Tlie cxcejitionnlly prolonged drought, together with the unusually hot weather, taking into account that we ure now well advanced autumn, in very much against (jet-tint' forward with the required tillage ope.ru tiuas of the eoason, but on the other hand tkre the prospect of obtaining a better mid more regular rainfall throughout the later months of tho year.

Lust season for example, an usually wet January was fol-fowed by a drought that kept the grain, alter having, in an unsproutod state in the ground veil on toward June before sufiieiont ram tame to promote gvneral growth. While a good boaking ram is now badly wanted for grazing and tillage reasons alike, still, of two evils, it id better to have the rains a liitle late, providing they are well followed im altenvards tlirougiimit the winter and wVll on into the spring mouths, than to have tiitin early, only to be succeeded by droughts nurds. '1 he dry weather, if it has its drawback, is favorable for the vintage, which is now in full progress, and the re THE NEW MOON COMPANY. The aliove company on Thursday pays its "3rd dividend, and this will bring the total during tlie labt ix years up to 2 per sliarc, or iu all, In lSBs the mine was opened, and work was carried on with varying succeisn in the shallow lima from tlie smfiice to a depth of 210 feet until 1S7S. During that period 12,328 was paid away in dividends, while 3700 wad called up.

From 1S7S to 1800 the company had to eon-tend against a run of bad luck, and it was found necessary to make calls totalling up 7800. For the succeeding two years, the company, by working a run of spurs that had been opened up for it by tributes in the CSS feet level, at a distance of 100 feet bouth of the main crosscut, managed to carry on without call making. At thai time tlie workings at CSj fict were the deepest in the mine. The spurs gradually improved in their auriferous character and Monday Evening. Further depression awaited I.yell lie-Id mining companies, this section of the market closing unsteadily for the medium uud lower rated interests.

Hold companies experienced a quiet day, with a slightly improved feeling for several Victorian stocks. Uusincss took place in Victoria 3 per cent, stock at 103 5, and Metropolitan securities maturing lf03 closed worth 103. ill lots of Commercial, preference, bank of issue, brought 73; and others of Colonial, preference, 35. Melbourne Tramway were marketable for about 110; while iSilverton Tramway had trade to SSfl, and Uroken Hill Water Supply firmed at 21. Denton Hat, paid, found demand at the higher price of 23.

A dull market obtained with respect to 1'arrier silver shares, among which lilock 10 were weak at 05, and 1'roprietary had no better declared support than 42. Junction found inquiry at 33, and a buyer of Junction North offered 15'. Consequent upon London advices Mount Lyell eased to 13 4, but exchange subse qucutly took place for 13 6. North Mount Lyell brought 54; while Lyell Thur-sis fluctuated between 21, 230 and 240, and Mount Lyell Consols paid, had reported trade at 9 and 8,9. Crown Lyell found turnover of moderate extent in a fluctuating Change between 76, 87 and 7S.

Prince Lyell, iiid, eased to 24, and Great Southern Lyell finished at 11. Cole-brook sold as low as 15, but Hercules strengthened to 22, 0, and Kocky River were wanted for ti4 late in the day, as the paid serin had exchange at 11. The higher figure of 8 15 was offered for New- ljoch fyne. Long Tunnel Extended realised 20 10, and South German 8 7. Ucrry Consols Extended recovered to 300.

A fhnt put into it showed it to be of cnnsidi Table aurifer-'us value, much so that the proprietary of the mine intend embarking on extensive, work immediately.

At the Windmill Reef the drive on tlie eastern lode has been extended 30 feet, showing a face of stone 4 feet wide in the south drive, which is very highly laminated and showing excellent gold in the solid stone. This property gives promise of opening up woll, and.

with a battery on the ground, should soon be on the dividend list, there being a torge body of store work on. Moran's Luck are getting on well with their machinery erection, the battery being completed and only waiting for a supply of water to start crushing. At tlie 1:10 feet level good quality stone is being broken out; and at the 170 feet level there is a large reef of payable quality. The New Birthday Company are pro greasing well with the erection of pumping plant. The contractors for enlarging main shaft have cut down and timlered SO feet during the past nine days.

Preparations are being made fur putting in an 11-inch drawlift below the 200 feet level, when The Grand National Steeplechase meeting engaged tlie attention of the Y.K.l'. cuminitteo yesterday. The Wil-ImtiiRtown JtatiiiK Club Mas ovcr-lnnkcd in one instance in the allotment of date for the season, and the V.U.C. have given them one of their days in and made the big jumping July meeting a three days' fixture. Last season the club iSivc away in added money the sum of 2100 but this year, with the extra day, it is proposed to distribute a total of sova.

