GREYMOUTH NOTES.
(SPECIAL TO "THE TRESS.") GREYMOUTH, February 4. Beyond the remarks in tho Christchurch nnd Dunedin papers, Mr Guinness knows nothing of the rumours regarding the Speakership. Work in connection with the extension of the railway down the Inangahua Valley was commenced yesterday, when several gangs of men started. The work is to be prosecuted vigorously. The Ross railway nnd State coal mine are now being pushed ahead with great expedition. The tug Westland, which has been fitted with new machinery, made a trial trip yesterday in a Jong fprell. She registered twolve and a half knots per hour. She is provided with very powerful machinery of the latest pattern, and is emid to be one of the most powerful and the farteet tugs in the colony. The timber trade is very brisk, and mills are working full time. The Dobeon coal bore ie down 1720 feet. The engineer estimates from the strata that coal will not be etruck under 1850 feet.
