MINING NEWS. WAIORONGOMAI.
There is nothing of importance to record from any of the mines in this district. Notwithstanding the recent rainfall the water supply has again so fallen off that there is now only sufficient motive power to drive 15 head of stampers, which are engaged in reducing New Find ore. Mr Cheal on yesterday completed the survey of the large area of land recently taken up by tho Battery Company for mining purposes.
A CORRECTION. In our last issue we slated that fie return from about three- quarters of a cwt of picked .tone from the Success mine was 3oz 15dwts retorted gold Mr J. McL. Murray, principal owner of the mine hua informed us the figures given were wrong, and states the correct return as being 3oz lGdwts from 251b of picked stone. We regret any error should have occurred, and cannot understand how such a mistake could have been made in the figures furnished us.
MORE PEGGING OUT. Wo understand the Battery Company have peo'<fp<l off for mining' piuposos a fuithor area of about 40 acres at Wanron gomai. The land, it is stated, lies between the special claims already applied for by Messrs P. Ferguson and J. U. Firth, and includes the old Navy, Werahilco, and Wititoki ground.
TE AROHA. Protection has been granted for three months to the following claims : Champion Lode No 1, 2, 3, and 4, Keep it Dark, Albion, Crladsioie, and Mark Moon. Also to the Surprise No 1 for one month.
