Proposed Fruit-Growing and Ex porting Company.

Thkiie ia a very good prospect of nn estib ii-Jimer«t being started in VVhangarai to handle tho fruit crop of tho district. It is proposed to form a company with £20,000 capital, with tho object of Dot only going into fruit cnlturo on an exten eivo cc,do, but also to handle the fruit crop of the district in tho wny that the " packers " of California do : that is to say, the company would buy right out or pack on commission the whole of the fruit grown by any orchardiat, the fruit being packed in specially mado factory case*, acd it would be put upon the rnarkot as the Company's produce. Tho ''Northorn Advocate" Bays: — Tho Company would opon uo markets in all the bouthorn toivna by having agenta and correspondents, and by this moans a much hurher price coula be obtainod

tor fruit. Tho Company would aim to mako a name for itself, and con sequently only the very best fruit Mould bo packed, The second-cln^s fruit would bo [iretervod, and for that purpose tho company would erect a drying or evaporat- | ing plant capable of dealing with a largo bulk. Tnis would enable tho com- ' pany to deal with all surplus fruits that could not bo put upon tho market in its fash stato, and growers could also havo thoir fruit evaporatod hero eithor on shares or for a money consideration, Iho cinning and bottling of fruit would also ba undertaken by the company later on, j but jam it is not proposed that tho com pany should manufacture, einco tho profit ] derivable from it is inlinitesiujally email, j Alroudy some 1,500 ehures have been sub- j scribed for in this district in tho company, ' and as it i 3 only proposed to i^euo 5,000 at present, tho balance it is expected will bo Ibated in Auckland. The company havo j in view iha purchase of tho Cairnlield Estate which is considered admirably suited ' to tho purposes of tho company. j

Kak.vsc.uiake, this day

Destructive Bush Fires.

A perioud bush lire wai raging here all : day Sunday, and at ono time it was feared that a large amount of damage would result to mining propoity. Tbo emithios belonging to tho down mino^ were very quickly reduced to ashes. Considerable difficulty was experienced in saving tho Huming on Kailey's water race. In fact, had it not been for tho precaution taktn by that gentleman in clearing off all inllam- | mable matter around this plant eomo time since, tho whole concern would havo been , consumed on Sunday. | Yesterday morning a firo started on the , woat sido of the Paeroj Puke Road, and about midday it was raging furiously in the paddocks of Mesers Wick and Williams. Towards night, fanned by a breeze from tho north east, it spread out, and bounding with considerable rapidity towards tho Ohinemuri and Waihou rivers, destroyed i tho small grass paddocki belonging to Messrs Williams and Wick. A largo amount of fencing h&i also been destroyed, chiefly tho property of Mr Robson, and the damage ia estimated at fully £300. The Tramway. Considerable indignation is felt hsre ancnt tho action of tho local body in delay ing the work of constructing tbo tramway to°counect Railey's plant with the county track. In a great measure the future of the \i hole district depends upon a cheap method of transporting quartz from the mines to tho mill, and it was very shortsighted policy on behalf of tho Council not to push on with the work at all hazards. The very existence of the county depends upon the revenue derivable frcm tho goldfields. Tho ordinary rates only amouct to about £250 per annum, and therefore tho Council should do its best to fos-tor and nid the devolop ment of the mining industry by every possi ble legitimate moans.

Second Edition. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT DRURY.

Godwin's Hotel Burned Down.

(BY TELECKAI'H - OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dhuky, this day. A fire broke out at God kin's Farmers' Hotel at 12.30 p.m. today, and by 1 o'clock tho building, which comprised 21 rooms, was totally destroyed. Very little of the fur nUure and stock was saved. The liro appeared to originate in the roof, probably from a Bpark from the chimney. Tho building was insured in tho Royal and Union oilicee, but tho amount is not known hero. A strong easterly breeze made the fire burn furiously. Blako's blacksmiths shop and tho Presbyterian Church were in imminent danger, and were only saved by the well-directed efforts of the assembled neighbours. We learn on inquiry in town that the building was insured for £500 in the Union OHice, X2isO of this amount being reinsured in tho Norwich Union Ollico. Tha Royal has £500 on tho building and contents, part of this sum being re-insured.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM.

Lighted Canaio Vlaccd Undor a House

at Parncll,

An attempt of a moat glaring nnture was made early this morning to burn down a house in Cracroft-Ptrcot, Put noil, bolong ing (o tho Grammar School Board. Tho col logo in quoetion ia occupied by William Uogau and his family, aud it is stated that duriug tho night Mrs Uogan was awakened by tho striking of a match. Slio nroueed her husband, who went outsido and ob;orvod a light through tho flooriiiK of tho verandah. Ho went underneath tho house and found a pioco of lighted candle, un inch and a half in length, on the wall plato of the houfo botwoen tho j»it-ti of tho ilopnng of tho houso and tho verandah. Tho timber had taken fire, but a bucket of water removed all danger. An attempt was made to burn down Mr Hodgson's house, which is tho next but ono to Ilojjnn'a on the 7th in=t. Tho matter will bo placed in tho hauds of tho police.