On the first day the Maiden Hurdle Kaee will be worth 200 instead of 150 the sweepstakes will be of 5 1 instead of 3 and the minor prizes will bo 4fl sovs. to the seeond and 25 sovs. to tho third. It is provide 1 in the eonditions of the Grand Nutiomil Hurdle iraee, tlie added prize money of whirl, remains the same, 00) that the winner of any hurdle race of 1H0 sovs. or over will incur a penalty of 7 and two or more such races 10 lb.

In other respects the first day's card remains as it was last year. The programme tor the extra day, which will be on the following WodneKday, is of the total value ot' 550 suvs. for live rates, ihe card being: Hurdle Kaee. of 1C0 sovs. added, two miles; Welter Handicap, of 100 seven furlongs; Flat Kaee, of 100 two miles; Trial Steeplechase, of 100 about two miles; and tlie Convention Handicap, of 150 one mile and a half.

In each instance the subscription is 3 1 and the minor prizes 20 sovs. for second and 10 sovs. for third. The prize money for the Steeplechase day remains the same as last year, the total to be distributed being 1()50 sovs. The only alterations that have been made are that the Open Hurdle Race has beeen increased in distance from two miles to two miles and a quarter, and the distance of the Grand National Steeplechase has been increased from about three riiilrp to three miles and a furlong, nnd in addition it lias been decided to penalise winners of a steeplechase of 100 sovs.

Thompson, who was absent in Melbourne, but who should have attended the meeting to explain the workings in the mine.

The directors reported that the transfer of the property to the United Albion Gold Mines Limited had been completed and the 58,000 paid up shares had Wn released from escrow, and were being held in trust for the shareholders by the London branch of the company's bank. The mine was taken over by the new company on (ith December last, and work had been carried on vigorously at the 950 feet south and the 1050 north levels without any important development. The balance sheet showed receipts amountiug to 1625 142, exclusive of a balance of 86 18 7 brought forward from the previous hnlf year.

In this six months of its existence it was enabled to repay to the Government the money advanced to it out of the prospecting vote, and make its first dividend since 1S77. Since then it has been paying dividends pretty regularly. The run of stone which placed it in such a. good financial position is known as the eastern run, it being 100 feet to the west of the shaft. While prospecting at a depth of 76j feet by means of a crosscut it came on what, for distinction sake, is called the western mu, it being picked up 330 feet west irf th? eli.it'1.

A MAN OF MANY PARTS. Just before midnight on Saturday Constable Yickera came across a younjr man who was indulging in mock heroic conduct in the presence of a crowd which liadgaliiorcd near the British Crown Hotel, Smith-street, lie shrieked out that he was "Buffalo Bill front the prancing prairie." His accompanying whoops were calculated to disturb tho neighborhood, and he was quietly asked to eatry his romance to his own home. When he saw that the constable was not awed at the announcement that he was Buffalo Bill, he assumed another plat, or a total depth of 1015 feet. It holds 1000 feet on the line of reef, and at only one level has it worked up to the south boundary, that at 685 feet, where he eastern run of spurs has been worked up to the South New Moon boundary. In places this eastern run was taken down fora width of 130 feet, and when stoping win being carried on iu this part of the mine it would have been a comparatively easy thing for the occasional visitor to have lost himself in the labyrinth of stacks that were necessary to carry on operations, so as the risk of accidents could be reduced to a minimum.

This level at 035 feet is thought to be only about 60 feet east of the gerous sport which the turf provides could hardly wish for a more attractive menu. Simultaneously with the Victoria Racing Club, the committee of the Victoria Amateur Turf Club announces the conditions of its Grand National Hurdle Race and Steeplechase, to be held in August next. The committee has decided tomaketheiotal prize money the same as last year, tl50 1300 sovs. of which go to the Caul field Grand National Steeplechase and with a memento, in tlie snape oi a uauu u.inm (mid ncncil ense.

