OHINEMURI.

[From Our Own Correspondi.m.'

WAiHr, this day. Mautiia Extended.—Work in this mine ,j was resumed this morning. Although thow .'.l is an abundance of crushing dirt to prose,' { the water supply is not equal to fivo head of stampers, and nothing ehortoftjj heavy downpour of rain will meet tho battery j requirements. Meantime, the mannger will 'J confine his operations to driving nortli"| and south on the reef from a point alwul l> foet down the winze which was sun k benoaft :| the low lovel, and from which some good stono was obtained. SiiVERTON. — The work of einkiriL. tin winze on the footwall portion of the cnw, J lode was started yesterday, and judging;-! from present appearances there is overy d| probability of the stone improving t" quality as depth is attained upon it. Kaeangahakb, tfaie da/i | J ji The great drawback to the mccow *!jj this dietrict is want of a tramway or road; ■% accommodation through the WbatawwHl Gorge. When here, some months ago, thl; J Hon. Mr Larnach promised a eubaiifr [ of £3,000 in aid of the work, provided Iβ the local body subscribed £1,500, makinglS j total of £4,500, which would be to carry a road through as far as the Cwmgjß Mine. Unfortunately, the infant Countj,;.f of Ohinemuri is not in a flourishing fi n i*'.Jl cial condition, and if owners of "'"■■''jJf located on either eido of tho propocod IJno ™. s «| tramway are desirous of availing tliemMlviß;® of the Government subsidy it will M'Jjj necessary for them to put their nanl ! 6 j£i™J their own pockets and subscribe tOTtaw || that end.

Donedin, this day. j Proposed Appointment of Head Ins; of Mines. A deputation from the University '■ 'j;' 1,----cil waited on Mr Larnach yesterday re W School of Mines. They pointed out Usst since the withdrawal of the subsidy of £500, matters were not in ever? satisfactory state. Mr Larnach made* j suggestion that the Council should trans* ;=i Professor Ulrich's services to tho .^* o j5 E i|fS inent, who would have him station , -] «• Wellington as Head Inspector of Mincfc j» j Department to be under the MinislerfljtM day. Perhaps schools of mines wouuiM started in other places like the Thainee,.t»| i Government to subsidise £1 for overj H subscribed. Professor Ulrich could dme , j the central Mining Museum, and l»e"? 'j vices would be available when rcqnu*" i Tho Council agreed to the idea, aim«™ Minister promised to submit "the matterW'| tho Cabinet. ' j -
