A Mining Expkrt.—Mr McOonnell, the expert connected with the Cassell ttold saving process, arrived at Paeroa on Monday last, witli three assistants. They came from Glasgow via, .London, per s.a. Tainui. Theiv process is something similar to the chlorination process with this difference. Instead of the gold being collected by a solutiou of chlorine from tho crushed ore, a solution of cyanide of potassium is used. Thie is said to be far more efficient. Mr McConnell will aa yet m,t make any pledges a3 to what percentacto he can oxtract, but appears very hopeful that he will be able to save at least 75 per cent., the percentage saved by him from the sample of Crown ore usnt to the Glasgow Exhibition.
