Yet I sss in your paper a report of the scores made by certain members, which would lead to the conclusion that the competition must have been brought off after all, weather or not, so to say.

The first men of a new mining-field in N.S.W. are generally timber-cutters, arved-out selectors and other bushmen, who take to mlalag under the blissful idea that a fortune within a year is an sholate certainty. They are the bolders of the "blocks pegged out for mile phrase always seen in the newspapers after every find of silver or gold. Within a few days two or the field. Sometimes their capital is absorbed three metropolitan boomlais make their way to in their fine clothes, and any other deficiency they make up fo cheek.

The boomsters return to Sydney and issue the balance to themselves paid up in, say, 195, od., and escape the remain- ing threepence by no-llability registration.

The thanks of the world are due to the H.S.W. maxesgers who write the mining reports, and to the papers that print them. Of one mine it was wald the other day that "the whip-home having become lame a new one has been obtained." A mine with two whip-horses must be a big thing. A hore-whip for the manager might also be obtained. Another manager concent's nothing from the pahile, as is shown by bis report: "Am using cow-hide backets in the winze and they are working well," There are the some managers who would basely keep cawalde buckets dark and so keep down the palce of scrip. There are several mines passing through what the bosses uniformly describe as kindly rock," which might do a service some day by falling in. Dividends may be looked for in a certain mine, for the manager has put his name to a report stating that the truck read has been laid and is working smoothly." It is all right when you have a smooth track road. Keeping the water down by one man at the windlass may be read as a neat com- pliment to the windlassman or that the mine is not a deluge. A certain manager having once reported that he had "difven eleven feet towards the Broken Hill lode," the directors requested tim to state how far the mine was away from that property whose lode they were all so anxious He, innocently replied "less than to strike, eve miles," This was too much. They removed the manager instead of shifting the mine. Sydney Bullia,
