Apteb the adjournment of the Native Land Court to-day, at 1 o'olocki-a large meeting of natives ; took place, at whioh most of the chiefs of Ugati. Tamahera Ngatimaru took part, and it was unanimously agreed that all the Hauraki and Obinemuri tribes would vote for'Hamiora Mangakabia.

QeobOE , Macbab, a settler at Mangai'e, says an Auckland . telegram, whose \ three horses were destroyed in the agrarian outrages in the district, has now in addition to boycotting,' received a threatening letter through the post office, hinting at his contemplated asßaßsinalion.- , .

Some twelve months ngo, bur readers will perhaps remember, a piece of ground was taken up at Waiomo for silver prospecting by Captain Clayton^of Auoklarid. Galena was found, and a trial parcel which was sent to England for testing gave a;satisfactory result. Captain Clayton tried to float an English company, but the a:rangetnents fell through by some mean?. In the meantime, however, he kept on working the ground with one or two 'men, .both gold;and galena being found in the stone. We now learn on good authority that he has agreed with a Melbourne capitalist to work the ground together, and that he intends to have machinery put up at once. Our informant was unable to state whether the machinery was for extracting gold "o.t ei|ver, but ib will probably be the former, as for treating galena, the apparatus is expensive.:

Mb Ax<3Bß, who was sent out from Engkncl to'roport on, and take the management of, tho Kapanga! mine, Coromandel, has, we leariij recommendedl the shareboldrrs (o expend another £1500 in testing the blocks opened up, and Bhould thut be without result, to closa the mine. : When Mr Kenrick was. in Coro' mandel a short timo ago, Mr Alger,showed him a eketoh of a new gold saving machine which had been tried'witb Buccess, and which would be Buitablo for Te Aroha, "where the precious metal is so fine. The apparatus is simple and cheap, the coßt being under £200, and the" principle is that the finely cruahe'd quartz is forced upwards through a box of IquickrilTer, instead of being run over it cs in the method ordinarily in vogue here. :
