THE MOKAU GOAL FIELDS.
[by telegraph.— association.] Bkcjnnkrton, Tuesday. At a meeting of the Miners' Association to-day the lease of Jones, of Mokan, to the Association was submitted, and favourably received, and a committee was appointed to draw out a prospectus, and urge certain amendments in the draft of the lease. These alterations refer principally to the surface rights. There seems to be an idea that with a full annual output of 50,000 tons at Is royalty per ton, equal to £2500 yearly, the company should have the right of pasturage, and be better protected in timber rights. The committee have met, and, in conjunction with Mr. Guinness, solicitor, acting for them, will communicate with the lessors. The prospectus will be issued at an early date.
Yesterday was the birthday of Edison, the famous inventor of the phonograph. He is 47 years of age. • Forty-two entries have been received for Christchurch regatta on February 17.
