WAIORONGOMAL

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Waiop.onoomai, Friday. Tk Aiioha P. nn<l G. M. Co. : ' The Com pan v have taken over the Alameda Special Claim, shaft and machinery, and -tiried bailing out the shaft on Weilnes day last- As scon ns the waW has been u-ot down sufficiently lo^v, I understand the pump and machinery will he removed, as it is not tht intention of the Company to further *ink this shaft at present. Tenders aie called for driving 15 feet in the Canadian end of the Company's gionnl. returnable to-morrow, Saturday Mr ITowi 1! (General Supeiinten lent.) :n: n company m it 1 Me^rs MeCosh Clark (hical director) and W. Jameson (man:u,'inu director from Melbourne), left here by bmrgv for Thames yesterday morning. T'ue new 14 inch pipe which has been laid down for som*» time past, and which is to convey the water for driving the Bos « pan plant, has now been conneetel with the large w t;r tntvk on the hill. After the water was turned on t> test the joints and scams, itwas observe 1 that considerable leakage was taking pi ice near the lower end of the piping wliich is covered up by fome six or seven feet of tailing. In order to remedy the defect the tailing? were removed, and when the pip 0 ? were laid lare it whs discovered that two or three holes had been cut in the piping. How this was done is a matter for conjecture. Further induction-* were made in the Company's staff yw.stcrday. I understand that with the exception of two, all thecirpenter^arenowdispensed with. Two of Ihe hands employed about the llittery we-e al-»o paid off. New Era Special Claim : — Operations will be at once started afresh in this mine by Mr Ferguson, who has already en- ! uaqed several miners. I understand the i timber to be used in the erection of the new machinery will be obtiitie 1 from Mr .1. Rowland of Waioronyomai. General News: The pirtnership hitherto existing under the name of Graves and Baskiville (butchers and ireneral storekeepers of this township), I am informed has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr B iskiville will continue to carry on the business in all its branches ; whilst Mr Graves will proceed to Waikato, where he purposes going m for farming Football : The all absorbing topic just now amongst the young men here is the approaching mat i h with theTeAroha footballers,to bo played at.Te Aroha to-morrow afternoon, on the old Te Aroha racecourse. The Wniorongomni men have been doing yood and steady practice of late, and 1 have no doubt will give a good account of themselves. They are brimful of winning, and I venture to say that Te Aroha will, have a hard nut to cruel? if they succeed in lowering the colours of the Waiorongomai boys. All arrangements in connection with the match are now completed. The team will leave here about 2 p.m. in a drag, anil busses will also be laid on for the conveyance of those who wish to see the match played. I hope to see a good turn out of both Waiorongomai and Te Aroha folks, to witness the first match of the season. Those selected to do battle for Waiorongomai are as follows : Fu'l backs — Messrs T. darken (captain), Goldsworthy, Margett.s, Yon .Stunner, Roberts ; half-backs — Messrs CahiM, .Jeffrey, J, Samson, J. Colley ; qmut'i'-backs and forwards — Messrs A. Samson, |{. Samson, Newman, Smith, Hill, and O'Connor.
