BIG PROSPECTING PROPOSAL.
(By Telegraph.-Own Correspondent.)
THAMES, this day.
M.r J. W. Walker this afternoon moots the representatives of the Thames Miners' Union to discuss and ascertain the opinion of that body on his proposal to" the Government-- to take up ground east of Moanataian slide, on special conditions, and endeavour to raise a large sum for prospecting and development work. I saw Mr Walker to-day, and he says that so far Government has declined to introduce the special legislation required. If the land be granted, and he hopes the influence of Ministers will be in that direction, Mr Walker speaks of raising from one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand for prospecting work. This would be by means of tunnels through country connected with .air shafts, at a depth of a thousand feet, so as to prospect the ground in a double manner.
