OUR GOLDFIELDS.

(BY TELEOItAPII—OWN CORRESPONDENT )

Waitekauri, Monday. Mattnqakaiu.—Binoo taking I his mino on tribine, Snelgan and party have dono a eon sidurable amount of dead work, aud now the) are breaking out crushing dirt from a large conglomerate mass of sandstone and quartz stringers, and from which fair mortar prospects of the precious metal are obtainable, The tributers have also got the nine stumper battery belonging to this mino, but owing to the sh"rt water supply they have not been able Iv do uny ctush iug for some time past, and nothing short of a continual and heavy downpour of rain will enable them to resume crushing operations.

Welcome.—Although this is ene of the oldest mines in the district, there is still a largo area of unworked ground within its boundaries. Of late, Birney and party, the pro.-ent occupiers, have devoted their energies to opening up a now block on a reef about two feet in thickness, and some of the stone broken out shows strong colours of the precious metal One of the features po culiar to the reefs in this section of the field is thnt the miners n, ver base their opinions as to the value of the stone on tho amount of gold visible therein, but thoy invariably yubjoct it to the mj.tar process, pan oil'the crushed oro in a prospecting dish, and determine its battery value by the chow of freo gold winch remains in tho dish, associated with iton pjrites or other heavy base mineral-. Ir is astonish ing how very accurately an experienced prospector can arrive >'t the battery value of quartz reefs by means of ihe above vory primi ivo appliances.

_ov_r_ign.— _ hia mino waa taken up some time since by Pocock and party, who are prospecting a well defined body ot stone, which waa optned up and diivtn upon for a geod distance some years ngo* by the original nhorebolders. They have also i-.aibd to drive a new level ior the purpose of in ersectiug tho main reef at a consider able depth beneath tho m face, and they urn putty confident of meeting with a good "slnut"of the precious metal at the fiist point of contact.

Waitricauri —Tho lato spell of dry neither had put llollis and party, tributora, to a considerable amount of inconvenience in tho nia'tcr of finding storage room for the largo tonnage of quattz which thoy havn biokon out, and ready fur treatment. At present, tho wator supply for battery pttrpo.-es is not equal to driving five head of stampers, and as this ia but a repetition of what occurred last year, the battery pro prietors may well ask themselves whether it would not be as well to add auxiliaty steam powor, so as to enable crushiug to bo carried on during the dry seasons. Waitekauri Extended. —Operations in this mine are now being carried on by Wall c and party, who are breaking oul v crushing from tho section known as " Butler's." If this stuff should prove payable, thetributers will open up a "big " block of ground which has never yet been touched, and it may be the means of opening up a new era ef pros perity for -the mino,

Diamond Gully.—For indomitable pluck and perseverance commend me to Roter Puidenco, who has spent eevou years pros pecting a largo reel in the above-moiitionod locality, During that period, Prudence, who is a coloured man, has, single-handed, dtiveu fully 1,000 feet, mostly through, hard shooting country. Besides, he has done a large amount of sinking as well as simple trenching, and so far ho has not succeedod in unearthing anything of value; but, nothing daunted, he is working; away in tbe full belief that his efforts will yet bo crowned with success.

Mr Bealo, Secretary of the Auckland Cricket Association, has received a letter from the Wellington Cricket Asaooin nou, stuting that in all probability a team from that city will be able to play the Auokland Eleven during Easter, as c spier will be receiving a visit from the Wellington team about that time.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNCIL.

The nvuitl.lv mneting nf this body ton!

place at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, thero being present: Sir (i. M, O'Rorko (i_haiiman), Col. Haultain, Sir Frederick \Vhitaker, Rev. Alex. R_d, and Messrs 3. Luke, A. Devore (Major), Edwin Hesketh, and Bishop Cowie. Proposed Medical School.

OPPOSITION FROM DUNEDIN.

