extraordinary richness of ' J hi. *' 10 early alluvia! workings .. on tho West , Coast may X£'. be gathered from tho fact that.VaiiriuK the .first; seven year* after . tho-beginning of tlio rush, gold to tho vahlKof over ten millions sterling was protuint'd.

' At "'tho timo of tho first discovery of gold in tho Collingwood district of Nelson tho European popti-' lation in tho -North and South Islands was only about 50,000. In 18C1, when the Ofcago rush began, tho population roso to 90,000, an inereaso of 49,000 in foiir. years. In the following threo yoars, fr was •■rcb'.it;sAlie!fl:titfHho':total-^'rosb !

The water-races built Miero by the Government and by private concerns have effectually ■ prolonge'd'.tho life of the-field, which is, \ however, long past its zenith. It is stated that considerably over £1.000,000 has/.b.ceii extracted from tho claims.in the.Trinity of lumiara. i, , ; . Drctiglns, ~.

Crold dredging is a lan'gnislung' in.dus-. try-'efii tho West Coast and each year considerable addition to tho list of concerns closed down. Many of tho drMljj'es did remarkably well for a 'time, but'.tim fields have been gradually worked jout, until now only about half a dnzeii' dredges aro- in • operation. Tlio Worlfsop dredge, on Antonio's Flat, continues to be tho most profitable eou-cern-'of tho kind in tlio Dominion. Tlio I'actolus, which lias paid out in dividends between £GO,OOO and £70,000, shiili dowii last week. In 1012 tho last two dredges on the Duller River stopped working. The only new venturo on foot is apparently that of xi Whangamoinona .syndicate, which is about to place'u dredge on the Five, Mile .Beach,. Okarito. This beach was one of the rieh'e'at , of tho old black sand hea'clies' in the early days. , ';■,: The Black Sand Boachas.

'.Elie> black sand beaches arc iironc or two-cases b&iii.'j; profitably worked, but thq,.chief obstacle to success in most instances is tho lack of any means -for saving the whole of the sold' which 'is , of rbmarkablc fineness.

Alluvial Mining. Alluvial mining on tlio West Coast is rapidly becoming an enterprise for capital. Tlio more accessible- and easily worked deposits liavo become exhausted, luit it is pointed out in the last .Mines Statement, there.arc still considerable possibilities in ■ some of tho immense low-grade deposits. -These will undoubt* cdly be worked on a large scalo some day, as thero is. in nearly every case amplo water-supply available. Mr. T 0. Bishop, Inspector of Mines at ltcefton, in jits report says that tho expenditure of a large amount of capital will be required, but tho deposits aro so largo and the gold-contents -apparently so regular" that there- is every reason to believe that a profitable- industry will result. , ■. • '

Tho most, profitable' sluicing concern at tho present timo is the old Mont d'Or Company at Koes. This company commenced work in June, 1878, on an alluvial «roa in Sailors' Gully,' and was registered in July, 1882, .Between tlia't dtito and tho end of last year it had produced gold to tho'value of £14-1,730, and paid £iju,2oo'in.-diyidenda on. its paid-up capitaF of £10,800.' Tho company has lately opened up a lower face, iielow tlie ojd 'r'oiul level, arid the secre- 1 tary, Mr. T. W. Bruce, states that it has ten years' work ahead of it. The amount of gold produced last year was £2517 7s. 10d. Seven men aro. employed by the .company, which has forty'Mvo shareholders.

An important development in connection with :i!iuvial mining lias been tlie formation, of the Lake Hcehstottei , Gojdfiolds, Ltd., for the purpose. ■• of : workini;'. a large area at G/crman Gully ' iin'd i.idjaccrit:localities near Ahaura, in tlio Grey Valley. Tlic company was formed in ]J)1!2 in Sydney with capital shares:of ss. oacli;; •It lias- -since bceii engaged , 'on the con-' struction oF a, watpr-raco of eighty heads from Lake Hochstetter to Sullivan's, a distanco of six miles and a' half. The company expects to begin sluicing operations at the end of this vear, or, aft latest, early next year. Operations will bo on a wholesale scalo as compared. with old-timo methods.of slnicmgj - : and ;eight' or nine nozzles' will 'bd"wo'rkiiip;'"on' the faces. With the exception «f the operations' of tho Ross Goldfields Company, described below,' the rest of the alluvial iiiinirijr on the Coast is at present .being carried on by small parties working bero and there - with moderate success.

