The damage done by fire to the New Zealand Express Company's stables at Dunedin is estimated at between £7000 and £8000. Sixteen drays and two furniture vans in yards were destroyed.

Brown, Matemateonga, was destroyed by fire the other day. The building was unoccupied, and insured, but the amount does not cover the owner's loss. Mr H. O. Woolmer, manager of the Waitekauri Extended Goldmining Company, whose unfortunate experience was recorded in Wednesday's issue, is a brother of Mr A. S. Woolraer, of this town.
