The sheelite industry at the head of Lake Wakatipu is still attracting miners and others-irom all parts. The Wakatipu "Mail" says that .almost every steamer takes up fresh men, and if suitable they can readily find employment in the mines or with one or other of the private syndicates that are working on the various "hills or mountains. There are at present nearly 70 men employed in the industry, and it is expected that there will be over 100 men engaged by January next. The recent severe weather has prevented many private parties from going out to the higher levels —the recent snowstorms completely covering up the whole of the workings—but it is expected, with the return of warm weather, that the industry will be steadily pursued in all the holdings.
