Another Smelter.

A i'athnt for a new smelter for the extraction of gold and silver from their ores uaa \ osterday appUed for by Messrs Hunt and Carbon. Both these pentlemen should know the requirements and difi'icultios to be mot, Mr Hunt bein^ the well known nil way contractor, and Mr Cfi>sur, th« senior master of our (j rammer i^choo!. The very f..ct of the La Monte furnace having been a failmo, has evidently •ifVudod those gyntlemon with a ktiuwlud^e of the ppecia! points thatneedod attention. There can be no question that any proce-^that williecjver the aim 0.-t in calculable woaUh t'nat is at present locked up in the Colvilio Peninsnl.i will be eagerly taken ami sjiipht after by the people of Auckland. CTntortuna*-ely the public have, and not without reason, become somev.h"\i apatnetic in the matter of mines and mini >^. But It miiso be recollected thai their apathy lias been brought about by wry biifficient caueoji. Ko venture could h ive been more carefully puffed than that oi Mr Li Monte, and the Auckland an I Thames public mpportod it consistently up to the final fi.bc ), -which nieant ,cc, c c ioub lo^-- and inconvenience tr> many. Vv'o nndcMand that Ale cj rd Hunt and CaioOf, itiiend crcctinjj: a iii.il plxnt that will smelt parcpls of 1 cwf", so ihat the statement of co^taud suiiabiliCy to the most refractory ores i'a:i be verified by the public.
