FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance, for the wrong: that neede resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

AMONG the proposals agreed upon at the Conference of the committees of the Chamber of Commerce and the Brqkers' Association, that urging the tiovern-

ment to oiler a bonus for the introduc tion of a new gold-saving process is, we believe, deserving of special attention. No doubt the Test Plant at the Thames will greatly aid miners who are anxious to discover the best mode of treating ore from their mines ; but without further experiment it is already agreed that the rich lodes of the Upper Thames are now practically locked up, owing to the want of a process that will save the bulk of the gold at a low cost. The richness of the gold-boafing reefs has been positively demonstrated )>y assay ; yet, notwithstanding the ex tensive area opened up, the gold yields last year were the poorest since the field was proclaimed. Since operations were started at Ohinemuri, bullion to the value of £."50,000 has been extracted fromthe mines. This return was obtained chiefly from the Martha Extended Com pany's mine, whbh was the first located there, and is the only one upon which extensive mining operations have been carried out. That de velopments have progressed so much in that mine as compared with others is partly owing to the fact that there was a stretch of about 200 ft of backs available for tunnelling purposes, and partly because the bulk of the ore obtainable therefrom was " free milling," amenable to the battery process, and, although poor in quality, it was sufficiently remunerative to en able the management to employ a large stiff of hands continuously for the past seven years without making any calls on the capital of the Company. In this mine the reof is a strong, well defined body of stone, varying from 10 to 20ft in thickness, and running through a channel of country which is all that can be desired for the presence of the precious metals.

The Union, Eosemont and Silverton mines, however, have all been fairly tested, aud proved to contain well-de fined bodies of ore rich in both gold and silver—the latter predominating. The country embraced within their re spsctive boundaries is so exceptionally flat in contour as to necessitate shaft sinking for their thorough development. Capital.is not only.required for this work, but it is also needed for the erec tion of suitable machinery to treat the refractory ores characteristic of the reefs which have already been clearly de monstrated to exist in the several mines. The great problem that has to be solved to make these mines richly productive, and to change the stagnant condition of Ohinemuri into one of great pros perity, is the introduction of special processes, which will save the gold at a moderate cost. The owners of the mines are not in a position to engage ■> in costly experiments, nor could they .establish separate plants for the treat ment of their stuff, even if they were 'assured of the riglillinQde of treatment. }f the offer of a bonus did no more than tims. tne of'mining experts and thi!bl%hout the world to our it would accomplish a but it is more than probable that announcement of such a bonus would lead not only to the introduc tion of f new processes for treating re fractory , ores > k u k a ' so bring- out the capital**requisite to place plants on the ground*and to work a number.of the mineraP areas which are now locked up. '-~ ~_

THE SURVEY DEPARTMENT.

Sum r EYOR»npBNERAL McKERROW, ill his annual Veport on surveys of New Zealand, sajp that the total expenditure for the year lending June 30 last on the field and-office work is less by a-yearjpn the annual average of the previous nint?years. The decrease in expenditure is not due to any change

of system, but to the fact that the triaugulation and other standard works are now bo well advanced that operations in these classes of surveys h&ve been much curtailed of late. In the actual settlement survey, however, there has been no curtail ment, for both the areas and number of sections surveyed last year are con siderably in excess of the two preced ing years, and in future the main strength of the Survey staff can be devoted to this work. During the last two or three months the Depart ment has been retrenched to the extent of dispensing with the services of six surveyors with their parties and nine draughtsmen. The saving on annual expenditure will be aboufc The strength of the Department is now: Chief surveyors) 62 ; surveyors engaged on field work, 8; surveyors employed in offices, 60 ; draughtsmen, 11; clerks and computer, 19 j cadets, 1; photographer and 7 lithographic printers ; in addition to which there are S surveyors and 18 draughtsmen temporarily employed, The current charge, inclusive of wages of survey parties and all contingencies, is about ;£Bo,ooo a year, of which about £15,000 will be recovered for services performed, leaving £70,000 chargeable to the Crown Lands. The number of daughtsmen may appear out of propor tion to the number of surveyors, until it is remembered that there are 12 principal survey offices to man, besides 10 minor district offices, the closing of any one of which would cause very great public inconvenience to the locality affected.

