OUR GOLDFIELDS

MOANATATARI EXTENDED. - The mine manager reports :-" Tho country In the Southern crosscut at No. 3 still maintains it* favourable appearance, and this evening I obtained a few strong colours of gold from a small vein in she eastern side of the drive Where the gold is visible the vein is about one inch thick, and on the junc tion with a black mineral seam. These mineral veinsarecrossingtheface in all direc tions but the quartz vein in some places is only half-an-inch thick and running nearly the same course as the drive. There is another small quartz vein showing in the centre of drive. These veins will, I hope, lead ub to something better. I have never seen better country for carrying gold-bear ing quartz on the Thames. drive is now in 90 feet from chamber."

Iron Ore and Lime for Fluxing,

KAKANCunAKK, this day. Dorino tho present week several miners have been out hunting for iron ore, and havo succeeded in discovering several large lodos which are said to be admirably suited for fluxing purposes. Ono of these lodes is situated within eaay distanco of the Woodstock furnace, to which it can bo convoyed at a comparatively trifling cost. A soarch is now being instituted for lime, of which strong indications are obtainable between hero and at Owharoa. These facts give tho Ho direct to tho writer of a paragraph in laat Friday's " Herald," who statod that there wore no fluxes suitable for smelting purposes in this neighbour hood.

Crown.—On Saturday laat, five cwt. of picked stone was obtained from the Btopea above the low level, and there was a good show left in the face.

Imperial.—The manager has suspended work in tho level, which is now in a dis tanco of 85 feet, and has started to sink a winzo at a point in tho level where stone allowing gold freely has boon obtainpd from the reef, which avoragos 3 feet in thickness. Tho Argontine lovel ia now in a distanco of 57 foot, and tho roof should be mot with in another 0 foot of driving. Gladys.— A start has boon made to drivo on tho rocf at a depth of 30 foot beneath tho surface, and not far from tho boundary of tho company's ground. The lodo horo is 3 feet thick, and some of tho stono shows goli occasionally. Golekn Point.—ln tho mino, a roof avoraging 3 foot thick has been drivon upon for a distanco of 35 foot, and from liore there is now to hand a good sized parcel of quartz, which Bhould yield handsomely when subjected to tho smelting process. Rose,—Driving northwards on reef in tho low level has boon resumed, and during the present wook tho manager expocts to meet with tho shot of goid which waa workod up in the intormediato lovel with such marked success.

Silvku Mint.— Tho prospecting; level is now boing driven on a loader 18 inches in thickness, and some of the stones show gold, with good indications for silver. Kenidwortu —This mino looks better now than at any othor stage of its develop ment. Stone is coming to Hand abovo the low level as well as from the rise above tho intermediate, Tho working shows a fair porcentago of gold, and indications ci its being rich in silver are not wanting. Tho roturns from a 20 ton parcel tent to tho Smelting Works, Thames, are not to hand, but it has leaked out that the result will bo about four pounds per ton. This parcel was sorted and bagged by a man who professed to know his businces thoroughly, but it in very questionable whether a knowledge of ore-claesing acquired in California would enable him to dotermine tho valuo of one here. In fact I havo hoard it stated that sorao of tne ore rejected, und which is now lying in a heap at tho mouth of the mine, is far superior in quality to that which was sent to tho Thames fot smelting purposes.

Scotia. —Tho crushing which is now being passed through the battery for this mine is not fjhaping so wall as was antici pa ted, but a eucond parcel ia boinp sent down for treatment, and from this shareholders expect a good return.

Pkvkril ok tub I'kak. —Two levels are in operation in this mine. One of these is being drivon alonpf tho course of tho lodo which is about 18 inches thick, and carries fair prospects of gold. A socond one is in progress with a view to intersecting the soutliorn continuation of tho Scotia reef, which should bo in hand about tho end of tho present week.

Waihi, this day.

Unitrd,—The lodo hns beon cut into for a distanco of 4 foot, and as yot thoro uro no signs of tho hanging-wall. Tho stone broken out is precisoly similar in chaactor and appearance to that obtainable from tho Roseinont mine.

Colonial and Indian Exhibition.

