MINING NEWS.

(Phom the "CoromandelMail,")

Matawai.—This claim continues looking first rate. Splendid stone coming to hand from stopes. Nearly one hundred tons quartz in paddock, but tho road to battery is impassable. SMatawai No. 2.—The men working this ground have got a splendid reef, and, judging from what their neighbours are doing, are sure of getting gold. Vizard's party are getting out some first-class gold from small retsf. The more this ground is worked the better it is. Two new claims have been pegged out in the vicinity during the past week, and there is oveiy appear ance of a strong rush setting in, it being all virgin ground and well worth prospecting.

Makiebel. —The Manager is diligently overhauling the claim endeavouring to trace up the old run of gold. As soon as he can get the lay of the country he will put' on a staff of men to develop its riches.

Tiernan's.—Nothing has been done in this mine for many months, although there are several parties willing and anxious to take portions on tribute. Why this dog in-the-manger policy ? Either work it or let others try.

Homeward Bound.—Getting rich stuff from the small leatler, but the ground is very hard, and progress slow. A crushing will be taken from the large reef shortly. The stuff shows gold, but hardly sufficient to pay.

Success.—The late extraordinary return from this mine has given fresh life to the group of claims immediately surrounding it. Work will be pushed on with vigour, and, no doubt, good gold will be got.

Royal Oak.—Have a grand reef to hand in low level. Every characteristic of gold bearing stone, but nothing has been done beyond cutting through the reef. We feel confident when this is worked upon rich patches will be obtained.

Union Beach.—Tho manager is pushing on winze in reef; stone looks well, but nothing expected until good depth la reached.

SAD DISOWNING ACCIDENT.

Young Man Drowned at Te Arofca.

(BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Te Aboha, this day. A sad fatal accident occurred near here on Good Friday, at noon, by which William Onyon, a young man of 18 years of age, the eldest boh of Mr K. Onyon, Thames steam boat agent, came to an untimely end. It appears that the young man was in charge of a barge load of timber intended for use in the completion of the railway from Hamilton to Te Aroha, and was being towed to Te Aroha by the steam tug Huia, Captain J. M. Syms. Young Onyon was steering the barge, and was the only party on board the same. Coming round the sharp bend of the river, close to where the Government lately carried out drainage works on Government block near Mr Ed wards's holding, about eight miles from Te Aroha, it ie supposed the tiller drew out somewhat from tho hole or mortice in which it works, and the barge un expectedly slewing round, in seek ing to right her course the poor man brought heavy presssure to bear, causing the tiller to snap short off. The tiller was seen to break suddenly by those on board the Hura, precipitating the young man over the side of the barge into the water. The fall would not be more than a couple of feet, but the water is for some distance round some 15ft. deep. He quickly rose and at once struck out being an excellent swimmer. The Captain at once began to bring the tug round to reach him, at the same calling out to Onyon "swim to the. shore my boy." He replied "all right," and commenced doing so. He got along all right until within about 20 yards of the bank, when he got into a strong eddy and quickly seemed to get exhausted. He called out to the captain, " I can't keep up any longer," and suddenly sank, never once after coming to the surface. The river is about eighty, to ona hundred yards wide at the place. The ac cident occurred near the centre of the river. The captain had the tug almost directly on the spot, and did what he could, but no trace of the poor lad was afterwards seen, and the captain after a short time steamed to Te Aroha to get assistance and break the news to the lad's father, who was at To Aroha. Sergeant Emerson and Mr Georgo Wilson returned with grappling irons, &c, at once, and dragged all about for several hours, returning to Te Aroha at midnight. A fresh party, with sergeant, left on Saturday morning to try and recover the hody. The greatest sympathy is felt for the parents in their sudden and great bereavement. They quite recently lost another child. Mrs Onyon is in a "very delicate state of [health. The occurrence was purely accidental.

BICYCLING.

JOHN Rolfe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Eng land and Australia, who at present is open to run a long-distance race with any bicyclist for the championship of the world, gives his per tonal experience of the valuable properties of St Jacob's Oil, as used by him in his recent contest with Jno. Watson for the championship )f Australia

268, Elizabeth-street North, Melbourne, Victoria.

23rd November, 1883. To the Editor Auckland Evening Stab. Dear Sir,—l -»«slro to add my cheerful endorse mem of the good offecta I have at all times re ceived from tho use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my reoent a days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and tho championship of* the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re sults simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after beine well-rubbed with the oil all muscular pain immediately vanished' and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive.af tor the contest was over, I rode 10U miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in 6 hours 11 minutes 451 seconds. Another application of St Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all fuel ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly flt for another race. Am positive it aided me to win the match. and I shall never enter a similar contest without a bioycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all "wheelmen" and other athlotes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own. I remain, dear Sir, Yours truly, John Route. CRICKBT. DAVID SCOTT, Esq., of the firm of Messrs Boylo and Scott, Cnckotand Football Depot, Melbourne, Victoria.—" St Jacob's Oil re lieved mo at once o£ pain. I commend it to all footballers and cricketers."
