The mere act of hurriedly bringing liim to tho surfiico in the cago in an upright position was often sufficient to deprive the "unfortunate man of an.v possible chaiico thoro might othorwiso have beou of saving his life."

At the Pat-roa Warden's Court on Thursday tbo Warden, speaking on matters that- wire., likely to bo discussed at tho Conference of Wardens at Wellington,, said ihiu ho considered that evoryono who held an interest in a mining claim should be on the register.
