THE SLUDGE CHANNEL NEW REGULATIONS.

The following correspondence on the sludge-channel question has been handed to us for publication : To Mr Rolleston, Minister of Miues, Wellington. Copy of telegram to Fitz Gerald re Sludge-channel question : " Seddon represents one side only. Please delay action until particulars are sent by post." Alexander Miller. Kumara, June 11, 1884. To Alex. Miller, Esq., Kumara. | I have informed Mr Seddon that I have no intention of interfering with the regulations as they now stand and as amended by the Warden that they will be administered in the interests of all the miners concerned, and that I trust all parties will co-operate in making these work smoothly. W. Rolleston. Wellington, June 12, 1884, To W. Rolleston, Minister of Mines. We beg to inform you that two delegates have left here ostensibly with the object of interviewing you regardiog matters affecting the general interests of this goldfield. We desire to acquaint you that said delegates were appointed at a private meeting of a few of the miners who refuse to work nnder the new Sludge-channel Regulations, and that they have not made public what representations they intend to make to you. We have therefore come to the conclusion that their mission is entirely in their own interests, and particularly with the object of establishing a fixed priority of right to the use of the Bludgecliannd. We beg

to protest against such a right being granted as being an injustice to us and detrimental to the general interests of this goldfield. Should such a right be established, fully sixty men would be thrown idle. The only remedy is to insist that the new regulations shall be put in force, and we have every confidence in the Manager that they will be administered fairly. Alexander Miller, For self-arid sixty others. Kumara, June 16, 1884. To Alex. Miller, Esq., Kumara. Mr Rolleston desires me to thank you for the telegram which you signed on behalf of sixty miners. Your representations will have hiß attention. H. J. H. Sliott. Wellington, June 16, 1884.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS Are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and the most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money and credit on the good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else.. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
