TELEGRAPHIC. LATEST THAMES NEWS. SPECIMENS FROM THE BRIGHT SMILE. THE CALEDONIAN SPECIMENSTEALING CASE. THE SCARCITY OF COAL AND BLASTING POWDER. THE SHAREMARKET. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) GRAHAMSTOWN, Tuesday, 3 p.m.

A minbk, Henry Stead, was taken to the hospital this morning, suffering from a broken leg. ' More specimens have been found in the Bright Smile mine, In the Police Court this morning, John W. Jones and Thomas Quinn were brought up, chavged with stealing specimen-tailings from the Caledonian Company. After a long hearing the accused, upon the advice of counsel, pleaded guilty, and were summarily dealt with. Jones received sentence of six months' imprisonment ; whilst Quinn, upon the application of the police, was remanded for one week. A great outcry is being raised here by mining managers and others about the scarcity of blasting powder in the market, and the wretched character of the fuse that is supplied. A stoppage of work on the one hand, and serious accidents on the other, are threatened. The Tookey pumping-engine and the Waiotahi Association's crushing machine had to stop work —lacking coal. More specimens were taken out of the Caledonian mine to-night. The specimen crushing will commence to-morrow. The Manukau machine will stop working to-morrow morning for want of coal. The monthly crushing return shows that 975 tons of quartz were crushed during the month to a return of 1,4760z. of gold. The sharemarket is easier. Quotations remain about the same as yesterday. Bright Smile share closed — buyers at 355., sellers at 40s. Caledonian, £195.
