At the annual meeting of the Canterbury Progress League, the President Mr A. G.

The Minister of Mines (Hon G. J. Anderson) lias returned to Wellington after an inspection of the mining districts on the West Coast. He has made it is business, since lie became .Minister of Mines some months ago, to gain personal knowledge of all the mining districts, and he travelled over both the islands for this purpose. While in the Reefton district he was presented with a rich sample of quart/, from the recently-discovered netf reef. He mentioned in this connection that lie intended £o ask during the next session of Parliament for a substantial vote to assist prospecting for gold. He had faith in the future of the goldmining industry in this country. There was much gold remaining to be won, and if the production of the precious metal could be increased the whole Dominion would benefit. The Mines Department, added the Minister, had'not been inactive in this respect in recent years. It had given a good deal of encouragement to prospecting, and as a matter of fact the recent important discovery at Reefton was due in some degree to assistance that had been given by the Department.
