THE LA MONT GOLD-SAVING PROCESS.

A week or two ago we informed our readers that an arrangement had been made between Auckland capitalists and Mr. J. D. La Monte, an American gentleman in possession of a patent right for an improved process of goldsaving, for the use of that process in New Zealand. In carrying out this agreement, Mr. La Monte left here for Sydney, for the purpose of forwarding the plant and skilled workmen to set on ' foot the new process of gold-saving at the Thames. Yesterday Mr. Saunders received ft cable message from Mr. La Monte, in which it was stated that the smelting plant would be shipped by the next steamer from Sydney, two weeks hence. The plant may therefore be expected in Auckland in the course of three weeks from the present time. The erection of the plant, and making the other arrangements for giving the new process of gold extraction a fair trial, is not expected to take more than two months, so that in the course of three months from the present time the new process should be in a fair way of being in nraotical operation. The working of Mr. La Monte's process will be closely watched, and if in actual practice it gives the results expected of it, it will prove a great boon to this portion of the colony.
