WAIORONGOMAI.

Waiorongomai, Tuesday. Mr Adams has forwarded to the Te Aroha Station, for transmission to Auckland, 50 bales of dressed flax. The mill is working night and day. The Waiorongouiai School Committee meeting, to have been held last Monday night, was adjourned, only a bare quoium being present.

Thursday. On Monday last two rock drills arrived here for the Te Aroha S. and G. M. Company. I understand thpy are to be used in the low level of the New Find. Messrs Purchas and staff have been engaged the last few days in making a survey on the line of reef from the old i " Stanley" claim to the New Find, Mr HowtU, the Te Aroh» S. and G. M. Company's manager, returned from Auckland on Tuesday last. Mr James • Orr is engaged carting limestone from the Te Aroha station to the Company's works, the stone is from Te Kuiti, in the King Country. There is nothing fresh to report at the Battery, thirty head are constantly going on New Find dirt, whilat the new ten head are crushing , silver ore from the Canadian. At the tailing plant the Boss pans were started agsin this morning, and the finishing touches are being put to the water-jacket furnace. The new elevator will be completed in a day or two. Mr James Ellery, one of the Company's staff, met with a nasty accident yesterday. He wasongaged coupling a shaft, one end of the shaft being suspended by a rope, when by some means the rope carried away, and the coupling which was some little distance away slipped down, and struck Mr Ellery a severe blow on the nos6, knocking him clean off his perch, the blow caused a nasty wound on the face and he will not be able to resume work for a day or two. . I regret to report that Mrs Robt. Guy, who left here some little time ago to get medical advice in Auckland, now lies seriously ill ; in fnct her illness has assumed such n serious aspect that Mr Guy has been hastily summoned to Auckland.
