It is readily\nunderstood that large sums of\nmoney must bo employed in opening\nup hydraulic mines and putting thom\nIn suoh shape that large quantities of\ngravel can bo put through sluices and\nthe gold extracted at a comparatively\nsmall expense por yard, Utider favorable conditions largo banks of gravel\noan bo mado to pay well for\nworking that carries only a small\namount of gold, say, 1 to 10 cents per\noubio yard, Uut lho great question\ncomes in, how much does it oust to\nopon up such properties, make dltobos,\nput on pipo, Humes, oto? In mauy\ncases it onuts into tho hundreds of\nthousands, ht the case of lho Cariboo\nHydraulio it has cost lo perfect Its\nsplendid system over (H,200,OQO| Ihe\nCariboo Gold Fields, at Harkerville,\nsomething liko $500,000) the Hydraulic\nal Horsolly, the Miocene ami Lho Wnnl\nHydraulio from 8100,000 to 8000,000\noach, Itis not easy then to enlist\ncapital to open up mines unless you\ncan llrsl make it very plain that you\nhavo \u00bb paying proposition, thon it is\ncomparatively easy. Ills not diflloult\nif everything is favorable and the con\ndii inns are such that an outlay of a few\nthousand dollars will determine absolutely whether or not a bank of gravel\nwill repay tho investment of half a\nmillion, Then why not grant favorable\nterms to prospectors for, say, four or\nlive years to prospect properties, tho\nparty securing suoh a lease beiug required to do a certain amount of work\nthe first year and an increased amount\neaoh year unlil he is satisfied either\nthat Lho ground is good or otherwise,\nitli tho assurance that if ho desires\nho can secure tltlo absolute to tho\nground, fl crown grant? While tho\nmiuo is boing worked tax the output us\nis now done, aud not tho improvements,\nand when lying idle tux Lhe improvements, In this manner thero wiil be\na constant income to tbe government.\nAfter tho mine is worked out no miner\nwill want the property nor will Ihey if\nthero is uo prospect of its proving a\npaying proporty, consequently tbe laud\nwill be sold for taxes and if desired,\nthe crown can again acquire title.\nIn this manner a bona lido miner\noould secure title to his property that\nwould enable him to go to capitalists\nuot familiar with our complex system\nof leasing, and much moro readily enlist their linauciul assistance. It is\nvery easy to say to a capitalist, \"the\nleases are all right\" but you can not\ngot thom to tako tho samo view of\nthings that thoso who aro familiar with\nmining rules in this province do.\nFunds could thus bo moro easily obtained to prospect ground, knowing\nthat if proven valuable a titlo oould bo\nobtained. It would prevent the taking\nup of large tracts of ground for speculative purposes, as is now boing done,\nand in many cases without much being\ndone.\nWe believe a law framed something\naftor tho foregoing suggestions could\nbe mnde that would bo of much assistance to miners, and ono that would increase instead of lessening tho revenues.

This is principally due to thecompactnessand lmnd\ninesn of tho winches for simplicity of\nthe machinery, which is almost automatic in its working. In comparison\nwith this we have the Dunedin Harbor a large dredge made ou tho usual\nharbor-dredge typo. It taken eight\nmen per shift to work it, and Uio average cost of dredging a cubic yard of\ndny and delivering it inlo tlie hopper\nbilge is :iHid. lt is difficult to mako\na fnir comparison, seeing that tho gold-\ndredgo is kept running utmost continuously, while the harbor dredge is only\nworked during daylight, which neces-\niules considerable lost time; but, us\nagainst this, with every cubio yard\nor gravel lifted by the gold-dredge\nthere is about 7 tons of water liftod to\n\u25a0\u25a0rash it, ami tbo power absorbed in\nlifting the wnler is fully SO percent of\nthe total power exerted by tbo dredge;\nand also, tbo expense of fuel and repairs In tbo out of the way up-country\ndistricts are far in excess lo town\nprices. This leaves the comparison\nstill very much iu favor of the gold-\ndredge.\nDredging iu New Zealand is attracting attention alt over the world. Tho\nauthor's llrm is continualy being called\nupon by persons coming to Dnuediu to\ninquire ahout cr investigate tho matter.

California\nis profiling by our New Zealand ex\nporienoes, for a gentleman from Now\nZealand is now building bucket-dredges\nwhich, from all accounts, are doing\nfairly well.\nIu New South Wales sixteen miles of\nclaims on tho Mttcquario river have\nh'.-eu taken taj* for dredging, aud already ono dredge is in courso of con\nelruotion, and fivo more are being arranged for, lo work theso claims.\nDredging for goltl by means of sue-\nUon-drBilges has also been tried to n\nconsiderable extent in New Zealand,\nbut bus proved a failure iu every case.\nThero bavo been sixteen BUOtion-\ndredges put upon different claims, including two fine plants sent out by\nMessrs. J, II. ffwynne, of London, and\nin no caso havo tbey proved profitable investments. Thoro is a considerable amount of wear aud tear on the\npumps and tho power required to|drive\ntbem is so great that tbo fuel account\nis out of all proportion to tho amount\nof work done. In hard wash, whero\ntho best gold in generally to bj found,\ntho suction pump appears to bealmost\nuseless, for it will not lift tho wash\nwithout some kind of a cutter lo dis\nturb it, aud so far nd cutter lias yet\nbeen mado in Now Zealand that will\nstand in tho wash of gravol.

Subsequent events have\nshown us that that impression was, to\nput it mildly, erroneous, However,\nthis was not the only impression formed at tho early stages of thc game and\nsinoe proved Incorrect. When tho second contingent was called for the\nstem realities of the gamo wero more\napparent. The power of Britain bad\nbeeu defied and her forces checked on\nmore than one bloody field. It was\nshown lhal the strength of the enemy\nhad beeu greatly underestimated, tbat\nIhelr aimnuicuthad been underrated,\nand that modern weapons, when used\nby a brave nnd skillful foe, had completely changed the possibilities of\ndefensive warfro.
