GREYMOUTH NOTES.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
GREYMOUTH, March 5. Good prowess is made in connection with the Ross Flat goldfields works, and it is confidently anticipated that actual mining operations will be commenced in about eight weeks' time. Great dissatisfaction exists at Knmara on account of the Government not going on with the water race across the Teremakau river. At election time it was announced that on Mr Seddon's representations the Government would undertake the work and the survey was immediately put in hand, but ' was sus- .. pended the day after the contest.. The Miehclites loudly. declared tha* a shameful electioneering trick had been perpetrated to hoodwink the electors into voting for the Government nominee. Kiimara promises to be tho seat of a lively contest on tho mayoralty, wherein all rivalry of the recent General Assembly election will be revived by reason of the contestants being two prominent ■ porters, one of Mr beddon and the othei of Mr Michel,
lhe steamer Hawoa is now but a shattered mass of ruin, and it is reckoned that with the first heavy freshlet in the river the remaining portion will disappear. '
