OUR GOLDFIELDS

OniNEMUKI

[mil OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Paeroa, Saturday. Ins week there has been quite an exodus of miners for " Maritoto," which is the native name of the place where Mcßrinivs discovery is located, and amongst them are several of the best prospectors on the Temnsmla—men who have been educated by an extensive local experience, and who can the presence of both gold imjajrer in quartz when neither of those metals'.axe. obtainable by the dish or mortar processes of testing metali feroos bodies. This means that Maritoto " fill get athorough prospecting by men who lave a practical knowledge of the work, wd if there are any reefs rich in either gold or silver outcropping in that locality, we will hear from the men in ques tion very shortly. When visiting the Prospectors' mine a few days since, I learned that the owners had marked off a water race and battery site, and I lave both heard and read statements to the effect that it -was intended to treat their ituffby the battery process. Ido not know Vnetherthis statement is true or not, but I do know that there is no battery process on this peninsula that will save five percent, of the bullion contained therein, and I do tot make this assertion as an ordinary newspaper correspondent but as a practical manwhoknpws what he is writing about,and who is desirous of making anew departure in the matter of dealing with our gold and silver bearing ores. So far as the Prospec tors lode has been developed, the test made have shown that silver prepon derates to an extraordinary extent, m in all probability it will be found •W occur in four different forms, viz., Wajhc, chloride, antimonide, and Wtode., Some of the picked pieces of Jw; winch I myself brought away from pc Imd when subjected to the assay ■process yielded at the rate of 120oz of gold ;«M4ewtof silver to the ton.

AUCKLAND DAIRY PRODUCE.

Plain Talk to the Farmers

In a recent issue of the Waikato " Times " the editor utters the following home truths to the local farmers :—" It is mani fest that we have arrived at something almost amounting to a crisis in the dairy ing industry, and it is necessary that the dairy companies and dairymen generally should take counsel to avert a complete breakdown. When dairy factories were first established in this district, it was confidently anticipated that the companies would be able to pay fourpence per gallon for milk ; but so great has been the fall in the price of cheese, that the manufacture has not yielded 3d per gallon during the past season. 'Nor is there any present prospect oi an advance. Any quantity of really good cheese can be purchased in Auckland at M to4d perlb, and in fact, enormous quantities from private) dairies have been sold at even less rates. In England best American cheese is quoted at 40s to 50s per cwt, which, after deducting freight and charges, leaves only Auckland prices. In Australia the market is completely glutted with dairy produce, and owing to frequent rains most of the Australian colonies will, for at any rate a year or two, be actually ex porting cheese and butter. Lastly we hear from South America that the market there for our cheese is exceedingly limited, the small Dutch cheeses being more suited for the climate and trade. It is true that some of our factories who made contracts at the beginning of last season secured fair prices, but these contracts will not be renewed, and unless we can make a new departure, our cheese will not realise more than 3d to 4d per lb even if it is sale able at all.

It is manifest that our population cannot consume one quarter of the cheese and butter our farms are capable of producing, and the only way to avert a hopeless glut is to export the balance to manufacturing centres. The burden of every letter from London with reference to dairy produce may be summed up in those words: — " Second-class, unsaleable ; first-class, not half enough." The question therefore narrows itself to this:—" We must produce the very best butter, and the very be*t cheese or none at all.'*

BRUTAL EXHIBITION AT DUNEDIN.

An Auckland Pugilist's Victory.

According to the account in the " Otago Daily Times," the Murphy-Faddes fight was not an elevating spectacle. In the beginning of the second round Murphy countered a blow, and got one in sending Facldes to the ground. Faddes no sooner rose than Murphy again felled him with another terrific blow. From this out (says the " Times") Murphy, who was evidently nervouslyeagerto finish his man out of hand, would hardly stay in his corner until the requisite lOsec. had expired. The referee had again and again to shout to him to go back, and the instant time was called Murphy darted from his corner like a cat upon a mouse, and sent his man to earth again with terrible force. After the second knock-down blow, Faddes was never suffi ciently recovered to even put his hands up, but he dragged himself up painfully by the ropes and received his punishment helplessly. Six times in succession he was felled in this way amid the yells and groans of the audience, who, although Murphy was fighting in accordance with the Queensbury rules, were furious at what was a really sickening and pitiable spectacle. In the end Faddes, who was sitting on the lower rope quivering like an aspen, was unable to get upon his feet again within the stipulated time, and the fighb thus finished in two rounds, in one of which the winner had not struck a blow, j
