MINING SUMMARY.

There is absalutely notliini» new to report ?'?»» vanojß dredg(ing fi'ejck The working: tlcedgos continue their daily'round of Rold-jTiniiing, excepting whgn they have to •be stopped for overhaul. Necessarily the wear, tear of. dredging machinery is very hejivy/ and every dredge has to undergo periqdical overhaul. -The "West Coast dredges have tot the most . part heavy ground to",worf:, anil in consequence the wear .and tear is" heavier than on the Mplyneux. ■ Ayhere tight Ijouldery wash is encountered, as in some of the West Coast claims,'the 'sfraiii on the machinery is very gre.at( Altlip'ugh' ft dredge is a pwishahle machine, • the necessary' repairs most of. .the will last long enough to work-Q.ut\tfie .claims.. £he' life 6J s, dryland dredging .clajm is easily, calculated, tut in the .case pf the Molyneux riv'"r bed jup estimatp ban be jnede of She possible durar tipn of a claim..'. In some casps it lias been ascertained.,that q dredge waa working on a false botjijin, below yfjiieb'. .there'lies an ancient stritijnj of,gpluen 'gravel, and'wliich e.mucn njpre poworful m.achine wit!) longer bucket ladder will be required to .work. The v Molyheux and Eawaraii will probijbly bo payable dredging areas for the next halfcentury to come. '

The ■ discovery of gold-bearing quartz in Spu'tt) '''Canterbury. 14 miles, from'the little' fown'" of'"Winchester, is announced. Samples of. the !sfoap"sent to the Otigp ScKqol; of "Mines' gave satisfactory , results'! aiid'iri .consequence a claim 75 acres iii extent, has been "pegged off. Indications'of ctfpper' and" silver were also stated "to be found -in "the ' stone. Truly, the'mineral wealth of this country, is'hot known, a'rid jtho , ' auriferous area has never been geologically defined. Obviously oiiartz reefs are not'easy to discover. Occasionally an outcrop leads to' a valuable find, but for every place'where an outcrop reveals'the presence of V nuartz reef there must be hundreds ■where'hidden reefs occur , at a greate or less distance from the surface. ' • • •

; Although in the heyday of the early gold disooyeries, when" hardy diggers were flocking into • the country from other lands, pretty welt every accessible part of the country was visited and prospected, it is evident that the whole of the auriferous alluvium was not then discovered. Very little payable ground, inhere surface indications were-apparent, was missed, but there must be many deep leads which the early diggers either failed to discover or ignored altogether.' Occasionally de"ep ground is discovered which ■ proves the truth of this. Quite recently, according to the local paper, u. party■ near Cromwell hevo been sinking upon' an: old river bed, where they expect to strike it rich. The great Mplyneux River in past geologic ages has playod queer pranks, and seems to have loft its channel repeatedly for a new course. Wherever Hie old channel can be traced rich ground is p. oertainty. '. The Island Block gold beach is eeese in point, and there are ojher places between- plydc and Cromwell where an tincient river bed is supposed to exist. But it, taks papital to sink upon these deep. leads', 1 although when once their value is demonstrated the capita! will s'pon be fijrjhcoining. .The"terraces of thoKav/arau. too, ate attfactin? attention'., as go.od orotcl has been found in some of them thi; nyer. •As'a'matter ot fact, there is vet (i good opening for"syndicate prospecting, if only the capita) were forthcoming to put several likely places to a thorough test." "■, "' Sinefl th? d»te ."f our last summary there is not' muph to report concerning tbe Auckland goldfields. The New faalarit!
