The Evening Star: WITH WHICH ARE INCORPORATED The Evening News, Morning News, and Echo.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1887.

Tor the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

We are glad that the attention of our members, on the eve of their de. parture for Wellington, has been drawn to the importance of encouraging the gold-mining industry. Nothing would so quickly set the wheel of prosperity humming as an increase in the output of gold. Because a large population has been settled for a long time on the Hauraki goldfields, and prospectors have wandered over a large part of the dis trict, some people jump to the conclu sion that the held is "played out." Such an impression betokens a practi cal unacquaintance with the peculiarly uncertain nature of gold-mining enter prise. In the comparatively limited operations on the Thames and Coromandel goldfields <we have numerous examples of rich deposits which have eluded one well-conceived mining operation after another, at last yielding a rich harvest to some more lucky" enterprise. Look at the Kapanga, the first gold mine that was systematically worked in the Auck-, land Province. After passing through a series of disappointing experiences it has in new hands already given en couragement enough to confirm the pro prietors in the belief that they have acquired a very valuable gold-produc ing mine. The finds in the Cambria and other Thames mines, in the very heart of a country which is bored and tunnelled in every direction, show how easy it is to miss the gold, and what splendid results follow a really lucky strike. The work done on the Auck land goldfields is just about enough to prove what a widely-distributed auri ferous territory we possess, and to assure the present generation that the work of centuries will not exhaust the treasures of those golden lulls. If the prospector of to-day, wander ing over the rough, forest-clad hills, could for a moment be gifted with the power of seeing into futurity, he would, we believe, see great smoke stacks rising in spots where he sat i down to smoke his pipe and curse his luck, and would hear the whirr of machinery in gullies where the tui now pipes his note in solitude. The past discoveries are the best reasons for our fa.-th in the future, and in no country of tbe whole world is mining carried on u*ndt_r pleasanter surroundings or with JVBtfear facilities for turning any discoveries to good account. We ai'.e rather sorry that the resolu tion adopted by the Brokers' Associa tion and. submitted to our mem bers of Paj-lia-Mflent yesterday, placed so much weight upon that Big Pump, which has been the* white elephant of Thames mining, and gave^so little at tention to the question of introducing new processes for treating refractory ores. That tho Big Pump should be kept going, we agree, and that there is good encouragement for testing the levels below C4O feet is also not a mere matter of opinion, the Queen of Beauty having obtained rich gold at 700 feet, with a probability that the reefs dipped deeper towards the minims drained by the Big Pump. At thesame time weshould like to see some guarantee that if the pumping shaft is put down another two or three hun dred feet, the Companies interested wil be prepared to carry on prospecting in every direction, and not allow the costly work done by the pump go to waste, as happened in the case of some mines before. The probable introduc tion of English capital certainly puts matters in a different position from what they were before, and it would be nothing less than a calamity if the N pump should stop at the very moment when there is a chance of getting these low levels thoroughly prospected. No doubt this consideration weighed very strongly with the Association in framing their resolutions. If the Go vernment aid were successful in making the monster something less |of an ogre than it has been in [the past, the money would be well spent. The present proposal has, more over, such a clearly^defined object, and, considering its importance to the field, is not a very extrava gant amount, so that the Auckland members may be able to induce Minis ters to IcJok upon it favourably. _\he pjfoposai for a p&pk - horse track right along the main range through the Coromandel Peninsula and southwards is a good one. It was objected yestVday that miners do not care for tracks'. To a limited degree tabus is perhaps true, but the roughness; of this country in many parts renders it absolutely inaccessible. ' After a good many ;£4,50Q votes have been spent, the miner will still have plenty of untrodden ground on the Coromandel Peninsula whereon to humour his penchant for strik ing out tracks of his own, a_4 the opening up of the main range by one track, -along which he can carry his supplies and camp equipments, would

hasten by years the discovery and opening up of districts which are now sealed up. If the miners' zeal were stimulated by offers of reward, the search would be hastened, and some resolution of this kind might have been added with advantage to the series formulated by the Association.

PEACE PROSPECTS.

