THE CROZETS.

, On the voyage of the steamship Australasian from London to Melbourne a call was , made at the Crozet Islands, and a search' made for- shipwrecked castaways. ~i Cap--tain Simpson 1 ; reports that "heJ cruised along close to Hog Island' arid -after-; wards visited Possession Island, but; saw no . signs .of human life at either place. Ther huts -on Hog Island, containing provisions for the use of any shipwrecked' people making the group, ''could be clearly made out from the steamer with the aid- of marine glasses. ! > k i

owners have decided to erect an extra pan which will be placed in position during the week. Of the results of the mine itself, which is private property, I am unable to speak, although I am given to understand that they are entirely satisfactory. The plant will be engaged during next week in crushing a parcel of 30 tons for Heitman and party, tiibuters in the Woodstock. The Cassel Gold Extracting Company have a large consignment of plant, etc:, in Paeroaand to land, which it is to be hoped will be all safely carted to its destination before the roads get cut up by carting in wet weather. Ritchie and party are making fair progress with their drive of 200 feet but are in rather difficult country at present, Driving and ; cross-cutting, etc., is being rapidly pushed ahead in other portions of the mine. Rickey is carting the timber away from the Paeroa wharf as fast as possible. At Waitekauri the Mining Inspector is making n raid on unmanned grond. The Australian Company and Mr Kerse}* Cooper are steadily pushing on their works. At Waihi there is nothing fresh to report. Much inconvenience isbeingexperienced I>3' the teachers and pupils of the Paeroa School, where there are nearly 170 children on the roll, and only accommodation for 120. The attendance very often cooies to over 130, and this lack of accommodation makes matters very unpleasant for all concerned. The Board of Education is being petitioned for an increase of accommodation. I understand that the Ohinemuri Racing Club come out of their last meeting with assets of about £30. The Land Court now sitting at Shortiand, Thames, is expected to adjourn to Ohinemuri in about six weeks time. The natives will have little money to spend.
