THE PROSPECT OF SETTLEMENT.
The masonry is beautifully laid nothing can be found fault with the construction: so perfect is it in every detail. Stone and mortar. and wood appear to have been used; the wood seems to be de caying in places but the stones are in perfect condition. The stones are not locally mude but are be- leved to be of a kind which for- raerly came from India.

LIFT ACCIDENT.
CHINESE SENT TO HOSPITAL
While white-washing the shaft of lift in China Building this morn- ing a Chinese was injured in the neck and taken to hospital. It is not at present known whether he is seriously hurt or not.
It appears that the unfortunate man was standing on top of the lift, which was moved upwards while he was white-washing the shaft, and eventually, the lift, operated by an- other man, reached the top floor.
In order to cause the lift to go higher than the top floor, to reach the roof of the shaft, extra current in required, and the painter, putting his head out of a ventilation open- ing, shouted for more current to be turned on so that he might reach
the roof.