ON THE GUMFIELDS.

A Hint to tho Unemployed.

A ooukh^fondent writes from I'apakuru as follows:—"Porhapa a brief ilCECriptioa of llio Rumliold hero may prove of interest at tho proeont tirao. Upon 11.0 Hit hero thoro are now no less (linn four hundred men (pikoh.i and Mnoii) at work searching for gum. Tlicro aro at lenft an equal number of women, for ovory digger his hia wifo, and souuo aro not Fiitielied— (why eIiouKJ tlioy be, in this freo country ?) - with tho einprutar number. Among tlio fomalo population 1 liati .pointed out to mo two ' ladioe ' who occupied a prominent position in a recent sensational trial in Auckland; thty tiro 'rusticating' hore un'il titnea get britker in tho city. There aro two large encampments, and about a score of smaller once, on tbo flat, and tho sceno presented by these is, ts say the loaat of it, lively in tho extreme. Matters have become so lively, indeed, that I believe Constable* Mc- Knigbt, who u?cd to have solo and sumccuo sway in this peaceful hamlot, has had to apply for reinforcements. When it ia con sidered that tbia has been a working gum- Hold for upwards of 20 yeara, and tho total extent of it is under 5,000 acres, tho quantity of gum it Etitl yiolds ia surprising. During tho last two months tho output his been about 'JO tons a wcok, at an averago price of from £10 to £1,-> per ton This represent* a largo sum of monoy. This (Mordiy) morning noless than ISO bags of gum, containing oOcwt each, wore delivered at tho railway station as the first instalment for this week. Most of tho gum ifl now obtsinod by deep digging under tbo gigantic kauri trees — many 15 ket in diumetor — buried in tho Popakura Fiat. Some very beautiful gum ia found at times ; a spletliid tpeciraen weighing SOlbs was shown to mo a ehort timo a^o Ono farmer, Mr Walter^ is supplying tho camp with milk of 22 cows daily, and that is in?ut!icient. Tho only charge mode for digging gum hero'i^ Is p«r week from each peison actually digging, which ia very reasonable, although 400 shillings por wock come to quito a reppectablo income." Another correspondent supplies tho fol lowing en tho eamo field : -" Quifo an un usual but very intereEcing episode bapponcd on Sunday afternoon last amonK tho gum diggers out at Fapakura Flat. Mr H, Exley, evangelist, with a tew friends, went and held a preaching service, at wbish a very encouraging number of 'diggers' wtro present. The address, which was listened to apparently with intenso intere3t, was on, 'What Think You of the Christ. Mrs Bodle sang one of the solos j from Sankey's hymns, Mies Bodlo presided at tho harmonium. After thii tho evangelist, Mr Jbxloy, aUo eang ! another solo, the entire service lasting about 'an hour and a quarter. Other meetings : wore announced, to the evident: gratification of all. A more orderly and deeply inte rested audience was not gathered in any 1 city church, and good results will follow."

No telegrams of any importance came through from tho mining districts today. Cambrian cold for ss, and Saxons from Is id to la SJ. Bank sharo3 remained firm, buyerß c taring £17 15s: Loan and Mercan lilo Agency, buyers, £3 17s Cd ; gas shares cold, old i«ue, £10 15a ; new iaeue, £5 12s ud.

At tho Official Apsigneo's office to-day Albert Wickbam, a bankrupt under exam ination, deposed that he had been a general storekeeper for some years, but had been compelled to give up business in consequence of ill-health, koon competition, and lesser by bad debts. He was now on paged aa clerk ot £6 88 Sd per month. He returned £92 worth of stocks to the credi tors who had supplied it. The romaindtr was Btored away in his dwelling, and was now worth abuut £5. His liabilities were £222 and £100 on n mortgage on a building allotment with dwelling house. He considered that hi 3 assets would more than satisfy his creditors.

Martin Caßey, a bankrupt under examina tion, deposod that he hired 240 acres of land at the Wade about eight years, at a rental of £30 a year. There was oiso a purchasing clause for £720, which ex pires on the 10th of May, ISB7. Wit uees brought with him from Ireland a wife and nine children and £200. Ho advanced £110 to tho owner of the farm, and spent the remainder in stocking it. The money advanced had eince boen absorbed for rent. His children had all loft him, and he was now 67 years of age, and would be compelled to go on the gumueld to earn a living as he could not sell the farm. His total assets were his two cows, a horse, and dairy utensils, worth about £9. His furniture was not worth more than i.6. His liabilities amounted to £170 3a lOd.

The value of the commercial connection betweon the Australasian colonies and United States is well illustrated by statis tic which have just been published, ior the year ending Juno 30, ISSIS, the imports from tho colonies to America amounted to 3 S. r>o 360 dollars, while the oxporrs aggro- I'atcd 10,951 015 dollars St. that the colonies lire receiving over 7,000,000 dollars worth more goodß than they are exporting. With a balance of trade so much in thoir Savour, it seems but right that the United Stfates should give a substantial Bubsidy to wards the San Francisco mail service. I
