THE TRUNK RAILWAY.

MEETING OF AUCKLAND AND TARANAKI MEMBERS.

SUSPENSION OF THE CENTRAL RAILWAY UNANIMOU LV

RECOMMENDED.

AN EXHAUSTIVE SURVEY OF THE STRATFORD ROUTE ADVISED.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

Wellington , , this day. V meeting of Auckland and Taranaki members was held this morning re the above. Present Sir George Grey, Major Jackson> Messrs Peacock, Withy, Moss, Moat, Monk , Kelly, Cadman, Hamlin, Goldie, Thomp son (T), Thompson (R), Lawry, Marchant } Samuels.

Sir George Grey declined to take the chair and Mr Peacock was voted thereto. Mr Peacock had previously pointed out the routes and projected x'outes which would in all probability come on for consideration at the meeting, and this with a few remarks ho made when formally opening the meeting. He manifested a great familiarity with the whole question. A length} discussion of a somewhat de sultory nature ensued, but there was re markable unanimity of feeling, more es pecially on the question of the desirability of stopping afl work at both ends of the Central line beyond those embraced in con tracts already let, as the completion of The Central time would involve an outlay far beyond the sum which the circumstances of the colony would justify it in spending whilst io M r as equally manifest that a cheap and practicable route could be found between tiie point to which it was already constructed at the Waikato end and some point on the Stratford line which would only make the line of railway four miles longer to Wellington from Auckland than it is by the central route. The cost of constructing a viaduct across a gulf in the next section of the. line to be let at the Marton end was ostimated to cost from £45,000 to £60,000, and it was unanimously resolved that no further contracts ought to be let on the Central Route between the tunnel at the Waikato end and Hunterville at the Marton end, and that during the recess an exhaustive survey should be made, in order to discover the cheapest and most practical route to connect with Taranaki from the point already con structed in the King Country,, and that a committee consisting of Major Jack eon, Messrs T. Thompson, Samuels, March oufc and the mover ((Jadman) be appointed to wait upon the Ministers to represent the wishes of the meeting and urge upon them the great desirableness of giving practical effect thereto.

PROTECTIONISTS MUSTERING

MR MOSS HANDLING THE APPLE OF DISCOKD.

WILL HE CAST IT ?

"TANTAMOUNT TO WANT OF

CONFIDENCE."

(BY TELEGRAr-H—OWN REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. Since 1 wired you this morninpr Mr Moss has been persuaded to call a meeting of Protectionists for to-morrow. If it is the wish of those present that Mr Moss should mov e a resolution affirming the desirability of dealing with the protection of industries through tho Customs this session, he will do so. Such a motion is almost sure to be accepted as a want of confidence by the Government, and will give a new turn to the debate now proceeding.

HIKUTAIA.

Mb Mcßbinn, the prospector of the Hiku taia Goldfield, and Mr Corbett who is largely interested in the prospector's claim is here just now, superintending the test of stuff at present being conducted for them by Messrs G. Fraser and Sons. The result of the treatment of the first half ton will be to hand this evening, and though incomplete, sufficient is known to provo that the return will be a highly satisfactory one. We understand that it is proposed to form a com pany to work the ground, of which Mr D. G. _ MacDonnoll, long and favourably known in connection with the Thames and Ohinemuri mines, will be the legal manager. There should be no lack of capital for in vestment in theenterprise and we look forward to the development of the-Hikutaia goldfield as one of the most im portant events that has taken place in the goldmining history of this provincial dis trict for many years, The bona fides are unquestionable, and should the reef main tain its present richness, the mine will prove one of the most valuable properties in the Hauraki district. We understand that Mr Corbett has arranged with Mr Dobbie to test some of the Hikutaia stuff by means of his process.

The Warden's Decision on the Size of Licensed Holdings.

HIS OPINION OF THE FIND.

" Fabulously Wealthy."

Thames, this day.

In the Warden's Court to-day, the Warden publicly stated that he would posi tively refuse to grant licensed holdings of 30 acres in extent at Hikutai*>, and in no case would he give applicants more than five acres, because according k> the present regulations he could only order that one man should be employed to two acres. From tests made by Mr Mont gomery, the Bank of New Zealand and others it appeared that portions of the. reef exposed were fabulously wealthy, and he did not think any one should be allowed to hold large areas and only employ one man to two acres. He read telegram* sent to Govern ment by the chairman of the Auckland Brokers Association stating that miners hero were " chafing under delay" in the granting of leases by him and made severe comments thereon. Ho also read a telegram which bad been sent to the

Government asking that the Moanataiari ground should be protected which action 1 6 strongly condemned as no applications had ever been made to him by the manager for protection of the ground. The warden was very outspoken in his remarks.

OUR GOLDFIELDS

New Zealand National Prospecting Association.

The third party of prospectors sent out by this organisation will leave to-morrow (Friday), their destination being Waioino Creek. Mr T. Allen, secretary of the Prospecting Association, has received a letter from Mr Robert Kelly, the loader of a party which is at work m Tapu Creek, in which the writer expresses Ins conviction that the Prospecting Association is the right thing to develop the goldhelde. Kelly's party have driven 61 feet on tho reef in the tunnel, but have about other 60 feeb to go before they wiH get under the gold. The workings are very wet, and for the past fortnight tho drive has been going through hard country, but it is now improving. Mr Aitken, the Thames County Engineer, visited Tapu on Saturday last, .and expressed surprise at the amount of work done, as well as confidence in tho ultimate success of the operations. A dispute has arisen be tween Kelly's party and a Tapu farmer named Bennett as to the cutting of kauri timber, and the matter wag to be dealt with a t the Warden's Court at Thames to-day.

Tuamks, this day.

MoAKATAIABI'— Although about 90ft- have now been driven upon the Red Queen leader at No. 3 level of the Caledonian mine, the manager has been unsuccessful in unearthing payable quartz. For the past week or two the ground has been of a slidynature.andthe leader has been a mere clay seam, while oven this was invisible in places. The country is becoming more settled, and what " has every appearance of be ina, the leader" has once more been picked up. The quartz was broken down to-day, and" is of a rubbly nature, not unkindly for gold. Very en couraging prospects are being met with in the rise on the same leader, a short distance from the Caledonian boundary, and some nice dabs of gold have been observed. Cambria.—The body of quartz cut in sinking tho winze on No. 7 leader proves" to bo between 2 and 3ft thick, and carries a little favourable mineral, but up to tho present _no gold has been ?een. It is just possible that the No. 7 leador will not carry through this lode, in tho event of which sinking will be continued on the new comer. Tho No. 1 leader in the fourth stope over No. 3 level is looking vory well. Saxox. -— When breaking down the reef in the leading Plope over No. 3 level yesterday afternoon 15Ibs picked stone wore bagged, and also lOlbs from the tee! in tho fourth stope, hiUward of the rise at No. 4 level.
