EXCHANGE RATES

NEW ZEALAND ON LONDON The Bank of New Zealand advises an alteration in the London exchange rates as from September 4. Following is the new schedule: —

MINING NEWS HAURAKI CONSOLIDATED. The manager reports as follows:—“As per telegram, 201 b of rich specimen stone was won from the stopes on the Stockwood reef, at the 400 ft level. It consists of broken pieces embedded in dry tough pug lying on the hangingwall of the reef. These pieces are coated with a thin secondary deposit of silica partially covering the gold, which is strong and leafy. It is evident that these fragments were broken from the reef higher up by un earth movement and dropped into what were then open spaces in the fault which later became cemented with the eroded material now forming the . pug formation on the hangingwall of the reef. If this theory is reasonable, then better results should be obtained as stoping proceeds AUCTION NOTES Messrs.
