OUR MINES. —: — «t» SMILE OF FORTUNE. The contractors for the water supply .; across the river to the battery are making good progress, and expect to have the whole finished in three weeks from this. The pipes used were formerly utilised in ■••- connection with the water supply of the Prince Alfred battery. New tramways have been laid down connecting the mine with the battery, and very shortly the tributers will be able to enter upon a season of remunerative work. RADICAL. Both parties of tributers are getting out payable stone. GOLD RETURNS. Uncle Tom.—White and parly have finished crushing for the yield of loz 12dwts gold.

(To"the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sic, —Again the unfortunate shareholders of the Thames have been bamboozled by the Auckland mining ring. I refer to the sale of the Caledonian. For some time past the outside shareholders (I amongst the number) have understood that the directors intended buying in the mine, and up to yesterday shares were in deoiand at a very fair price, and not to be had. One vof the Company's directors was here, and this probably heightened the delusion. We now find we have been grossly deceived, and there is no show of redress.—l am, &c, J. E. G.

Oitb telegrams re the sale of the Te Aroha lands seems to reflect on the Thames people for apathy displayed in not seeking to purchase the land they have been so long crying out for. The true facts of the case are that the land is badly situated and is not suitable for small holders, one,of the objections being that thereus no timber. Mimebs in the Coal Pit Heath mine, Greymouth, have got notice of a reduction of sixpence per ton in the getting price. Miners consider the present price too low, especially as regular work cannot be depended on.
