A NUCLEUS OF DISEASE. THE COMMON COLD OR CHILL.

SPENCER VINCENT'S BENJAMIN GUM IS A PROMPT CURE. Most ills that flesh is heir to have their beginnings in a common cold or chill, and when a cold is promptly treated .. ••( cured, it may bo safely assumed that a seno., illness haa been averted. Fevers, Consumption, Pneumonia, Pleurisy, Bronchitis, Diphtheria, and many other diseases first appear in the form of a cold, which may fairly be described as a nucleus of disease. A cold is always worthy of respect, and it is never safe to neglect oneSPENCER VINCENT'S BENJAMIN GUM has the reputation of curing Coughs, Colds, boro Throats, and Inflammation of the Lungs, a reputation which is endorsed by the statements of people with whom you are acquainted. Mr W. B. Wright resides at St. Albans lane. Christchurch. His statement is:— "Your famous Benjamin Gum is well worth the money I gave for it. It cured me of a bad cough in less than no time.

terial, cost £5000. The boat was * marvel for the time and place. Hei pontoons which are of steel, with watertight -,omparfcmente, are 90ft long by 20ft over all. The bucket ladder is 65ft long, and is capable of dredging to y depth of 40ft or 45ft. The bucket* are of four cubic feet capacity, capable of raising 100 cubic yards per hour, at the rat* ot 12 buckets per minute Engines f boiler, .winches, and all the geai on board were furnished and made by Kincaid and 21' Queen, after their own designs. i The dredge started work in 1890. and has been kept going ever since, with the exception of a short time ago, when the boiler and engine, which had run their course, were replaced by a 10 horse-power «ngine by Marshall and Sons and a 14 horse-power boiler by Sparrow, «* Dunedin. _ 1 The gold-saving 1 apparatus consists ct- .- ' box, 60ft long bj 4ft wide, with return boxes, and tables *Bft square, the water fo k ■which is supplied by a lOin Tangye pump. The greatest depth that has been worked is 20ft, but the average worked at present is from 12ft to 14ft, while the face takes 5s 600 ft wide, which takes in all the payable gold. The gold is fino, but easily saved. The top tumbler is driven b,> bevei geov, which answers very well.- the shaft of the tumbler being 6^in* in diameter Mi- Wm. . ER«dpath is dredgemaster, and Vindly ' showed me over the dredge, which is kept 5n first-class order. Being a blacksmith by trade, and having had a good deal of experience amongst machinery. Mr Redpath is well fitted for the position he fills. In view of the great quantity of ground to work, a second dredge was put upon the claim but the company decided to sell it about a year and a-half ago to the Golden Shore party, working s> claim near the lower end of the valley. The returns, yielded are, therefore, foi one dredge only now, as from two dredges heretofore. The iaverage yield of gold has run about- 240 a $>er week since Mr Redpath has taken charge of the claim. In spite of the great quantity of ground turned over, there is still a good many years of profitable work jahead of the company. The total output of gold since starting work in 1890 is 91270z, worth £35,107— that is, up to December 31. 1898, up to which date £4800 were paid in dividends. Since that date about 500oz of gold have been obtained, which no doubt yielded some ■ further divisions of profit. i
