on Thurs day last. He tolls mo that ho was success ful in his mission, getting him for £225, but he does not intend bringing the horse up hero at present. Alaric, it will be re membered, won the Wanganui Steeplechase three years ago, and, strange to say, has never ran since. From " Sir Launcelot's " notes I gather that Welcome Jack is among the nomina tions for the Melbourne Cup. He is entered in the Hon. W. Robinson's name, although it it stated he is still the pr«perty of Mr Pilbrow. The Grip Lodge party, it appears, have for some time past been in negotiation for the purchase of the brilliant son of Traducer and Miss Flatt, but so far without leading to business. The yearling colt by King of Clubs out of Watersprite, now an inmate of B. Cutt's stable, has been honoured with the appro priate name of Water King. Owing to his bad luck this season, Mr Montague Smith intends retiring from the turf. Sir George, the Wanganui Cup winner of ISSI, is to be put to the stud in the Marl borough district. According to "Senex" there has been more speculation on the Canterbury Derby of 1884 than on any previous one. The following are the quotations:—4 to 1 Tren ton (tkn and off); sto 1 Liverpool, Krupp, and Eskatos; 6to 1 Lady Evelyn; 7to 1 Watersprite colt; Bto2o to 1 the others. Willie Butler made his debut as a cross country rider in the Heathcote Steeple chase on Mustard. He signalised the occasion by a fall, but did not sustain any injuries. Mr A. Frater's two-year-old filly High land Mary, by Grandmaster—Sshe Novice, won the Royal Park Stakes at the Sydney Turf Club Meeting, beating a field of 20. Hippona.

; » t . ■ | (Before R. Sinclair, Esq., J.P. (in the chair), Messrs A. McLood and J. Slattor.) Thk annual licensing meeting for this dis trict was held at noon on Friday in the Holonsvillo Court-house, Constable Fore man, the district inspector of licensed houses, representing the police. Tho fol lowing applications were entertained :— . . TRANSFEB, K a vk apakapa Hotel.—H. A. Ellison to Patrick Cox.—Granted. - ' RENEWALS. ■ ~. ■ ■: , Helensville Hotel—Joseph. Flood.— Granted 11 o'clock license. Terminus Hotel — Walter Scott.— Granted 11 o'clock license. Kaipara Hotblt—Daniel McLennan.—' Granted 11 o'clock license. "'« Riverhead Hotel (Riverhead) — Thos. Deacon.—ln reference to this hotel a lettor from John Lamb, the Chairman, was put in drawing attention to the way he alleged the hotel was kept. He complained that a large amount of spirits* was sold there, the people getting the drink and carrying it away even on the Sabbath day.' He assured the Committee he had frequently .seen men and women lying together in the street about'Riverhead drunk. He-hoped that if the license was granted it would be endorsed that no person should be supplied if under the influence of drink, and that there should be no Sabbath trading, and that 19 o'clock be the hour of closing, tq prevent annoyance- to the neighbours. There was also, another letter to the police, stating that a wotnan. had been seen by him in Riverhead, apparently drunk, some time ago. Mr Deacon, whilst admittingl that during the 15 years he had conducted the house a largo amount of liquors had been supplied under .his licence, denied that he sold drink on the Sabbath, as alleged by Mr Lamb, and he only applied for a 10 o'olook license as usual. He believed f* woman had: been taken ill some time back in the' district, but had he scon her or known of it at the time he would certainly not have acted like the Levite of old,—The police report being favourable, the Bench granted the renewal, a,nd hopod Mr Deacon would conduct the house in as creditable manner as heretofore. Whiie House Hotel (Kumeo)—Thomas Deacon, junr.— In this case the Inspector reported that' the house was generally fre quented by a clans of men known as gum diggers, that the premises required repairs, and were, dangerous in case of fire on ac count of the limited mea.ni of egress.—Mr Deacon, junr., stated that repairs and additions would be made to the note!, and fire escapes should be provided.—Granted 10 o'clock license Bridge Hotel (Kaukapakapa)—Robert Dronnin.—Granted 10 o'clock license, Kaukapakapa Hotel—Patrick Cox.— Granted 10 o'clock license. ■ ■• • ■■ ' * '■'■'•'
