MINING WEEK'S MINING NEWS

Februaiy 12 The MTstery Flat dredge worked a fa.cc U 17 chains kust week. The western and middle sections, where the bottom vra* red c!ay and " maories," remained fairly good, irhile in the eastern section the wash was jmtt drifty, with a good deal of coal bcttom. The dredgein*sier of the Lady Roxburgh •red^e reports under da.te Bth inst.:—" The jorkmg face continues m.± two chains and «f«*-quarters, vrath an average depth of 40ft. JSie bottom has changed somewhsut, being lnore joiaty aaid hard. We have about bossed the bump on the eastern side, and bettei prospects are. making there. AA week end fHoepeotj were very decent Tight acroM ,th* iao»." - Tbe MorjrHenx JEohinoor dredge resumed dredging on Monday, 10th. Everything is forking mdl. _ February 13. The Electric No. 1 diedgemaater reports: — "Dtaing the past week the dredge h*a worked 132 hours -for 23ft ahefcd, the width of Ihe cut being about 76ft "and. the depth up to 36ft. The ground continues rough iind the dredge is still working on the outer fedge end partly into a former plip. The sample of gold continues fine. Prospects during the week weie fairly uniform, and continued so on baturdav The No 2 machine gjjjlijxo- il"» w»p- UTrr'gccl 2?;* ahead oi- a

rut about 100 ft wide, and langing in depth up to 34ft. The sample of gold was fine, a htt'e over a third being coarse. The ground •was fairly ea*y, but the dredgemasfer was getting up a considerable number of big boulders. The river w«s fine and low at time of writing, and was still fal/ing slowly. The dredgemaster of the New First Chance diedge, reporting on the 9th met., stated that the river was still going down. When he gets a crow together and has one or two little jobs done he will ask his directors' permission, probably next week, to resume dredging operations for the present season A gang of men. including an engineer and blacksmith aud a shipwright, are at present giving the Sailor's Bend dredge a thorough overhaul for the incoming season. It must be. borne in mind that tEis dredge cannot fe'nme work until tne river registers as low as sft, or even under, at the Alexandra bridge. We are given to understand that residents of Alexandra are exceedingly anxious to keep the Alexandra Lead dredge m operation in their district, and with this object in view all possible assistance is to be given the directors to obtain water for the paddock. This means, of course, that if any quantity of rain should fall the surplus from the Chatto Creek race and the lately-acquired Butcher's Gully race would be at one* diverted into the company's paddock, and the dredge will be able to commence operations right away. It seems a great pity wiat euch a large dredge »hould become incapacitated when on re<ally good ground as has been proved by prospects m»de in an adjoining ! claim. I Owing to the low state of the nver, Goufts \ and party (old Matau) have been compelled to pull out of the bank. Dredging was com- . menced in mid-stream on Wednesday last ' The Cromwell correspondent of the Dunstm Times wTites — The intense heat experienced during the week, coupled with strong hot winds, has lowered the river to almost winteT level ; in feet, some rocks only /seen then are beginning to show up — Both the Shines had gcod reUirns, notably No 2, which only I worked four days.— The Punt and Riley's | Pevival dredges are both getting fairly good J ard steady returns. The master of the Otago No 1 ch-edge I reports a fairly good run last week. Some 1 time was lost owing to the end of the ladder springing, and requiring re-nveting. The ground 1 is fair, but the silt is troublesoj :e. ( The No. 2 machine is working well, j end getting clear of the silt. The ground, ' however, continues poor. ■ The Nokoinai Hydraulic Sluicing Company reports that there is not enough -water to elevate, and any water from the Lion race is turned into the No. 2 dam. The weather during last week was very warm, there beingonly one lay nnder 80deg Fahi. The heat , registered on the Bth was 86deg, with high arid warm NW. winds. Work at No. 2 elevaI tor goes on. The dam was filled to within one foot of th 2 top, but had loweied to 12ft on Saturday. The ground etill continues heavy, and stones are coming in much heavier. The report from No. 3 elevator is that the race that was being repaired is now finished, but as the supply of water is insufficient for elevating purposes the water now coming in is diverted to dam No. 2. February 14. The Mystery Flat master washed up for &loz 18dwt as the result of 118 hours' work. The Waikaia return is 370z 15dwt for 120 hours' work. The Masterton dredgemaster reports a return of 40oz 2dwt for 119 hours". The Hessey return is 350z ldwt for 127 hours' work. Both the Masterton and the Hessey dredges have had to work short time owing to boiler inspection. The Koputai dredge has had her broken crank shaft repaired at Port Chalmers, and forwarded on to the