HUNTLY MINES.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —In your Huntly correspond dent's notes, published on the 20tli I inst., 3'our correspondent has made a I statement • Which I am very sorry to say cannot be borne out by facts, viz., 'that the mines in the district are i working full time.' • The statement :to say the least is misleading. I don't j know whether your correspondent has ! erred through ignorance or -whether there is 'some ulterior motive in view, : but such a statement is liable to cause an influx of. miners, who, per- , haps, can ill afford the expense eni tailed on them to come here. I don't I think the average earnings per man for the past two months has exceeded the sum of £ 1 7/G per week, deducting expenses, such as powder, fuse, lights, tools. —I am, etc., .:.--: MUSTER.
