MINING DEVELOPMENT.
I hold identical views with Mr. Collins in that the auriferous and other metalliferous wealth in the Te Arolia district have been barely scratched. Refractory ores, however, require special processes to break up the chemical combination and liberate the gold from the other minerals. But as in Africa., Australia, America and other countries, 00 to 0;"» per cont of the gold is recovered from the refractory concentratcs, why can't we do the same in New Zealand? We have millions of tons of low grade 01-0 011 the Hauraki Peninsula containing gold, silver, iron pyrites, copper pyrites and telhirides, and they are all amenable to modern treatment. C. SCOTT, F.C.1., (Eng), etc., Te Arolia Prospectors' Association.