claim The secretary expects a wire at any time to say that the dredge has resumed work. The following dividends were declaied yesterday. — Manuherikia (twenty-second), Is per share, payable on the 20th inst. ; Charlton Creek (twenty-seventh). Is per share, payable on the 18th* inst ; Hoxburgih Amalgamated (forty-first), 6d per share, payable on the ISth inst. The Rise and Shine No. 1 dredge worked Bft ahead last week. The cut remained at 400 ft, and the depth was from 42ft to 48ft On the- west side the ground continued poor, but there waa an improvement in the other half of the cut. Owing to the river breaking into the west side of the paddock the dredge was pulled into that cut on Saturday for the purpose ,of blocking up the passage there, as well as to make a permanent channel for the coal boat. The Rise and Shine No 2 dredge worked 12ft on a cwt 200 ft wide, and from 88ft to 42ft deep with olay and sandstone bottom in patches throughout the cut, and a mte-look-ing wa*h, carrying good prospects. The Cromwell Syndicate dredge, a.t Cornish Point, started dredging at the beginning of the week after undergoing some neoessarv repairs. The Golden Beach dredge stopped last week in order to repaur the elevator and effect other necessary repairs During th« past three weeks the returns have shown a big improvement, and, as the dredgemaster widened the yaddock as soon as he took charge of tn« dredge, the machine is now able to work to better advantage It is expected that -when she resumes the dredge will have a good, steady iuh The Alexandra. Herald say*:— The Punt dredge is obtaining improved returns, and as aha works ahead better wash is being met with. The dredge-is not large enough to successfully work the ground.— The old Hartley has made another start. Mr B. Scott Jia» bean appointed elredgeinaster.— Both Electrics are working, but th« returns «r« not big. — Ai the Nevis some of the dredges *re reported to be doing well. The Crewe No. 2 *• on good wash, and we hear the returns i<.j the past three weeks have totalled a-Hogethea: 130oz. The Molynetuc Hydraulic is working steadily in the biarh face, »ndi thei machinery is running well aitex the recent overhaul. The water in the paddock is very low, and -tends to hamper the machine from treating the grexmd soiccearfully. TheTe are quite a number of mmeT<s on the look out for some-thing good being found

ait the Upper Ne\ii 9. id there is esrrj prospect of this being {ar and away the finest s'uicmg field in Otago shoitly —Cromwell Argus A large number of hydiaulic sluicing men horn the Upper News weie in attendance at the Warden's Court at Cioinv.ell last week many of these being called as witnesses in an important mining ca=e re dnwng a tunnel under a large v atei lace llns cate occupied m-ost ot the day, and, a- there are some intricate points involved. Wa-rden Burner? adjourned the case until he has visited the giound The Clutha Rivor dredge has not been obtaining payable returns during the past few weeks, and lib« clo=ed down. Some of the directors vi=itcd the c'a.m on Wednesday of la*t week, and they intend to lecommend the blocking of the river on the east side, theieby turning the current over to the his;h face, "arc! by this means they expect the river to sluice away the overburden. The Cromwell Argus states that as there was a considerab'e amount of mining business, involving several impoitant matters in connection with applications and water rights at the Upper Nevis, the warden adjourned several applications till he has paid a visit to that part of his district. The leef at Camck Range of Robeitson and Lawrence is opening out bettei than ever, and the prospects are very good This year at Nevis is the worst ever experienced there for water, the supply being exceptionally short. The only hydraulic claim working just now is Graham and party's the Ben Nevis Co. and R M'Dona'.d's claims having had to stop through the short supply. It »s rumoured there is a scheme on the board to get a "coiner" of the availab'e water at the Upper Nevis, and at the Warden's Court several applications were adjourned till a future date. The statement of aflmiis of the Hartley and Riley Beach Dredging Co. to December 31, 1907, shows that the amount of gold produced for the preceding year was 7980z 19dwt, valued at JE3087 17s 3d, the amount expended during the year being £2760 7s sd. The total quantity of gold produced since registration on July 14<h, 1897, is 29,1200z 6dwt, of a value of £112,610 12s Bd, and the total expendroure since registration amounts to £36 818 8s The capital of the company is 7000 shares of £1 each, 500 shares not being subscribed. The number of shareholders at time of registration was seven, ihe present number being 327. The total amount of dividends declared is £80,275 making £12 7s a share, 2s of this being paid j during the last y«ar. The amount of cash | on deposit and at the bank is £2254 4a lOd, with debts