The Chairman said he regretted having to state tha* ho had failed in his endeavour to obtain from tho New Zealand University Senate (1), rc-ccgnition for tha medi cal school which the College Counc 1 pro posed, and (2) recognition forthe lectures of the Professors of hialural Scieuce f'tid Anatomy. Both requests tlio Senate de clined. Ho foaied that it was a foregone conclusion to refiuo recognition to the Medical School which I ho Council had pro posed to establish here as an elementary school. Tho I'iouiier held very strongly to the view that, thero should not exist more than one medical school in N-w Zealand, and although he (tho speaker) endeavoured to convince him that thu proposed schorl would act as a feeder to the. ;. une-dtn Medioal School, anil not as a rival to it, still, the four Dunedin professors and the Premier voted unitedly against thu proposal. The arguments' used by the-aa ap peared to him very flimsy. It was said, for instance, that medical education could not bo given partly in ono school and partly in another, although he believed the thing was allowod and extensively practised at Homo. If they wete restrained from carrying out thoir intention until they could start a fully equipped school, ho did not believe they would be able- to give t licet to it tlits century. However, tho Senate feared that the Now Zealand University would lose pre— tige if it recognised thu Medical School this Council proposed to establish. Tho opposition mot with in Auckland to thu scheme made thoelf.rt to obtain recti. nition doubly hard, more especially as they had no dissecting roum. Unless, therefore, letters were received assuring them oi recognition from tho Universities of Glasgow and ifdinburgh, he «aw no course open but to abandon the proposed medical school. This woidd be all the more regrettable Eu thrje'or foul students Had been prepiirivito atart tho medical course with them in April. Tho Council- duty would, therefore, bo to signify to them that they wouldltuYO to goto Melbourne, Sydney, vi Dunedin, or somo other largo town, to nbt'iin the instruction which the -unkland College was debarred from _iviiig. It was very much In bo regi-Uod that thoy -.'tould bo unable to proceed with tho cst'iblVh'-eiit, of an elementary medic it school hore, seeing that, they had on thoir .-tall Professors i,f Chemistry and Biology, and tha} ihoy only needed thu nervines oj a professor or lecturer on anatomy. They would pro bably have to wait a good many jears be fore they coul.i establish a school under such favourable circumstances as they could thi year, with agentlemin of the standing of Dr. McKellar aslecturer on c,n;,to.iiy. it would be his duty bcfo.e the end ot the month to call the Council together again to decide definitely what. shou:d be done. At present he saw, no hope of doing otherw'.t; tlian clo=e the school,

I Bishop fowlo salt) he had nothing to add to what the Chairman had sail, beyond stating that thero appealed to be two points upon which the Senate wis deter mined to insist bCiO''o re-:. fo 'nit9ing any fit'-t ye-ar's rpedjeal teaching in Auckland. The tirst was- that they should have a disseotiug room, and t ho second was thatihey should bp ah!o to engage tho whole ef t\ho;r leetur.rs time. They mid it was the invariable rule at Home an 1 in Dunedin that tie lecturer on anatomy shoul'j have no private medical practice. S", unless t-ese eondi tions were complied with, thero was no hope of getting the necessary authority for start ing tho school. Sir F. Whitaker ; That means another proi.-aor at a salary of JL'fOO or £SOO a-year. The Chairman : .fust so ; and if he should have only una ur two pupils he is to bs de barred all tho Bime from private practice Sir P. Whitaker: That is impracticable, of course. In answer to a question by Sir 7 Whitaker, tho Chairmart that if thry obtained recognition from the Universities of filaggow or Edinburgh, thoy! might proceed with the fi-et year's insttuc'i'n, providing the parente of pupils wore willing to bear the expense of completing the course clsewhero. Ho bolioved, but could not be sure, th.at whan llr, Coughtrey was en-syed as lecturer on ir, liuneuiri no was allowed private practice Letters wero then read (1) from tho Auckland Hospital Board. (2) from the Glasgow University ten-te', acknowledging receipt" of loiters from t he College Council n tho medical school The matter was then left abeyance, pending receipt ;,f conclusive replies from the I'ni vorsitia? of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Other Business, A number of othor matter.- of detail were de;dr. with. It wa< resolved to fence in tlio property.

Considera tion of this matter waa deferred until next meeting.

BPHOUI, Meeting —The Mayor notified the Councillors that a special meet ing of tbe Council would bo hold next Monday evening,

THE DEVONPORT WELL.

