Mr Gilbert, dentist, is now in Reef ton, and may be consulted in the premises known as the Exchange Rooms, Broadway. We notice that Mr H Lloyd ia once more installed as mine host of the Umpire Hotel Black's Point, We publish in another column the report of a meeting of Dunedin shareholders in the I ankey's Creek Cement Company, Hud append to it the reply which has Bincd' been forwarded by the Reefton ' directory. The victory of the Gem in the Sydney Metropolitan Stakes yesterday, will probably be a surprise to many. First Demon was the favourite up to the last moment at 6to 1.

The Homeward Bound Company, Boatman's, are securing the services of one of the • most experienced diamond-drill workers in Victoria. The gentleman in question has for some years been working the diamond-drills of the Victorian Mines Department, and is therefore thoroughly qualified for the work. Immediately on his arrival here the drill will be set to work on the Homeward Bound lease. The Dargaville- Atkinson Enquiry Committee have closed their investigations, and yesterday laid their report before the House. They have found that Mr Dargaville's charges of corruption against Major Atkinson are without the slightest foundation. Ab the report is to be considered at the next sitting of the House the whole question will in all probability be re-opened. The sufficiency of the evidence taken at the enquiry will, rt is understood, be questioned, as also the constitution of the Committee, so that the debate is likely to be an angry one. The Globe battery was kept going until about half-past five on Saturday evening, at which hour the stampers recorded 75 strokes per minute, with the ports half open, which fully meets the stipulations of the specifications. Much praise is due to Mr M'Griggor, the representative of the i contractors, under whose supervision the whole of the machinery has been erected, for the able manner in which he has performed the work. The aerial tramway is being erected under the direction of Mr } M'Pherson, and it is to be. hoped that at the close of the present week, when the works are expected to be but of hand, he will have established an equal claim to approbation. For close confinement, want of air, sedentary habits and brain and nerve tire, trust in Hop Bitters. Bead