due to the company of £36 5s 6d. The amount of debts owing by xhe company totals £87 5s Bd. Theie was a good attendance at the monthly meeting of the Lake County Miners' Association on Saturday, the president occupying the chair. Mr E Hayes. Cardrona, wrote i 3 making application to the Government for subsidy towards developing a . mining privilege at Cardrona, and said that he would deposit £70 with the association, and asked for subsidy on that amount. It was decided to recommend the application on the deposit being lodged. It was decided to make application for the amount of subsidy granted to Mr Samebury, Skippers. Members spoke of the good work done by the association in the past. February 15. The Muddy Creek return is 13oz 9dwt for 110 hours' work. The master reports 350z ground, but the wash was exceedingly hard. The Swrtzers dredge is stopped at present owing to the top tumbler shifting on the shaft. The Mttnuherikia dredge is still working • m the beach. The secretary of the Branch Creek Sluicing Company reports that tne balance of the plant left Messrs A. and T. Burt's (the contractors) on Thursday. It should be on the claim about the end of next week. Everything is leady to start sluicing within three days after its arrival on the ground, when it is hoped that the claim will then be in full sluicing operations. The dredgemaster ot the Kura dredge reports under dste 13th inst.: — "I hope to have all repairs finished to-night, and to replace buckets to-morrow. I expect to resxuno dredging on Monday. The boiler wajs finished on Saturday night Th-© boilermaksr w»s kept on three extra days to assist with ladder | repairs, which took much longer than was expected." February 17. The Rising Sun master spent two days baling the paddock. The Punt master advises that prospects are poor on the top side. The Rise and Shine No- 1 was cleaning out the paddock all the week. The paddock is now clear of silt. The dredgmaster of the Bignell's No Town wired on Saturday as follows — " Washed up 40oz 13dwt for 191 hours' dredging. This includes removing drift. Six ounces of above was over from mats and tables before dredge sank. Timber has been troub'esome The master of the Golden G»tp dredge reports that the river is falling. The manager of the God King dredge reports as follows — Since taking charge of the dredge I have shifted dawn the river to near the Dumbarton Rock. I have repaired the winch and sciew gear, and ha\e also put on a new funnel. I started to dredge on Wednesday afternoon. We bottomed the i panic night on hard reef on the east side of the river, and started to open out a cut to- ( wards the west side. There was no wash I an the reef where we bottomed, but as we got out in the river the wash gradually I came in, and at the present time we are I working in a good body, which carries a I little fine gold all through it. The dredge is working steadily. ! February 18. j The height of the river at Alexandra on Monday morning was 6ft 2in. Light ram fell on the previous day. During the week ended 12th inst. the manager of the Mount Rex tin mine (Avoca) has been engaged prospecting for lode at the Lead of alluvial workings. The No Town Creek return is 430z for 130 hours. The Nelson Creek dredgemaster reports a wash-up of 330z for 133 hours. Tha New Roxburgh Jubilee dredgemaster I has closed down for repairs. There was no I wtißh-up last week. The Koputai dredge resumed work at 12 o'clock on Sunday night Sluicing at Bald Hill Flat has been stopped owing to the shortage of water. At Mattukanui afl the sluicing claims are practically idle. The present rain, if general, may see a marked difference in these conditions. The drodgemaster of the Riley's Revival dredge reports that he was effecting necessary repairs most of last week, and hoped to resume dredging on Friday, 14th. The dredge will now work right across the river in a. face, and, as she is jußt on ground not touched before, the dredgemaster expects improved returns in conseqtience of having a much longer face. The dredgemaster of the Enterprise dredge advises that he ha<? been occupied | strengthening the eleiator ladder, and ex-

pected to make a start dredging on Monday afternoon. The Clutha Rivei diedge is now diedgmg to bock up tho b'mcl channel near where =he has been woiking so as to divert the uhole of the natei into the river on to the tront o! the claim When this work is completed she will be moved up to the uuv.oikcd poition of the claim higher up the n\er wheie it is expected pa\\ibie gold will be obtained All ihe machinery not requncd on tho Peise\erauce No. 2 in connection with the new method of woiking has been taken off and carted to the top of the bank. The matter and ciew are now engaged in effecting othei necessaiy alterations ui.cler the direction of the engineer (Mr W M'Callum). During the week Mi E- Robert', consu ting engineer, paid a v»sit of inspection to Ibe dredge and the pumping apparatus will ba ordered without delay.