MINING REGULATIONS.
THE QUESTION OF WATER POWER
[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, July 20. A combined deputation of members representing mining districts will wait upon the Hon. It. McKenzie, Minister of Mines, this week, to urge that water power regulations be amended.- It is suggested by some of those who will form the deputation that the charge of £l4 13s 2d per head per annum for water, which the Government will not pay a farthing to collect, is altogether too exorbitant, especially as many thousands of heads of water are running to waste on the' West Coast. Some modification in the restrictive nature of the regulations is also desired. The Hon. A. R. Guinness and Messrs Colvin and Seddon, M.’sP., will represent the West Coast at the deputation, and Mr. W. H. Herries, M.P., -will speak on behalf of the northern goldfields. “ _____
