Father Seymour. These windows have been presented to the Sacred Heart Church by Dr W. A. Conlon, and have been placed in .position on the north side of the church. The eastern one representing the Crucifixian- is a magnificient work of art, and the second one representing Agony of our Lord' in the Garden, is also a very fine work. The first window is in memory of the Pioneer Priests of the Parish, and the second one in memory of the pioneer Sisters of Mercy .of the Parish. After'-the unveiling ’ Ceremony Rev. Father Seymour delivered a very eloquent sermon on-Art and spoke of the work and sacrifice of the pioneer priests and sisters of the parish, making special reference of the late Dean Brbrsfield and the late Dean Holland, and their activites and life work in Reefton and elsewhere. Excellent news is to hand regarding the progress of the preparatory work, at the Okarito-Five Mile Cold Dredging proposition. The pipe line from Lake Alpine to the claim a total distance of three miles is now completed, and has been tested out satisfactorily. It is a work of considerable mignitude, and it was a heavy job to get the material on the ground, apart from the construction, which includes the crossing of a lagoon.. The pressure industrial was 14Qlbs, and the water power was most effective in cutting a channel through a pile of old headings which were found to be gold beaiing, the pioneer miners owing to the absence of sufficient water, not having been able to obtain all the gold of the rich deposits. It is understood the working of these old headings will be a payable proposition. Following the try out, the water power is now being used to make an excavation to install the blow up plant, and this completed will enable gold winning to begin in real earnest.
