THE ANGLICAN MISSION.

les missioners who have for some- time past been expected to conduct the missions ci tho various Anglican Churches of tho Auckland dioceso arrived from England on Saturday morning by tho mail stenmor Anstrolia. The Key. C. Bodin^-ton, Vicar of Chiist Church, Lichheld, and the Key, G. B. Mason, rector of Whitwell, were' met on tho wharf by Archdeacon Dudley, of St. Sepulchre's, Kov. Mr Wai pole, of St. Mary's, Parnell, and the Eev, Mr Calder, of All Saints', Ponaonby. After a few congratulatory remarks had been made, tho party proceeded to Bishopscouri, where a short service was held. Bishop Cowie took Rev. Mr Bodington for a drive round the city and suburbs in the afternoon to show him the "lions." During tho past few weeks a house-to-house oanvaes has been made in various portions of tho dioceso in order to find out who really bßlong to tho Church. Copies of two letters by tho miaioners and Bishop Cowio havo been left atmany of the houses. That of tho mis Bionera sets forth the origin nnd objects of the mission, while that of Bishop Cowio explains the object of tho mission as follows : -"The purpose of this mission is to aid the . Church in her ordinary work of (1) instruct ing those who]are ignorant of tho Go3pol of our Lord Jesus Christ; (2) recalling to their allegiance to Him those who havo be came negligent of their duty as Christians ; (3) strengthening those who are conscious of their weakness and desirous of spiritual improvement; and (4) affording help gener ally to all who need to bo helped in the Christian life." The first of the services wll beheld on Friday evoning at St. Mat thaw's Church, admission being by ticket only. It 13 not the intention of the mif aonera to preach anywhere before tho openmg service on Friday evening, as they require a little rest after their voyago. On that evening, after the ticketholders havo secured tbeir seats, the meeting will bo open to tbepoblicat 7.30 o'clock. This afternoon a( tiree o'clock, a meoting of tho mission committee was he!d at Bishopsconrt, ftraell, when the clergy were formally introduced to the miasioners, and the necessary arrangements for tho forthcoming services were made.

Apablio Bocial gathering in connection with the Women's Christian Temperance Union takes place tonight, at 7.30, in the Yoong Men's Christian Association Rooms. Tbo Rev. S. ifacfatlane occupies tho cbair, and addresses will be given by tha Key. Moots Monro, Bavin, Hill, Smith, and other friends, interspersed with vocal and instrumental music by well-known amateurs,

Amannamed Agperby, from Mercury Bay, was admitted to the Hospital this morning wffeting from bruises and wounds to the Mfoot, od which a log had rolled.

Dear Sh-a,—l have completed my analysis of your s;imple of Tin Ore. I find it to contain v very hiirli per centago of Tin which makes the Ore valuable indeed, containinijas it does nearly ■11 per cent of Metallic Tin. This Ore occurring, In a tine slate niul In the centre of a coal district will speak for itsolf, when we see Unit the Tin lodes of Cornwall, England, contain on an average from halt' to one per cent, of Tin Ore and they arc worked proiitably. Tho ore as you sec by my analysis is a coinnlox oro, and 1 would suggest your working it as we worked our ores in Swansea, New South Wales, which ib as follows :— Ist. The Ore is purified of the Iron oxides



by concentration. 2nd. It is calcined at a red heat so as to burn oil' the Arsenic and Sulphur, and these metals go olf as fumes and are con densed in a small flue as white arsenic, which is of commercial value. 3rd. Tho Tin Ore is brought out of tho cal cining furnace, and has water thrown over it. It is then mixed in propor tion with coke and thrown into the oxidising furnace, which is kept at a high temperature, so as to send oil'the tin ua tin oxides, the fumes being con densed in a culvert. Thus the tm will leave behind it all its impurities as a molten rcgulas, which will keep run ning off. lib. Those fumes or oxidcaoftin arc taken from the condenser, and reduced into metallic tin on tho hearth of a reyer batory furnace, and then run into moulds.



The tin thus produced is of a pure nature, and perfectly free trom all the usual impurities of commercial tin, and will always command a high price in the market. In I'onclupiou, I will say that if this ore is worked in tho way 1 have mentioned, and governed by a steady and intelligent person, who will keep the furnaces working in order, I have good reason to think (having had ex puriem.'o with this process mysdl'l that the ven ture will prove to be one of ihc best and most remunerative industries in tlio colonies.



1 am, yours faithfully, H. M. JOHNSTON, Assayer, Onchunga. REPORT BY Jill LOCKHART. Auckland, 17th August, 1885. Messrs. Meek & Adam. Gentlemen,—At your request I left Auckland ami proceeded to tlio West Coast of the Middle Isluml o£ Now SScaluncl for the purpose o£ ex amining t!iu Great Western Tin Mining Com pany's Estate, and am enabled to report to you as follows:—



The ground which is held by the Company from the Govcruniei.l under the provisions of Hie Acl. is ::.>!) acre*, in extent; it is situated ud jauent to tho sea beach, to which in an almost straight line ii has about one mile of frontage at a distance oi about i,'i iniies north from the borough town 01 Westport. It is ail almost level plateau, rising four feet above high water mark, extending backward in a semicircular form into the bosom of a lofty mountain, and is covered with grass and occasional scrub. I examined the ground in several places to a depth of about eight feet, beyond which I could not go further on account of bottoni water, which I had no means thon at my disposal to contend with. Of this depth I found the upper two feet to consist of a light sandy soil inter mixed with granite and hard white sandstone shingle, under which fcr thq next six feet I found a subsoil of bright greyish black metallic sand, of which I have brought samples with me in small firmly secured canvas bags, marked 1, 2, 3,1, 5, being taken from different parts of the ground and from various depths. Portions of those I have given to Mr. H. M. Johnston for assay. Of ore similar in quality to that supplied to him six feet deep over tho whole area of ground could be supplied (free of any obstruc tion from water) at smelting works erected on the ground at a price not exceeding Is. per cubic yard. As I did not find in any instance tho slightest indication of bottom, a very large, if not a greater, amount of ore of the same Kind will be obtained at a slightly increased cost, on account of pumping operations which may be required, but as the ore by assay has been found to con tain principally substances specifically lighter than tin, all of which havo been disintegrated fiom the solid ores in the bosom of the moun tain (100 to 500 feet high) by the continuous action of water for ages past, this natural sluic ing action has carried out to sea the lighter por tions of the former compact ores, leaving tho denser metallic particles to form the bed which is the subject of this report, and it must be as sumed to a certainty tliat the lower down we find the disintegrated and naturally sluiced oro the much richer in the heavier metal it will be.



Coal of the best quality for smelting purposes is abundantly obtainable by a good beach road at low water within four miles of the Company s mine, and timber for any purpose which may lie required is obtainable in ciose proximity to the Company's proposed works. . From the results obtained by assaying, the amount of ore obtainable, and the facilities at hand for the economical working of the same, I am convinced that as a wealth-producing mine nothing approaching to The Great Western Tin Mining Company's undertaking has hitherto been attained in Xew Zealand.



lorn, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM LOCKHART, Eighteen Years Practical Victorian Miner and Mine. Manager,