— Alexandra Herald. Says the Alexandra Herald — " There is a scarcity of dredge hands in the district, and applications for winchmen at 12s per shift have failed to find a ready response Should the present dearth of dredgemen continue there will be some difficulty in securing experienced men to man the goige fleet during the coming season." Additional hands have been put on in Mr Farrel 's mines at Macetown, and driving on several reefs is being pushed on (says the Lake County Press). The old Lady Fajre reef is being opened out, and we understand that the stone ahead looks proThe ' statement of affairs of the Criffel Lead Sluicing Company shows that the gold produced since registration was 114oz 6dwt 2°t, value £442 13s 2d. The nominal capital of the company is £9000. The amount expended in carrying on operations during the preceding \-ear was £1954 17s 4d, and the total amount expended since registration £7205 Is 7d. . , Much attention is being directed to the water rights from Butcher's Gully and also at Bold HO Flat (says the Alexandra Herald). At tha local Warden's Court last wee* several applications of different characters were dealt with- John Ewmg once a^ain sought to have the purpose of two rights from Butcher's Gully changed from mmmg to irrigation, but was again refused An application for abandonment of a race at B^d Hill Flat was heard, but a fine was inflicted in lieu of abandonment. lne Borough of Alexandra applied for an extension of water-race at Butcher's Gully, and also two dams all of which were objected to by Josiah P. Lane, and. on the consent of both parties these applications were adjourned till the March court. Water in- these localities has evidently become valuab c. and all holders are hard put to it to protect their respective rights. The master of the Rising Sun dredge reports that the dredge was dropped back on Saturday week to work up the river portion of the cut. The paddock \v<>s full of silt. The master started bailing it out, and did not bottom till Monday night. He dredged 125 hours and worked Bft ahead. The ground is fairly deep, there being a gutter 50ft deep. The prospects axe fair, and the machinery is running well. Considering that the Rising Sun devoted two days to cleaning out the paddock, which was so full of silt that tbe hangers were out of the water when she started to bail it out, her return of ever 48oz was very good. The river portion of the cut had been left since the big flood that occurred last Easter. About a dredge length and a-half will have to be worked up before ths face is squared. The boilex was blown down on Saturday night to allow of the annual boiler inspection, which took place yesterday, consequently full time cannot be made this week. Notesr from Croinwel!. (Fbom Our Own Coehespondent.) CROMWELL, February 15. Dredging matters are quiet, and no returns of any importance have been got this week. The Rise and Shine No. 1 dredg-e has been opening out a" new cut, but the No. 2 is doing well. The Raley's Revival dredge has been repairing all the week, and did not waah up. The Electric dredges are not doing well, and the prospects of dividends ahead are not bright just now. Sluicing claims are mostly stopped on account of a short water supply and the rain seems no nearer. yotes from Roxburgh(From Ov% Own Cobrkspondkht.) ROXBURGH. February 13. Notwithstanding the lorg spell of dry weather, the sluicing claims belonging to the Roxburgh Amalgamated Company and the Ladysmith Company have still been able to work, although the water m the dam at the head of the Teviot Hirer has been gradually lessening. Both companies obtained good returns for last month. The Jubilee dredge is working steadily near the tailings at the moutlT~of the Teviot River. Some time «go the directors of the Lady Roxburgh dredge removed the screen and had sluice boxes put on the dredge in its place. The experiment has proved very tatisfiactory. The alteration is working well, and saves much time, and is cheaper in the upkeep. The dredge is now at work on her original claim at Coal Creek, and is getting good returns. The dredgemaster expects the returns to improve on the return cut, as he had indications that good gold was being left behina on the west side. There should be about 18 months' fairly steady returns for this company^ When the present olaim is worked the company have an area of almost virgin ground to try just ahead of the Xohinoor Company. Judging by the results obtained by a small dredge on this ground some years ago, good gold should be got here. The old Deposit dTedge got 80oz in one week, but she was not powerful enough to work the ground. The Lady Roxburgh can dredg* $2ft J and is very strong *nd powerful, and ia in good repair The directors of this company have been very careful and farseeing, "and the shareholders have every r«sson to be well satisfied with their actions Notes from Greymoutli.

