NEW MACHINERY.
If the introduction of new machinery is to be taken as a criterion of advancement, say* the Chief Inspector of Machinery in his annual report, "then New Zealand" has had a prosperous year." During the last three .years the increase has, he says, been far above the average. Mining and dairying account* for most of the increase- Golddredge building has been especially brisk in the Otago district, and at the present tima over £100,000 is being laid out oa thie important industry. Toere is hardly a river or aJluvial flat in the whole of Otago without its gold-dredge. An outlay of £6000 or £8000 will provide a finstclass up-to-date dredge. Most of them are now. fitted with compound condensing engines and ladders for getting rid of tailing*.
