(from ouk own correspondent. ) Wellington, 16. The Cold Duty Bin was tin-own' oat in tl.e Upper House co-day. A yi.ld at the rate of 4oz 13-1-vts 15grs of gold to the ton has been obtained from the hid. hundred w-ii^-ht of quartz sent to W-lliugsu.i la.t v».Jc by the shareholders of the, William Tell claim, Cedar Creek, Ros*-, and crushed by Mr Goidon, Inspec or of Mines. Tho metal is of good q-udity, being worth about „4 per oz. The atone was not' what is known as •' picked stuff," having been indi3crima^ely taken from a largo parcel from a winze. A piece of dark quartz selected hy Dr Hector, was analysed by that gentleman, and found to contain gold yielding at the rate of lßoz to the ton. Politics have now almost wholly lost their relish and people are almost b 'ginning to forget that Parliament is sitting. There will of course be one more roll up to hear th'- Public Works Statement read, and that over the session may be said to be ended. By the way, people are Wondering greatly why the Statement 19 solong withheld. The excuse urged until a day or two ago was that it could not be delivered until the North Island Trunk Railway Committee had sent in their report. The committee.--, report has now been iv the h.nds of the Government for some time, but still the Statement is not fo'/th joining, Unless the Government mc.ke some intimation before :ho c"d of the week the Opposition will make the ma Iter a rally call, and tt;ke some action.