(Per, United Press Association.) AUCKLAND. February IS. The way in which the Waihi mine if opening up at No. 8 level goes far to prove that there are vast reserves of valuable ore for the future use of this world-famous mine. At No. 8 level the Edward Reef proves 75ft m width, all the ore being of a highly payable value. Some of it is very rich. A block of about lewt, on view at the office of the company, is very heavily mineralised- . It shows broad seams of the precious metal through it. At various parts of the block free gold can also be seen, -and altogether this may be considered the most important development the Waihi Company has ever had to report. An idea of the way in which the mine is opened up may be gathered from the fact that it will be a year or two yet before the stoping for supplying the ore to the mill will require ■to be put down at this point, there being now 1.300,000 tons of ore already opened up ready for breaking out when required. AUCKLAND, February 14. The important development in ths Edward reef of tho Waihi Company's mine at No. 8 level, to which reference was made last week, has had the effect of oausmg a smart advance in the price of shares in that company. To-day sales were nr&de at £9 5s 6d, which means an advance of £1 per thare in this stock during the past three weeks, and l : as there are 500,000 shares in the company this is a rise of half a million in tha market value of Waihi shares. i THAMES SCHOOL OF MINES. (Fboic Otro Own CoH3»a:sPoin>»irrJ WELLINGTON, February 14. The application of the Thames School of Mines for a grant to erect a wet crushing plant and building has been approved, and authority for the expenditure of a sum not exceeding £1000 has been conveyed to th« secretary. OLRIG DREDGING COMPANY. The ninth annual report is as follows 1:—1 :— " Dredging was recommenced in April of last year, and since then the dredge hu worked 36 weeks, and won 4970z Bdwt fflgr of gold, valued at £1928 Bs, an average weekly return of 13oz 16dwt sgr, equal to £63 lls 4di per week. The average weekly expense fo* running the dredge has been about 9&oz, equal to £35 10s 6d. The purchase price oi the water-race and plant from Messrs J. and J. G-aftley was £1600, and of this amount we have paid £620, leaving a contingent liability of £980, which we aa>e paying off at th« rate of £30 per calendar month. Two directors will have to be eleoted in lien ol Messrs James Rivers and S. B. Howlett, who- retire by rotation, but, being eligible", offer themselves for re-election. The auditoi (Mr E. R. Smith) also retires, but, being eligible, offers himself for re-election." THE MOLYNEUX KOHINOOR DREIDGING COMPANY. The following is the annual report and balance sheet of the Molyaeux Kohinoor Dredging Company, to be submitted to share-holders at the usual meeting: — " The directors herewith submit to tJw shareholders the balance sheet of the company for the year ending January 31, 1908, and regret that dredging operations for the year have not been very successful. Out of the 52 weeks the dredgemaster has only washed up on S3 ooasions, the aggregate yiekl being 5510z lldwt 6gr, value £2113 0b 3d. The funds of the company being now exhausted, it will be necessary to consider the financial position if the dredge does not strike payable gold before the end of the month. In accorandce with the articles of association of the company, two of the directors — namely, Messrs H. Adam and F. W. Mitchell — retire, as also does Mr G. M. Mac Lean. the auditor. All these gentlemen being eligible, offer themselves for re-elec-tion.
