' The mine manger of Boatman’s Consolidated Gold Mines, Ltd., reports as follows for the month ending March 31st. last:—“The reef, which is still being driven on, has straightened up a good deal and is more regular, showing every promise of making bigger as it goes north.

Mahena for Sydney oil route to China, on Thursday evening, | was found to be in possession of £7O j in gold when examined hy a Customs ; officer. The money was contained in a belt concealed underneath the China man’s clothing. As it is an offence to take gold out of the tommy, the money was confiscated, but the Chinaman was allowed to proceed on his voyage. IV’garding the moratorium, a case was mentioned to the Attorney-General (Sir Francis Bell) where money was deposited with an investment company atr 4v per cent,’and the owner, owing to the company refusing to allow him to withdraw it to meet engagements, bad to borrow from a hank at 7 per cart. The question asked was whether such people had a right under the Act to charge the difference in rates against the company holding their money. Sir Francis Bell said the position was that the man spoken of had to suffer for tin' good of the country as a whole up to May 31st— that was the date of which an absolute moratorium existed. After that date the moratorium v ouid he continued only in oases where t.ie company concerned gave the necessary notice. Then the lender would he entitled to at least 1 per cent, extra A lender in the position stated might feel that he had a claim to the extra parentage charged him by the hank, but that was a matter to be placed before a Judge of the Supremo Court m chambers, who would have to de<. do the question of hardship.

• The .Minister of Railways Mr Mashov) in 11 letter to Mr T. E. i\ Seddou, M.P., in reply to representations made in Grcvmouth by the Progress Jx-aguc U) Air Massey, states:—“So far as the J’ailw ay Department is concerned, whenever the steamer is late m airiving at Lyttelton, the best arrangemen possible is made to minimise inconvenience. This train, however, cannot be delayed longer than 25 minutes as pile return service requires to make a connection with the ferry train from ' Christchurch to Lyttelton, so that, in considering the question of delaying the morning train, the Department has to keep in view the prospect oi the steamer connection being missed on the return journey. You may, however rest assured that travellers to and’from the West Coast will not be detained unnecessarily, and 1 am con dent that when the position is explained bv von to' the Progress League the members will appreciate the difhculty Confronting the Department.
