THE MILLERTON MINE.

i'lora Inquiries made to-day, we juirn that instead of blowing: open the wall at the outlet, it has been decided as a safe rcourse to let the wattr out gradually. "Water through a Q-in pipe was liberated yesterday. It is anticipated that by the time the water has all escaped the necessary repair works outside the mine will be completed. Three shifts of six houri each are working "night and day- A ivigilant look-out is being) kept for any signs of -fife in the mine, but so far as it has been penetrated no signs of the fire liave been met with It is anticipated, that as a resuit of the flooring, the gear will require cleaning and repairing. The millions, of gallons of water poured irt naturally generated steam and when the mine was opened it poured out in a large volume.- ' •

In three weeks or a month, Ihe mine, all things being favourable, 'should be in full working order, but we would advise miners not to make ithcit way to Millerton until such time ■as it is definitely stated their services are required.— rTimes and Star.
