The plant is now working smoothly, and from 200 to 300 tons extra eliouid in future be treated each tnouth. The Wtilhi Silvertod return for tho past i&ohth. from 780 tons crushed was 40Goz, valued nt £801 [lie). High-grade ore is still in the kilus. Intelligence received in Auckland statca that the London market is at present without any aniioatiori; No initnediata revival iti looked .for. Its present condition is attributed to the uncertainty regarding the Presidential election in the United States and to the unsettled state of affairs in Turkey. Our Roxburgh correspondent writes :—"Dredging operations hare come t>> a standstill for a day or two, as the rivfir rose on Tuesday and Wednesday night about 10ft or 12ft. The water began to' subside about 8 o'clock tliis (Thursday) morninj, and by the evening the river had fallen quite 2ft."