This matter came up for discussion last night at the meeting of the Borough Council. The report of the Waterworks Comr-ittso waa read and adopted, after which the following report, forwarded by the Borough Engineer, Mr Knox, 'was read:-" In conformity with the instruction of the Council.the well has been BUDk to the authorised depth of 24 feet, and a trial of its water volume at that depth has been made by continuous pumping fora pei lod of 4S hours. Too results are shown by appended statement of register taken daily. Tho pumping was effected by a6 inch centrifugal purap.equaltoSO, jUOgalloDß per hour, driven by steam powe.', and tho output WSB registered by three now standard, inelera -viz ,4, 3, and 2. The record and test I consider reliable and conclusive, cor rohnratinir my pre/ioii3 calculations and report. The tntal output of water during (he 4G_houmo actual pumping was 199,700 gallons ThepumptQO-outallthatwastiior_ to betaken Tt v. ,11 be observed that during the first ii- hours of pumpiog the weHgavs an average output of 6.590 gallons, per hour ; that during tho next twelve hourss-i)T gave en average ot 4.54S gallons per hourf§ and that during the five periods of six hours each the average output was 3,698 gallons per hour, thus lecoreiing a marked falling off in the strength of tho spring. Tho bottom of tha well is 1 11$ above low water mark, oidinaty spring tides. It will bo observed that the quantity of water in the well is .iffected by the stato of the tide. I make no remarks as to the quality of tha water at any period of the operation, aa I understood the Council have submitted a sample to Mr Fond lor analysis and report. Leaving out tho consideration of tha qm'ity of tlie water, I consider the amount utterly inadcq .ate for the present require ment of the borough, and the source alto gether objectionable and unreliable."

Analysis of tite Watkk.—A lengthy ana'y-is submitted by Mr Pond was read, [t itated that tinee samplos of water had bee-treated, with the usuit that chloride of sodium end chlorido o.f potassium (com-. mnn salt) was fr.mid as follows :-Mo 1 10T'24; No ?. 39-4* i; No. 3, 22-96. Mr Pond also appended the following footnote:— " Tnese results show the water to be unfitted for domestic supply. The hardness is great, and but little aflVcted by boiling, owing to the presence of a large percentage "of chloride of magnesium. There can be "no question of a considerable infiltration of aea water, paiticularly at high tide after pump ing At tho same time, thete must be a large amount of water escaping gradually from the h'.gi land to tlie sea shore.— 4.1 a Mayor-ud that fhera could be little d.mbt now but hat the well was'a failure and that they usust go t 0 Lane Takapuna' lie thought tbar n.w they should s ive their c ngme. r v ohar.ce-. Hitherto, thoy had no* consulted him. and i was only l u ir to state tnaiho hail always bern opposed to the well scheme and m favour of the Lake. He then proposed that the engineer be instructed to prepare pi n-, cte , lor an efficient water supply to be obtained from Lake Takapuna, at a cost not exceeding £10,C00. The report to ta submitted io the Waterworks and finance Committee for their consideration, ihi? was se-em-ed by (V Burgess. Cr brown obj. cid to rushing to tha other exh_>e i„ this matter. He th. ttgnt that the Council s-hculd devote one oveninit ti thoroughly go into the matter After some unher discussion, the mo-ion was adopted-Tho Engineer sub mitted accounts to tho extent ot _721956 d, total Cfistut tba w, li experiment*. Those we*, uiv.horis.d 'or payment after being passed by the M-yr-r anu .vrtihed by the anemeer - The M.ynr stated that, in ao co,dance win, tho .e-olution «f the Board, he had mstii.cnd M, tmw to purchase a WW Mr. st Luke Taknptma t„r use of waterworks supply purposes, at a cost of £163.-This f,c'ion was approved.- The Mayor fuithtai stated that an influen tially signed poliiion had been presented to him requesting that a public meeting should be cahed to consider the water supply quest tion, out as it would be absolutely necessary to call meetings later on, as required by the Act, ho should hold it r.ver lor the present. —Or Anson thought that such an impor tant pe-tit.inn ehmild be differently treated. —The Mayor stated that he was prepared totiiko the responsibility upon himself, as the meeting at, present cou'd have no good results.-.The Council then proceeded to consider othor business.