'The rulers of European States con tinue, through their mouthpieces, to cry *' Peace, Peace," when there is no peace. The latest utterance of this kind is contained in the Speech from the Throne on the occasion of the opening of the Hungarian Parliament. This sounds like a re-echo of what Kaiser Wilhelm and Prince Bismarck have been saying for months back— there is every prospact of the peace of Europe being maintained; but si vis pace, para helium / All is peace in Hungary and on the frontier, but there is need to strengthen the defensive forces of the Empire ! That is all; but that little proviso about in creasing the armaments of the country completely demolishes the delusion that peace is likely to continue. In reality there is not peace at the present time in Europe, and least of all in Austro-Hungary. The Continent is a vast armed camp, where the sounds of warlike preparations and bellicose breathings resound continually, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is, next to the Turkish, that which will feel most heavily the brunt of the battle which is impending. The richer coun tries, such as France and Germany, are already finding the strain of military expenditure and diplomatic tension almost unbearable ; yet with them, as with Austro-Hungary, the increase of armaments goes on at such a pace as to make profound peace assured for a millennium, if there is any truth in the " saw" derived from the martial Romans of old. The recent military manoeuvres on the Transylvanian frontier of Austro-Hungary were a confession that in that direction lay the impending danger to the integrity of that Empire. Germany almost in vites Russia to attack Bulgaria, well knowing that such an act would involve Austria in war, and probably lead to a disruption of the dual empire. The Panslavist party, which is now uppermost in Russia, would like to see Austria removed, as she blocks the way to Russian domination in the Balkans; and on the other hand Prince Bismarck would rejoice if Austro-Hun gary were so humbled that the German speaking section of that Empire might be brought to join the Germanic Con federation. Well, therefore, may the Hapsburg dynasty pray for peace, and with regard to the utterance from the throne, delivered at the opening of the Hungarian Parliament, it may be said that "the wish is father to the thought." Certainly the aspect of affairs in Europe—from the Danube in the East to the Rhine on the West— does not justify hopes of permanent peace; if punning might be allowed on such a serious subject, we should say the anticipations are more sanguinary than sanguine.

At a sitting in Chambers yesterday after noon Mr Justice Ward granted probate, on the motion of Mr Brock, in the will of Henry Shilleto. In the matter of French v. Keddell,Mr Burton moved for directions for Bervice of charging order nisi. His Honor ruled that service be effected on the Pay master-General.

The late Maori perjury case will cost the country a large sum. In the last sessions witnesses'expenses alone amounted to nearly £300. Then there are the costs of the Crown Prosecutor, also 10s per head per day, hotel tariff for 12 jurors for about 17 days, and costs for 'buses for driving out the jurors and allowance to the jurymen themselves. Taking all contingent expenses, the total cost of the case must reach pretty well towards £700. If we add to this the cost of hearing the charge preferred againsfc Charles Henry Wight at the pre vious sessions and costs in the Lower Courts, this wretched case must have cost the Government fully £1,000. Ih addition to this, there are the costs paid by the de fendants in each case, which must also amount to a considerable sum, seeing that Mr Cotter was engaged for the defence of Charles Wight and Messrs O'Meagher and Dufaur for the defence of the natives.

The Police Court was occupied up to a late hour yesterday afternoon in hearing a charge of obtaining goods by means of valueless cheques against George Mason. The Bench decided thafc there was nofc sufficient evidence to prove fraudulent intent, and discharged fche prisoner.

Further inquiries which have been made in the "bullet-swallowing" case related in a recent issue go to show that there were no suspicious circumstances attached to the event. It appears that the accident took place atPapakura,and not at Brighton Road, and that the shot was fired by Mrs Wight's son George, a lad of 17. He was shooting a bullock,and the ball went through tbe liouse window, striking his mother as related in a previous notice of the occurrence. Mrs Wight is progressing favourably towards re covery, but' is still somewhat inconveni enced by the wound close to her mouth. To illustrate the advantages of the com pulsory vaccination system, statistics show that from 1847 to 1853, before it became compulsory, the death-rate from small-pox was 1,617 per million of population; but from 1854 to 1871, after ifc became compul sory, the rate decreased to 817 per million, whilo the year afterwards(lß72)it came down to 323 per million • and the figures father prove that from 1853 to 1880, a period oi £1 years, no fewer than 22,000 children have been saved by vaccination.—" Home INews, July 29th. A gentleman's yacht, lying in the harbour ofi Ponsonby, was broken into the other day and a few things taken out. lhe perpetrators of the "joke " are well-known, and they may find themselves suddenly placed in a most.undesirable position, as it is scarcely in human nature to stand insult added to injury, such as is inflicted when youths commit petty theft and then go round glorying in their exploit. Mr Popley announces a special service of sacred music to be given at his chambers to-morrow (Sunday) evening, in addition to the usual afternoon gathering, and as is does not commence till eight o clock, an opportunity is given for those attending the different places of worship to be present.