■''.'{■'■■ The; Ross Deep Levels. Onb'of the most remarkable., features of tho \Yestlahd goldiields is the'fainous flat at .Rosa, whoro successive, layers of nuriformis gravels have been found, oxtcudiiiK down to a depth of 392 feet, and even at that depth there appears no evidence of a real bottom. This is tho 0n1y;,,-;,:placo-. in JJew ' Zealand where" alluvial drifts liavo been worked from deep - shafts: Eight separate bods of gold-bearing gravels' have been found, and sonio of those 'have been extraordinarily rich. It is recorded tlnit one. G'a.ssius,. a notable figure in the old days on the Coast, obtained from this flat over 22,(l00oz. of «old in two years, and at the top end, known as Jones's Flat, over five tons of gold has been obtained. . Kxtraordinnry, difficulties ivero met ■with in working the jlat as time went 'on.' Immense quantities of water camo in through tho old workings, and the mines was a well-nigh • Mrperhumlin> task with tho plant available in the old days. At ouo stage tlio (■laim holders, together with the residents, subscribed sufficient capital to placo a drainage engine on tho flat, which worked two 14-inch pumps, but these wero not of sufficient capacity to deal with tho water. After an effort to get more- capital the claims worn abandoned. Four years later Mr. Patrick Commisky interested London capitalists in tho enterprise, and a Hydraulic ptimping plant was installed. All went well until the old workings were broken into and there was an inrush of water altogether' beyond the capacity of Che phllitj and' iill operations wero siisjiuiidod. This was in 1387, and. although tho Government offered a subsidy of £15,000 to any company with sufficient capital tn -work the ground properly, iho land lay idle arid waste for many -\earr>. Tho enterprise was subsequently taken "up by the Boss Goldiields, Ltd., and in June, IUIO, the company had puccecded in umyatoring tho mine, and .mining .Operations wero begun and continued until August 12 of tho same year, when ii ibi'oakdoAV.a occurred. The capital of the company was at this time., exbaust-■fi'dj'.aftd-.ifi'vMs decided to reconstruct it. Tlio pumping operations had boon ca'r'riwT on'ijy electricity obtained from .Lako.Kanieri, twenty-two miles away, and as the breakdowns had occurred through defective insulation, a Diesel, ohgine of 'JSO h.p. was installed at the mine, as .ft .standby. After two months' ftontinuous pumping at ihe rat© of 2000 gallons a minute, the ground was v.nwalered at'the end of June, 1913. 'Iho company hns. its development work iiow well advanced, and has a iviiiw? down 72 feet from the No. G level, which it purposes continuing on 'tn the sandstone.. Since. 1872 a sum of £197,000 lias been expended by four companies in- -efforts to unwnter and work these mines, which yielded so rich a.harvest prior to their inundation.

QUARTZ MINING. STORY OP THE KRBFTOX FIELD. Recftou, the contro of the quartzmining industry on tlio West Coast, first came into prominence in 1870, when Mr. Westh'eld tool; up a claim at Murray ,Cicck. His right, to the ground was disputed by ii Mr. Kelly, who was awarded a portion of the area. Tho reef wa-s named aftor Kelly, mid a larg.) miinber of. claims w<7lo applied for on tho liiie, tho best known being the

United Band of Hope, Golden Hill, Westland, All Nations', Victoria, Phoenix, and Dan O'Coimell. In 1872 auriferous quartz was found at Boatmaii's Crock. • ■

I The auriferous lodes in tho district j are very oxtensive, and tho gold is cf a high value, and tho ore tree-milling. The lodes, although not generally so 1 rich as ut Coromandel ami Thames, aro more regular in value. The district i.s by no means thoroughly prospected, and within the last few years- soino of tho most profitable- properties have, been opened up. Two of tlio most successful of the early claims were tho Ajax and tho Cloldeii Fleece. They were situated on tho top of a hill 1400 feet above the jevel of the fiat, and it was only, after incredible, exor.tions that boilers and. machinery could bo put on the ground. There were iio roads ami tho Ajax mine's.boiler was taken on a punt up ,tho Duller-and Inangaliua Rivers, and then hauled up tho face of the hill by capstans! at cliuVrent . pdints. .Other claims were rapidly taken up, including the Wealth of-Nations, Energetic, lveep-it-Dark, Inkormnn, and many more abandoned years ago. .. ■ ~. -, ■ . Tho Ziman Enterprises. In ISSG Mr. David -Zimah came to New'Zoaland, purchased the-Globe,- I'ro-grt-33, "Wealth of Nations, and Golden Fleece Mines, andfonhed a company in London known as tho Consolidated Goldfields of New Zealand , with - an authorised of £300,000. ; . The company afterwards purchased tho Welcome and other mines at Boatman's. It also formed tho Globe and Progress mines into a separate compaii3\ Tho operations of the company were extended in 1006, in which year Mr. Khi<;swell, of lteefton, obtaincd-an-option over a new properly, in the Blackwator district-in tlio llp'per Groy Valley. In May of that year the Consolidated Goldfields. obtained nn option over the field, and by December of that year it had floated a new company, tho Blackwater Mines, Ltd., with a capital 'of £250,000. By the original, transaction the company acquired 36 properties on the 'AVest ; Coast,.amount- ; ing in all to-3590'acres, from . which prior to acquisition■ 3u'2,6540z. had been obtaiiied. v- -■j■ ■'■ '•-■■' -.

