MINING.
The Chalto Creek dredge is still working towards the Moutere side of tho claim, and will shortly be clear of tailings and get on to virgin ground. The diverting of the river has given, a little trouble. There was no washup last week.

The Cromwell Argus states that Mr Charles Allan has been appointed master of the Metallic dredge. - Mr C. Curtis, of Stillwatcr, luia been appointed dredgemastcr of. the Grey River dredge, and has taken charge in that capacity.—Grey Rivor Argus.
According to the Nortli Otago Times, tho preliminary trial of the Maerewhcnua dredge has revealed the fact that there is rough pold as well as fine in the river bed of the Macrcwhenua River. This disposes of the belief that the gold would all bo fine, and much of it loat.

Tenders are invited for the construction of machinery for a dredge for the Pile Up Gold Dredging Company.
Tenders are invited-for the purchase of the Klondyke dredge, now lying at Matakanui, and for a water race about two miles in length. At a meeting of shareholders in tho Miner's Lead Gold Dredging Company, held on tbo 17th inst., the resolution authorising the winding up of the company, passed at a previous meeting, was confirmed. Messrs T. S. Graham and St. J. Branigan were apnointed liquidators. The results of the boring "on this company's claim (situated on the North Beach, five miles from Westport) showed that out of 15 samples six contained sufficient gold for tho ground to become payable, but the other nine fell short, so that the general average was not sufficient to warrant the working of the claim. The secretary of the Leviathan Gold Dredging Company has received a wire from the dredgeumster.as follows:—" Smelted .-old, 490z lGdwt."
Tho Secretary of Hie Wakamarina Golden Point Gold Dredging Company reports that tho pontoons have been successfully launched.

LADY ROXBURGH GOLD DREDGING COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir.,—l quito agree with tho suggestion of "Shareholder" in to-day's Times in regard to purchasing the New Alexandra dredge. It is about time something was done with our claim—either call lenders for a dredge or liquidate.' If tho claim is as good as it is reputed to be, then go ahead. This dillydallying month after month disgusts investors, and keeps them for investing in other ventures. Tho excuse has been that prices were too high, but this cannot apply now, as the foundries are slacking off.
Hoping that one of the directors will find, timo to explain the 23osition of the company through your columns, —I am, etc., ' Disgusted Shareholder.