A meeting of tho General Committees of the above was hold yesterday afternoon in the room of the Chamber of Commerce. Present: Hie Worship tho Mayor (Chair man), Messrs J. A. Hnrnomnn, C. T. Wren, J. Chambers, Cranwell, and Lees. Tho Secretary read tho report, which stated that at the first there was an utter absence of onthuKiaem, or ovon of anything ap preaching lively interest in tho matter, but, by dint of peraovorauco, a koenor interest began to bo aroused, and as a result of their labourß,applicationstothonumberof 72 have boon rocoived, and of tho valuo of £4,000. To tho Province of Auckland, which may fairly claim to be considered the most im portant and promising portion of the colony, such a successful issue must bo vory gratifying, as thb exhibits, from their variety, will furnish an approximately adequate representation of its natural resources and industrial skill. Thoso do not include tho mining exhibits which have been collected at the Thames, nor tho building stones, wool, grain, fruit, and othor farm produce. The Government are also vory dosirous of proving what excel lent cheese can bo manufactured in Now Zealand, and by last mail havo offered to purchase from the Waikato Cheese Factory, 200 to 3001b of their vory best choose, to go by the Fobruary or March stoamor, the cheese to be exhibitod in their name, and to be judged by experts and used in the restaurant. As the factory will havo all tho credit, it is hoped that they will arrange to supply the cheese. Tho Committoo also pointed out the neces sity of Samoa and its trade resources being represented, and that tho cost of transmit ting exhibits from Samoa should be bomo by the Government. This request has been complied with, and as Liout. Powell, the recently appointed Consul for the Navigator Islands, has been advised in timo, it is anticipated that the " Islands" (Samoa, Tonga, Rarotonga, and others) products will be fairly loprosented. The Committeo also ad dressed tho Commissioner on the subject of reduced steamship fares, to enable colonists of moderate means to visit the Exhibition. The New Zealand Shipping Company were communicated with, and they have replied to the Commissioner that " the mattor is not definitely settled, but it is improbable that any roduction will be made on single tickets. Ratoa will probably be £63 single, £100 return. The interests of art and education will bo well reprcsontod, tho former from the acknowledged excellence of pictures, &a, by Auckland artists, and the latter through the able report drawn up by Mr Worthington. By the steamer Ruapehu, which left this port on Saturday, exhibits, amounting to 47 tons and of the declared value of about £1,700, were shipped. There are a number of other exhibits to come forward, but owing to their character, require to be kept back to the latest possible date. These will require to be. shipped in timo to catch the Ruapehu leaving Wellington for London about 15th January next.*- Tho Chairman moved the adoption of the report, and lamented the paucity of at tendance at the meeting, but suggested that it was a proof that the exhibitors had every confidence in the Committees they had appointed.-The report was unani mously adopted.-The Chairraau : stated that Dr. Yon Haast had courteously allowed additional time to some exhibitors who wished to forward certain extra exhibits There were exhibits from the New Zealand Frozon Meat and Storage Company Tobacco Company, Norrie Bros., cabinet makers, also a doctor's landau, by Baston Bros. Be also remarked that Dr. Yon Maast had expressed great pleasure at the character and number of exhibits received from Auckland, which he con sidered were calculated to do credit to the 'district. He further stated that Lieutenant Powell, British Consul at Samoa, had written stating that he would

be happy to forward any productions from i that country, also stating that he hud seen King Malietoft nnd ho had expressed delight at being noticed by such a great country nn England, and promised to for ward a little of oach of tho bosfc products of Samoa. Tho King had also requested that at tho conclusion of the exhibition tho articles forwarded from Samoa might be handed over to the British Museum. Hib Worship then moved that a vote of thanks be given to the various subcommittees for the excellent manner in which they had performed the duties devolving upon them. Thi3 was carried unanimously. Ho also moved a vote of thanks to their honorary, secretary, Mr Menzies, without whose efforts the number of Auck land exhibits would have been much smaller. He was sorry that at present nothing more substantial than mere thanks could be tendered to that gontleman.— Mr Menzies returned thanks, and said that Dr. Yon Haast had been of great assistance by his prompt action in replying to all com munications Jorwardod to him requiring in formation. Secretary for Dr, Yon Haast. Mr Horneman waited upon the meeting for the purpose of urging the advisability of tho Committee sanctioning the appointmont of Mr ( allis as Secretary to Dr. Yon Haast. —His Worship stated that having been written to about this matter he had made inquiries and learned that Mr Callis would not bo appointed; neither would tho Government appoint any person in the colonies. A vote of thanks was accorded tho Chair man and tho mooting closed.