; The , Progress Mines arc .situated about four, miles from 'R-eefton.. Tho vein, from which good 2°kl has been obtained to a , .depth "of 1700 ft., strikes east' and west and comprises three largo quartzbodies varying in width between 4ft. and 20ft. In the company's last annual report it is stated 'that owing to the strike, of miners operations, wore confined to less than half tho year. Tho, 'total gross revenue was £20.!)01, while the expenditure in New Zealand anjl London on ininiii<:, milling; and''general oxpensosi inclusive of special expendi-. turo arising from tho --strike, was% £21,220, leaving a loss of £221). Tlio balance carried forward'..to,'.the., : debit ,of. : the-pj'pfif and-loss : accouht was £25,917'." Tho company's' , interest in the Biaclc-" water Mines consists of 86,705 shares.

At the "Wealth of Nations mino the workings now extend clown to a depth of 2000 ft., and tho shaft is the deepest in New Zealand. There are two parallel and nearly vortical veins on.tlio property situated about 150 ft. apart. This mine- is the principal concern of the parent company, tho Consolidated, Gold-, fields of Now Zealand. The company's last annual report states tho revomio for 1912 (a strike .year) was £19,835, 'and tho expenditure £IG,G.')B, leaving a balance- of "£3107. This sum added to the balance from the .preceding'year gives a totaV.-of £54,79 G. .As tho/.ordiliary shareholders in tho company. have received dividends, aggregating 100' per. cent., the founder's shartf.of, £1 "(allot-; ted to Mr. Ziinan) is now entitled to receive 25 per cent, of the annual profits available for distribution. Tho option under which the company was en-titled-to ac<<uiro tho .founder's slinro for 80,000 fully-paid-up shares matured in April, 1913, but was not exorcised. The Blackwater Mine, tho last of tho Consolidated Goldfields group, is situat-, cd in tho Upper Blaclcwater -district, on the hills eastward of the GreymouthRcefton railway ami south of the New Tiig River Mine. The field is similar in its" p.eueral characteristics to that at Reefton. The annual report issued last July showed n gross profit of £GG7O for the vear. Tho ore- reserves were'then estimated by the manager at rl.aOo tons, and in addition a further tonnngo amounting to 27,715 tons of possihlo ore" brmiffht tho total to 99,620. tons of an average value of lO.lSdwt. over 26in. ' ' . • New Big River.

Tho most prosperous mine on tlio West ' Coast to-day is the New Big Uiver. The mine lies about twenty miles south of Reefton, and tho present company is ono of the youngest in tho district. It was registered in 1007 with a capital of £600Q in 24,000 shares of 5s on which 6rt. has been called up. From tho formation of tho company up to Julv 31 last gold had been won to the" total value of £159,355, and £74,400 was paid' in dividends, equal to G2s. on every share of sixpence paid 'i'ho reef was first worked as far back os 18SG, mid a company was formed in Reefton to develop the property, ihe lodo was prospected nnd followed down under tho surface. It proved orratic, but most of tho stone carried good yold, and the company, in the faco of JJreat difficulty, erected a 10-head battery and sank a main sli aft 300 feet deep, connecting mine and battery l>y an aerial lino of !G chains. In 1891 the capital of £12,000 was oxhausted, and tho shareholders formed themselves into a now company with another £12,000 capital. After sixpence per sharo had been called up a long run of prosperity followed, lasting until 1900. Gold was won to the value of £95,000, and dividends totalling £40,200, or £2 per sharo, ucro paid. A disturbance in the lodo necessitated llie calling up. of tho remaining cap!t;il, and between July, 1900, and tho middle of 1000, only three dividends of Is. per sharo wero paid. The total gold production of tho mine from Us first opening up until July of last year was £208.018, and tho distribution in'dividends £12'>,895.

Last year the company installed a largo quantity of new plnnl, fit an expenditure' approaching £10,000. Keap-it-Dark Mine. Another profitable property in the fteefton field is tlio Keop-it-Dark Mine, which has been worked continuously since 187.'i by a. local company, with its headquarters at ltecftoii.' Thy property is about half a mile to the soutji of tiie Wealth of Nations Mine, and the vein operated on.nt both mines is similar in size and general features. In 1011, after tliirty-srvpi) years of profitable wortc, and the payment of IS! dividends, amounting (<j il. r iH,ii»J mi a paidup capital of J-870S, the company was rftcnnslrurtfld. The new concern has ■ a nominal capital of £10,000, of which £2750 hn.s been rolled up. Important development has pince. been carried on, and tno outlook for the future of the

mine is stated to 6c good. Tire report ' of the directors to be pf&stiitad at"tfac I annual mcctiiif; to-morrow slates that for the past two months an intermodtato botwcL'ii Mo.
