MINING.
A SUCCESSFUL ALLUVIAL COMPANY By Telegraph—Press Association. Westport, Last Night. The Carthage Gold Mines, Limited, a small company, formed here some time back, has successfully solved the problem of working our low lying beach gold leads. The mine has been making a steady profit of £l2 to ill 3 per day, and it is confidentially predicted that the whole of the beaches from Westport to Ngakawa will now be worked on their principle, which is the invention of a local man. The fact that these sands can be raised and treated for a penny per yard is a factor in gold mining that must give the whole of this West Coast a fillip, as there are many miles of similar beaches from Cape Farewell to Jackson's Bay. TE LLUR TDES PPvOPRIETAItY. The following is the mine manager's report for the week ending November 2: —The main low level crosscut has..been advanced 14 feet during the week, and the country is still very bard to work. Consequently progress has been slow. A contract has been let for 200 feet of driving, and the contractors will commence on Monday, November 4th.