Bricklayers v. Masons.

(To the Editor.)

Sm, In your Friday's impression Mr Ed ward Byrne has condescended in answer to my letter of the 10th to state that ho does not know who built the Wellesley-street sewer, but does know that tho CouncilV bricklayer happened to be a mason. That may be so—it is near twelve years since the Tyrone Buildings wore being erected in Customs-Btreet. He, the bricklayer, had the contract for the erection of the brickwork, and has followed the bricklaying both in Wellington and Auokland sinco, and is also a member of the Bricklayers' Society. Ininy last letter when quoting the Wellesloy aud Cook-street sewers, I have unwittingly bocn the cause of painful feelings to the con tractor, for which I hasten toapoligise. It was his misfortune, not his fault, for what happened. Amongst Mr Byrne's other qualifications, I cannot compliment him for his good breeding, iv descending from argu ment to abuse, which I take as an admiss ion of defeat by h'm. In conclusion, I desire to close this correspondence, and regret that it was necessary on my part to (?o bo far,—Yours, &c,

John Jas. Hunter, Secretary,

JNfEW ZEALAND FROZEN MEAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A. Bull, Esq. D. L. Murdoch, Esq. J, Banks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskkv, Esq. Hon. J. Williamson. Sir F. Whitaker, X C.M.G. The Company begs to notify to the public that the works at Auckland and the Wnitara have now been completed, and constitute the most extensive Meat-preserving and Freez ing Works in Now Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT la now open at tho Company's Works at the Railway Wharf, wlioro Town and Country orders will bo attended to with the utmost promptnoss and despatch. The Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality ef its Primk Meat, ac selected for tho market from largo quantities of first-class Wost Coast stock, dealt with nt the Company's Works, Wnitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to the Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can bo cured in mild pickle, and tho necessity of cutting up in smaU pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, hero and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on band. BACON-CURING. The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-curing at tho Company's Works in Auckland are now so far advanced that this New Industry nas boon commenced, and choice Hams and Bacon can bo offered cured on the most modern principle. Particular attention will bo paid to the selection of fio.s fob this use, and on no account will any except Dairy on Corn Fkd Figs bo purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory, MEAT-PRESERVING. This branch is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. Tho Company would speoially call attention to the fact that tho COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED IN THE SQUARE CAN (The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of tho world that has been able to compete successfully in the London Market with the beat Chicago brands Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called comprosaed meats! were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was tho first consideration but meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded tho highest commendation and placed on tho register of accepted brands. ' The following extract from the letter of tho Company's Agents in London, the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is referred to, who write as follows:— "We n»ve the pleasure to hand you herewith an extraot from a loiter received from thn Wn» Office, Army Department:-"Samples of tho Poach Brand of the New Sand Puck n£ S Bubmitted by you. have been tested and proved, and the Brand will bo added to the Selertflfl iftf of tho Department" This now entitling you to the privilego or comp ting, wo thorrforo tendewd nn your behalf at 80s 3d per 1121b £ and to-day wero grat'fledto hoar that the offer had been accented tofiffi^wSZSSbS* °Wthigher thanthe leadiDß Amorican brands, showMt Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of tho Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the New South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, the Company haa been unable to_ comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which thoy may bo favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter Depot at thoir Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now being prepared. ° It is anticipated ' that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ovorincroasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a resular nnd satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Freeh Eggs. Communications may at ovn : >m i.miressed to them. The utmost care will be taken iv tbo selection of Butter for table use. This will be made up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will be delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailors will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a tablo delicacy throughout the year. The department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellyott who*e Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ' ACID AND MANURE WORKS, The Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manure?, have requested Prof. Brown, of the Auckland University, to act as their Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to tho Analysis of the Superphosphates. The Company will defray the cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased direct from them aDd duly sampled, the result of which may be proved to fall below the guaranteed standard, and also allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for the deficiency. Samples and further information may be obtained at the Works, Otahuhu or at the Office, Railway Wharf. ' STORING. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for storing General Merchandise, etc., at current rates. The Storks have a line of rail running through the building to the end of the Rail way Wharf,-so that all cartage, either by rail or vessel, is avoided. All goods stored are aded and unloaded under cover, hydraulic lift and other appliances being available. .Cable Address, "Iceberg"!
