WAIHI.
Things here are still, flat, stale and unprofitable, owing to the insufficiency of water for battery purposes, but it rained steadily for several hours yesterday, and to-day there is every prospect of another downpour, so that the manager of the Martha battery may be able to run the full force of that plant again very soon. At the different mines hero, there are about 1000 tons of quartz ready for reduction, and therefore the battery will be fully employed foy some time to come. i Three teams of horses are at work | carting quartz from the Union mine to Paeroa, from whence it will be shipped to Thames. The contract is for carting 60 tons, and 1 believe the whole of this is to be senfe to London where it will realise a big price in the open market, the last parcel of 17 tons from this mine having fetched £43 per ton.