Hurdle li.ice: but in tlie latter instance an a general character to be dealt with, having a vital bearing upon the interests of the fruit growers, every society should see to being represented. A majority of the asso-ikaions have already notified items of social business intended to be brought up, and among these "consideration of the Diseases Act'' has a place almost in each. On this subject an expert contributor writes us: appears from tlip reports of tlie officers ad-miuisieriiijr tlie Vegetation Diseases Act that a va-rely of tin Jose scale insect lias Iiecn found Watitraratta on a species of eucalyptus, and lias Kpu identified as Aapidiotus eucalypti, and that Hie 'ential Board has heen advised to ask the shire uumtil of North Ovens to destroy the two trees Lv tiiL.

which were growing on a public road, in irdt-r to protect orchards in the vicinitv. I de-fire to btatc that the insect known as Aspidiotu was first descrihed and named by Sir. M. f-f New Zealand, in the transactions cf (he lioyal Society of South Australia, and bears no elrscr relation to the San Jose than any other oi the SO species of the genus Aspidiotus; and as is a wvy widely distributed species, occurring on ii variety of eucalypts and casuarinre (I have retried it myself mm Creswick, Bendigo and Valley district), it stands to re.iwn that having a knowledge of the life history and iliitri! nit ion of this insect, would nnver dream of iwimnonding the destruction of two harmless in erf, Ixeausc Fpecimc-ns were observed on them. i would be veiy unwise indeed to go to the cx-pens" of destroying two trees, when scores of other lort-st trees are similarly atfected.

Tlie foregoing ciilv helps to prove how important is is that or-i-baVd inspectors should have a thorough practical lomvledge. of the nature and life histories of the inlets of Australia, in order to carry out the pro-tii''ns of the Vegetation Bisease Act without in-lolviiiir unnecessary expense, end to impart cor-nxi information to orchard ists and a ignerons, tihr, in the absence of a knowledge of the eU'inents of entomology, are unable to grasp the benefit 3 derived from a study of the life history of the urms peels. Instead of appointing nun who are in the Civil Service, and have passed merely an itmmnatk'n in elementary entomology, the ap-tiimnicni3 should In; made available for workimr ami practical entomologists who are acquainted wir It tlie life histories and distribution of Austrian insoct, and whose labors in connection villi I'jiUimulrgy enlitte them to speak definitely iHkii any inset that i3 brought undtr Uieir noli With respect- to the foregoing, it will be neted that this question appears likely to lie largely anticipated before the date of the fruit growers' conference by action on the part of the Minister of Agriculture in the diiection of securing the services of capable men from outside the service. In the meantime, tlie orchardists should not forget that they who have gone to trouble and expense to keep their properties free of pests it in their own hand to very greatly help the Minister by informing him by letter of the location of 'insect-infected orchards. Such advice would, as a matter of course, lie held private and confidential, and upon receipt a capable inspector be despatched to the spot.

JAMIKSOX. Crushing has been resumed at the Pride of the Goulburn mine, and CO tons of payable stone are at grains. The No. 4 tunnel is being advanced to meet the shoot of gold bearing stone. Extensive underground surveys are being carried out, and plana prepared at the famous Sailor Bill's mine, which, it is expected, will shortly be taken over by a company with a strong working capital.

A cinnabar lode has been met with in the Quicksilver mine, a property that has been systematically developed, and is now proved to be of great value. A new type of an ore crusher is coming forward for the Nugget mine, and it is claimed that it will become universal fur treating the soft diorite dykes in this district. The Mines department have had a road cut to the Nugget mine, and the erection of the machinery will be at once proceeded with. LAUXCESTOX. This morning, Mr.

Last year the journey was four miies, and owing to an unfortunate blunder on the part of some of the riders in the race, a mistake was made regard iner the last round. This mistake had the effect of seriously handicapping what otherwise might have proved a very popular item on the programme, and it is regrettable that the committee have felt compelled to make an alteration in the length of the race because oi the MundiTing of some of the jockeys who rode lat year. The distance next August will be thiee miles three furlongs and 128 yards, which will enable the start to be made at ihe point from which the field for the First t'aullield Futurity Stakes, of seven furlongs, were despatched last month. The programme of the V.R.C. Queen's Birthday meeting was framed by the committee yesterday.

There is an increase in firize money, the amount of added money laving hen augmented and the sweepstakes which go to the winners considerably increased in value. Last year only 950 sovs. were given away; this year tlie slakes wilt total 1000 the increase consisting of an additional 2.) sovs. tacked on to the Two-Year-Old Handicap and the. Welter Handicap.

In the Huidle Kaee, tiie Two-Year-did Handicap, the Welter Handicap and the Koyal Handicap, the sweepstakes will be 3 sovs. instead of 2 the 4 sovs. instead of 2 sovs. and the Birthday Handicap 5 sovs. instead of 4 sovs.

The distances remain the same in every case. There continues to be speculation in Melbourne on the Doncaster Handicap and Sydney Cup. The best favorites for the former race are Vedette, Iiobadil, Keapcr, Sailor Boy, Adoration, Syerla, La Carabine, Haven's lMume and Talavera, but 10 to 1 is still offered on tlie field.

