MINING
The Rise and Shine No. 1 dredge worked the usual cut last week, getting fairly good prospects on the east side. Thd- western portion was poor, and part of it was too deep to be reached by the buckets. The bottom was stiff clay, carrying a tight wash in some places. No, 2 dredge worked on a clay bottom with some wash on the east side, giving fair prosEects. The other side continued poor, ut the ground was not as deep as it had been. An Auckland message states that the Waihi return is £16,504, from 10,080 tons of stono.
