Signs of a revival in goldmining interests were indicated by the Warden’s Court proceedings yesterday whereat sixteen prospecting licenses for the Teremakau River were granted to tiie Rinm Gold Dredging Coy. Mr B. E. Cranston, the General Manager of the Company, is expected to arrive here about Christmas and important developments are likely to follow. The dredge at Hinm Flat lias a long term of workahead of it in ground proved to be auriferous. There is a suggestion of a second dredge for working the Flat. It so. additional electric power will be required, as also power for the Teremakau operations. It is considered not unlikely, if it is determined to secure more power, that Lake Kanieri will lie tapped for a fresh race carrying a larger volume of water to be conducted probably chiefly by pipes to the power site at Kanieri Forks. These are matters which will engage Mr Cranston’s attention when he arrives here. Tlip prospects for a mining revival in the Okarito district are considered also to be very promising.