During the last six years, in addition to the extensive opening up of the mine, there has been a large amount expended in the erection of new machinery, and the greater portion of the purchase money of an extensive battery in the vicinity of the mine has been paid off. At the present time it is contemplated to lay down a tramway to the crushing machine, and thus avoid the large expenditure that is incurred in the carting of stone. For the past six years 71,048 loads have been crushed for a total yield of 32,080 oz. of gold, or an average of close on 0 dwt. to the loa', of the value of Deducting from this the sum of 7808 paid for machinery, and 48,000 circulated in dividends, the balance shows the full working cost of the mine.

Out of this of course the expense of sinking the shaft and driving crosscuts has come, and the actual cost of breaking, raising and crushing each load of quartz for the past three half years has been 16s. 10s. 10d. and 10s. 0d.

respectively. The history of the mine affords evidence as to the value of the work of the tributers in a claim, for it was the tributers' discoveries that led the company up to the stone that has been so successfully worked for so nmny years, and also given proof of the advantages to be derived by the temporary advance of moneys by the Mines department to struggling companies. The legal manager of the mine is Mr. W. H.

A BOARDING HOUSE BARBER. Richard Jones, about whose career as a boarding house barber some particulars appeared in "The Age" a few days ago, was brought up at the Port Melbourne court yesterday on a charge of stealing two suits of clothes and other articles, valued at 9 2s. belonging to Thomas Laeev, railway employe, on Hrd March, 1897. Accused, with a nonchalant air, said, "I plead guilty on condition that you deal with me. It is immaterial whether you do or not, as I will be brought up at the Citv Court in a day or two." On the dav preceding that on which the offence was committed accused called on Mrs.

Priscilla Anderson, boarding home keeper, in Evans-street, and asked for board and lodging, representing that he was engaged putting-horses on board a vessel to send to Sv.lnev. He slept there that night, but on the following morn-irg he was mm est, and it was found that he had taken the clothes of Mr. Lacry. a fellow boarder, tthen arrested by Detective Hawkins, in KlinnVr-strwt, on he mid he would plead guilty.

All gW-s are therefore first extracted frm tlie meat by means of vacmitn, and thorough and even impregnation is subsequently effected by pjvssure before the sides have come in contact with llie nir. The process is effected by means of a cylinder closed at one end, and fitted with a movable shield or door at the open end.

This door bis to stand a pressure of 120 or ISO lb. to the wiiare inch, equal to 700 ton on a surface fl fect in diameter. The necessary resistance is obtained bv of hvdraulic ranis, which hold the door in position, and it moves on a travel line pulley running on a rail overhead, and rai easily be placed in position and adjusted by two nun in as many minutes. Muos to be cured are placed on wooden tras wHch lide into iron framework fixed on trollies. Th-se trollies are loaded outside the cylinder, and run on mils, which continued inside the machine.

Tlie method of the process is as follows: Tlie sides to be cured are flr-t injected with brine or pickle in the usral manner, and then placed in the travs Ihfurenientioned.

MINING MEETINGS BROKEN HILL SOITH SILVER COMPANY. A LIVELY MEETING. The half yearly meeting of tlie Broken Hill South Silver Mining Company was held yesterday in PreM's-buildings, under the presidency of Mr. M. R.

Greene. The balance sheet showed a credit of 14,867 13s. 4d. to the profit and loss account. The Chairman stated that the mine was looking uncommonly well, and the report of the underground manager showed that a marked improvement had taken place, Since that report was drawn up the mine had continued to open up well, and there was a large amount of ore in view.

A Bd. dividend would be paid on 22nd April, and for the hiture there was every prospect of quarterly dividends. He moved the adoption of the rep ort und balance sheet. Mr. T.

Learmomh seconded the motion. Mr. L. A. Jvssup, one of the Adelaide directors, said he visited the mine the other day, and he could assure the meeting that everything possible was being done in the interests of (lie ttiureholders.

The mine was not full of "jewellers' shops," and unless it was worked economically it would not pay. The mining committee lud three great dilH-cufties to contfiul apaitist. The writ Iters, amongst whom some sort of freemasonry existed, had raised their charge 10s. a ton, which meant a cost of alout a week to the company. They were spending t2f)n0 a year in water, and could get no concessions from the water company.

The question of freights was also a serious one. Mr. T. J. tireenway, consulting engineer, said there was try litile change to reitori U-yond th op-mng up of a laixe bmly of ore in tlie iJO fitt level, hich was not expjcted.
