i The first shipment of silver bullion, the proceeds of ore treated*'.by the luxivintion process, has been despatched' from tlife Broken Hill Proprietary mine, and co.ntains 40,0000 zof silver. The" returns frrini this source are kept separate from the ordinary smelting returns, and as soon as the plant is complete and in full running, returns of the quantity of ore, treated and the amount of silver obtained therefrom, with cos* of treatment per ton, will be published regularly. Although the plant in still incomplete, the process is, I understand, thoroughly demonstrated to be a great success.—Australian Mining Standard. The N. Z. Times sums up the position wijli respect to the recent division thus : “Had the Government been wide they* would have kept their member in band, so as to crush the Opposition overwhelmingly at any division whenever they chose to ask for that arbitrament, but being careless they gave the enemy his chance of retiring with the smallest possible loss. The Opposition leader lias got the most out of a difficult position, the troops having got away with the least possible loss. There ’s an end of the general action. The regular battle lias been replaced by a series of skirmishings, which mean nothing but swelling the volumes of Hansard, and talking to the country ” Mr J, Hart, storekeeper, of Te Aroha. has had to succumb and his establishment is now closed. This has been brought about owing to heavy losses in business, and inability to obtain payment of several la’-ge Rtrnis due to him, Mr Hart during Ins seven or eight years residence in this district (first at Waiorongomai and latterly At Te Aroha) lias worked hard early and late, is well known as a straightforward man in business, and certainly deserved success. General regret is felt and expressed at bis being unable to carry on. Finding, however, lie could no longer do to satisfactorily, be did the straiglitforwanl tiling by assigning all he possessed over to his creditors ; and purposes leaving the. district.:. We, are glad to hear he has already been offered, a good billet elsewhere, and trust he will soon be'able to start again on bis own account, and have 'better success next time. ■■

The adjourned meeting of the proposed Wnihon ‘ Creamery’-. Committee was held at Te Aroha on. Saturday evening ; Mr R. Purr in the chair. The 'Chairman read a letter lie had received .from Mr Henry Reynolds (of Reynolds and Co.) dated Jime 30th, replying to one from the Chair man inviting him to come toTe Aroha ami make preliminary arrangements with a view to- the ejection of a ‘ creamery.’ In his letter Mr Reynolds expressed-regret that in consequence of his leaving for England in a week or so. his .firm would be unable to do anything in connection with carrying on any new factories for the coming season, having no one to take charge of and arrange the starting of anew place. On his 'return from his trip Home, however, he hoped to branch out and secure a much larger quantity of milk, etc. lie concluded by expressing a hope that Ins being unable to at present entertain the proposal nude to him would net. deter those taking action in the matter from pushing ahead with the erection of a factory as proposed. After some discussion it was resolved that the Committee purchase the site of one acre offered for sale by Government at the junction of the Cdimetery and- Morrlnsville roads. It was further resolved to write the Auckland Dairy Association asking if they would erect and run a ‘ creamery ’ at Wailiou -on terms similar to those .given by Messrs Reynolds anil Co. . .
