Rotoma hana had to anchor for a couple of hours. Seven million larks are annually eaten in France ; one third of the poor littlo song sters being consumed in Paris alone. How rapidly the sea level alters in New Zealand is shown by tbo fact that within living memory the largest man-o'-wor could have floated where the town of Hastings now stands. Wm.

Trustees in Wellington, the Chairman was mystified by the statement that a woman who had applied for relief gave the ages sf her children as 18 months and 12 months. The Relieving Officer was instructed to elucidate the natuial phenomenon.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

OuitOhinemuiri correspondent observes that it has often struck him as being very strange that no effort whatever has yet been made by thoae interested in tbe mines in that district to divert some of the English cap-

ital which is now flowing in so freely to other mining centres io various parts of thia and tbe neighbouring colonies. There are quite a number of mines at the Upper Thames upon which sufficient work has al ready beendone toprovethattbey ore worthy of further development, and in his opinion money judiciously expended is tho only thing required to bring them to the front aa bullion producer?. Capital is not only needed for the opening up of there mines, but it is also required for the establishment of machinery suitable for the reduction of tbe rich but rebellious ores that are con tained therein. For several months past quite a number of the principal mines here havo been idle, or comparatively so, and up to tho present there ia no sign of a resumption of active operations other than that of

letting sections iv some of them to tributera. This etate of affairs may be attributed to tbe fact that the ohareholders have already expended considerable .urns of money in opening up their respective properties, as well as experimenting with smelting aud other processes, and as the majority of thorn aro comparatively poor men, theft are un able to contribute any longer; therefore, the mines lie idle au_ unproductive. The remedy for this undesirable - state of affairs is, to a large extent, in tbe bands of the shareholders, who should wake up and make an attempt, even sup posing they do fail, to introduce capital for:.. the thorough development of their mines. There are two distinct lines of main reefs running almost parallel throughout tho whole length of the claims which are marked off upon their course, and these are- accom panied by companion lodes varying from six inches to as many feet in thickness. ' and all, or nearly all of them, have been tested and found to contain tho precious metal in remunerative quantities. By amalgamating a number of- the claims . referred to, at least two large companies could be formed—one unon each of the lines indicated—with sufficient capital to ; enable the management to go in. for a thorough and systematic, development in stead of tbe scratcbing-i urface bu-ineas 1 that is in operation at present, and tho results would, we feel confident, be satis factory to aU concerned. The rich results obtained from the Adeline crushing piovea 'he great value of the auriferous deposits in this district.