FREEDOM'S BATTLE.

Very bitter indeed waxes the fight for Irish liberties, but the issue is as cer tain as is the ultimate triumph of right. Constitutional agitation for a legitimate end may be as often baffled as the bloody struggles against armed oppres sion in past ages were, yet it is sure to be successful. Unless death should end his labours, it is clear that the great Liberal leader of England will spare no effort, in or out of Parliament, to achieve a measure of sel£ : government for Ireland—such a measure as shall worthily crown Mr Gladstone's unpar alleled career, and be at the same time a full requital for the wrongs which have been suffered by the Emerald Isle. The Liberal Conference now sitting at Nottingham has been organised for the purpose of consolidating the party of progress, and attaining absolute solid arity on the subject of Ireland. Mr Gladstone's speeches to this Confer ence, judging by the howl of opposition which they have evoked, appear to have been masterpieces of logic, invec tive, and appeal. He warned the Go vernment that a continuance of their present rash policy in Ireland would render government in that country im possible, and declared that Kadical changes were required which only an enfranchised nation could accomplish. This is an appeal to English lovers of liberty and fair play which will certainly result in great accessions to the Liberal strength

at any by-elections, arid will make Gladstone sure of a return to power at an early date. Mr Goschen, who has taken the task of replying to Mr Glad stone, has jauntily assured the English public that the Government were not discouraged by the difficulties which they had encountered in their attempts at coercion. This may be accepted as an intimation that " the stupid party intend to pursue their fatuous policy in Ireland, and by their straining of the Constitution goad the people to acts of violence which shall supply a pretext for more stringent; repressive measures. So be it. The Tories, with their tradi tions and prejudices, could scarcely be expected to do otherwise. But the Liberal-Unionists cannot consistently follow the Tory party in their high handed proceedings, and assuredly a modus vivendi will be arranged between them and the great body of the Liberals who follow Mr Gladstone. It is a hopeful sign to find Mr Chamber lain visiting Ireland, for he is almost certain to be converted to Home Rule before he leaves, and if he is not, his forthcoming visit to the United States will do the work. He has long been favourable to granting a large measure of self-government to Ireland, and as Mr Gladstone's proposals do not imply complete legislative inde pendence, it should be an easy matter to adjust the differences which separate the rival leaders, if personal aims are made subsidiary to national interests and advanced principles. The Tories have to choose between two courses — either to allow their administration of the law to be held in contempt, or to drive the Liberal-Unionists into Glad stone's arms by blindly pursuing a coercive policy. Indications go to show that the latter course will be pursued, in which case Ireland's libera tion will prove to be very near at hand.

The disastrous shipwreck on the Vie-! torian coast, reported by cable to have taken place on Wednesday evening, ap pears to have resisted from a furious gale that was then raging having disabled the vessel by depriving- her of her propeller. The Union S.S. Company's steamer Waira rapa left Melbourne for the Bluff the same evening as the ill-fated Cheviot, Bishop Moran being among her passengers ; but the weather was so bad that the captain deemed it advisable to anchor at the Heads all night—the voyage only being resumed on the weather moderating. Doubtless the weather was not so wild when the Cheviot left, earlier in the evening. It is stated that about forty lives have been lost by this disaster.

The mortal remains of Mrs Lachlan Me- Gowan were privately interred yesterday in the Anglican portion of the Waikomifci Cemetery, in presence of the bereaved hus band and immediate friends of the de ceased, several ladies being amongst the mourners. The Rev. W. Tebbs conducted the burial service, and the coffin was covered with floral wreaths-and crosses, the offerings of lady friends.
