Woodstock. — It is now definitely decided to give the furnace a month's trial run, in order to use up the material, flux, lime, &c., now in bund. Mr Jones, the smelting expert, who has received, I am told, a refresher of retainer in ord«r to keep him about the place, h« « received instructions to proceed to Kara.ngaha.ke mi Saturday. It is tstated on good authority that the Woodstock people have lost a very valuable portion of their reef (the Maria}, situate in a claim once called the Loamington, but since amalgamated with tho Woodstock. In the confusion that ensued upon Mr R. K. Davis 1 bankruptcy, this piece of ground was sold by tho Official Assignee to a smart Ohinetuuii miner, who knew wall what he was doing. The Quartz Reduction Works (Limited) landed nearly 10 tons machinery, &c, ox P/vtiki at Paeroa yesterday, including an enormous pelton wheel (the tnoter), and a lot of peculiarly shaped wheels, plates, ratchets, &c, that at present, and until wo are taught, to the outside barbarians aro things that "no fellah can understand." Mr Railley is* making splendid progress with the works, and the dam, water-race and building are being rapidly completed, that prince of foremen, the clerk of the weather, being propitious.
