and the Cassel Co are also building a couple of cottages. A latece lot of machinery is expected shortly for the latter Company, The ivanhoe and Truro Co .'a battery and pan plant started to Avork on Tuesday and is stated to be highly satisfactorily in its running. It is a small but compact plant, consisting of four head stamps one pan,and one settler. Room hns been left for second pan which will shortly be put intoits ' place. An ingenious method intended tosavo 1 much of the floatage loss has been deviled by Mr McCombie, the manager. The overflow of the tanks is caught in a tank outside the battery, and by means of a Oalifornian pump "(an endless bt>lt with battens attached, running in a box flume), the whole of the overflow is brought bick into the battery and goes right through again. The motive power is a Pelton 40 h p., the water supply being obtained from the Woodstock race, with a fall of about 38 to 40 feet. At Waihi affairs are also much more satisfactory. The whole of the machinery, which has given so much trouble, is now, working well^and there are 600 or7ooozs f . amalgam on hand. „,,,'" > Mr E. K. Uooper has now four teams carting out his machinery to Waitekauri, but the recent heavy rains did much damage to the new road. lam afraid Mr Cooper will have some trouble in getting his boiler carted out owing to the state of the road. He is, however, not easily discouraged, and I have no doubt that he will start his plant before winter. Mr E. M. Corbett is looking after affairs on the mine, and everything is proceeding satisfactorily. Tuesday. The body of William Kelly, the unfortunate man who committed suicide last week at the Junction mill was found this morning, and brought up by Constable Mitchell to Paeroa, where it was placed in an out house on the property of Mr Maurice Power. The face and body were much disfigured and the features totally unrecognisable. An inquest will be held this afternoon. The unfortunate man is said to have been suffering from cancer in the brain, a small quantity of liquor sufficing to excite him. Two or three accidents have occurred during the past few days in the district. Mr Thos. Shaw, while working on a scaffold at Waihi last Saturday, fell a distance of 11 feet, and somewhat seriously hurt himself. He fell on his back on a piece of scantling and his kidneys ara said to be affected. A highly successful concert took place in the Paeroa Public Hall on Monday night. Foremost among the singer* were Mrs Kilgour and Mrs Payne, of theTliames, who were encored in every number. Mrs Kilgour sang, " Sin? Sweet Bird,'' and " Loves Request" in a most finished manner. Mrs Payne sang, "Kathleen" and "Daddy," and was in excellent voice. Messrs Vernon Coney, and his brother, Barry Coney, grave somr> violin and piano duets in grand style. Mrs McCombie ond Miss Coote grive great satisfaction in their piano duet " The Sultans Grand March," and Misses C'>ck, Snndsrrass, Robsnn, and otlipr ladies, with Messrs Littlejohn and Silcocks rendered several beautiful glues. Mrs Edwards sang " When Sparrows Build," and with Mrs Phillips sang " Come o'er the mnonlit sea." Mr Erlw.uds santr, " The Tar's Farewell" and "The Gallants of England," and responded to an encore to each. The Rev Mr Evans occupied the chair, and Rev Mr Katterns returned thanks to the performers. The proceeds were about £15, over 200 people beinr present.
