AUCKLAND MIMING RETURNS.

[Univjd P&ess Association.]

Auckland, Jan. 31

During the year 1911 returns from the gold mines in the Auckland district represented a total value of £1,----137,985, a decline odf £197,716 on the output recorded for 1910. The decrease is accounted for by the unsatisfactory nature of the development of the- Waihi mine, necessitating a curtailment in the quantity of ore treated, this resulting in a decrease of £252,-150. The returns from the Waihi Grand Junction, Talisman and New Zealand Crown mines, show a substantial increase, and this materially lessoned the, deficit caused by the falling off from the Waihi mine.
