DUNEDIN, October 26. In the Lawrence district there are a number of goldmining claims which were worked out in the early seventies by the ordinary sluice method. The deposit left behind by the sluicing process is known as cement conglomerate, and 'with the assistance of the Mines Department, a company that hjls been working in tins district since 1900 is about to try and win the gold that is generally admitted to be there. Up-to-date machinery has. been obtained for drilling holes and for crushing the cement. Officials of the Mines Department have gone very fully into the matter with the result that the Government has authorised payment cf a subsidy equalling half the cost of drilling and improving the values of the deposits. The results obtained so far indicate that it should he a payable proposition to mine these deposits, and it is likely that if this venture proves a success, other companies will be promoted to work the deposits not only at Lawrence but elsewhere in Otago.
