THE PROSPECTING ASSOCIATION.

[tfo TECH EDITOR. ] Sir —On reading the report of the meeting at Dillman’a Town, T see ;that ,; Mr,. Seddoil was there ; cortafadV he was hot authorised by the dommitteb-';V.But,- as one of the Committee, I was surprised to hear of this man’s fault-findjng.nrithi. the work that has been carried piit 'wiStf the' ; V greatest care by the ProspectfegAosocia l -' • tion. Will it be believed:that:he,never ... attended a meeting of the Oonpnittee ; in. ; fact his name has been scratched off the list for non-attendance*;’and. be.'-talks' of ... selfishness. He has just'hsed:tide hypo- • \ critical word once too of fed. Hia public career in this district, rd Mr Qeorge’s ' election and other things, ahoWthathe is ' - the very esaeilce of selfishness himself., “ Another sneering remark hemadewaa that one shaft waS put down ?8 feet, I. will tell him that another has been pat '. down 80 feet deep. So. much foT his knowledge of matters of this kind.. : But it la just like hia unblushing front. But he wanted to curry favour with the miners. Do they forget the Okukn waferrace business? 1 may say, once andior . all, that I and others thought that there was intelligence enough In the district-ty which the meeting was called to carryout"' " the work for which it was specially convened ; and I an* still of the same opinion, that the people could have done this business very well without Mi Seddon’a usual forwardness. . ’ .
