WORK RESUMED *AT 'HUNTLY MINES. [Per Press Association.] v ■ Auckland, November 2. Work was resumed at the Huntly mines this morning with “permitted” explosives, a supply of which arrived from Australia last week. Fifty men went into Ralph’s mine, where they are engaged principally in clearing away the debris resulting from the explosion in September, and about 210 resuming ordinary mining operations in the extended mine. The latter found themselves considerably handicapped by the safety lamps, which are now compulsorily used throughout these mines, and each of which has about half a candle-power, giving considerably less illumination than the old naked light. It is expected that the output of the mines will regain normal as the men become accustomed to the feebler illuminant.
