DEFENSIO NON PROVOCATIO.
TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OF THE

UNITED KINGDOM.
You are all aware that in 1860 Mr. Gladstone succeeded
in passing an Act of Parliament, by one provision of which
it was placed in the power of every shopkeeper to retail
Wines.
Whatever may have been the motive of this policy, tkere
can bo no dispute about its operation. It was a direct in-
terference with the trade of the Licensed Victuallers, the
most highly taxed body of traders in the Kingdom, and an
invitation to other bodies to compete with them for the
profits of their own proper and legitimate business.
The Grocers were not slow to avail themselves of the
new field thus thrown open to them, and have cultivated
it with an assiduity which compels the Licensed Victuallers
to consider how they may best protect and indemnify
themselves. The result of the deliberations of many
members of the Trade on the subject has boon a resolution
to meet the rivalry of the Grocers in the sale of Wine by
embarking in the sale of Tea.
An Association has accordingly boon formed for this
purpose, which—strong by its connexion with gentlemen
of long residence in China, and large experience as tea
masters—can undertake to dispense with intermediate
profits, and to supply tea at a lower price than the pur-
chasing retail Grocers pay.
The benefits of this project will bo by no moans confined
to the Licensed Victuallers; it will be au especial boon to
the poor, who are now paying an exorbitant price to the
Grocers for an article on the sale of which these rely for
their largest profits.
The Tea supplied by the " LICENSED VICTUAL-
LERS' TEA ASSOCIATION" will be packed in quan-
tities of llb., alb., and Vb. It will bo obtained only from
the Association, which will also take upon itself to pay for
the licences necessary for its sale.
A list of Agents already appointed will be published in
a few days. In the meantime all applications may be ad-
dressed to the Secretary of the Licensed Victuallers' Tea
AssoSeptember, ciatiop, at their Offices, No. 3, Mincing-lane, E.C.

GOLD MINING IN FIC7ORLI.

1 In the statement prepared by Mr. Smyth, the
S.Tretary of Mines for the colony of Victoria, to
accompany the objects furnished by that depart-
ment to the Paris Exhibition of the present year,
after devoting a considerable space, but no more
than they deserve, to the operators of the Port
Phillip Colonist and Gold Mining Company, lie
calls the attention of all who are interested in
Quartz Mines to the detailed account furnished by
Mr. Bland, on the part of the company, as showing
what can be accomplished by good management and
the use of well-devised appliances. " The usual
course pursued (continues Mr. S nyth) when a rich
vein is discovered by those who are in haste to make
money is to form a company, and to put machinery
on the ground at a great cost, and to crush enough
of the rich quartz to give notoriety to the mine.
The original proprietors sell out when this is accom-
plished, and the property is left in many cases in the
hands of men who are not well acquainted with
mining. After a time the reef is probably lost, the
machinery comes to a stand-still, and the adven-
ture is abandoned. The proper and honest course
is to test the vein, to raise a sufficient quantity of
quartz to ascertain the probable yield of gold from
it, before incurring the expense of erecting crushing
mills." Now the test just recommended may be
easily applied, and with very great accuracy too, by
any one of experience ; and the large body of the
public here at home do not know, or are apt to for-
-get, how a small quantity. of gold pays for the cost
of raising and crushing the quartz. The expendi-
ture for that purpose, together with the cost of
management, from an average size reef—say four to
five feet thick, will be about 13s. per ton, at 300 to
400 feet from the surface. The pennyweight
(dwts.) of gold stands in miners' estimation is equi-
valent to four shillings in money, and therefore 31
dwts. will represent the cost of obtaining the desired
metal. But (to quote again from the official state-
ment)—" From returns made by the mining sur-
veyors and mining registrars of the yield of gold
from parcels of quartz crushed during a period of
seven years (from 1859 to 1865) it appears that
3,110,328 tons have yielded an average of 12 dwts.
6,375 grs. of gold per ton"—that is in money (say
12+ grs. for easy calculation) 495. per ton, But a
pamphlet now before us gives a very plain estimate,
showing that a return of only 7 dwts. per ton, or
285., would yield a clear profit of 50 per cant. per
annum, on an establishment founded at an outlay
of £25,000, even though so large a proportion of
the returns as £10,900 were set aside for contin-
gencies and accidents, &c. The wonder is, then,
that more capital has not found its way out to be
thus profitably employed in the Australian mines.
Satisfactory methods of accounting for the singu-
lar facts are given by Mr. Kitto in the pamphlet
just mentioned, entitled " The Gold Mines of
Victoria." This gentleman is a Government min-
ing surveyor, now on leave of absence to this
country, who from his position and experience is
enabled to support his facts and arguments by the
necessary statistics gathered from the various de-
partments of the Victorian Government and from
other sources. He avows that the purpose of his
labours is to prove that an immense field is open for
the safe investment of capital in the Australian gold
mines; and an additional voucher for the sincerity of
his convictions is that his pages are free from any
liking to particular localities, or companies, or modes
of operating. His official duties must have made
him thoroughly acquainted with his subject, and all
who are interested in that subject will joyfully
refer to his well-arranged information and lucid
corollaries. Setting aside the earlier years of the
history of gold mining in Australia, Mr. Kitto lays
himself out to impress on the reader that the part of
the capitalist to devote himself to that branch of the
treatment of the gold districts, which is now evident
,will become a permanent industry—that is, quartz
mining, in which such rapid progress has been made
that it is reduced almost to a science, under the
laws of which an experienced mining engineer can-
not fail to produce results satisfactorily to his em-
ployers. Alluvial mining, at first thought to be
the only course that could be prosecuted with suc-
cess, is on the other hand likely to decline ; the
rather that the doctrine laid down by theorists, and
even confirmed by a commission specially appointed
to report on the matter—viz., that gold would not
be found in remunerative quantities beyond a depth
of forty or sixty feet—has been utterly scattered to
the winds by one continuous series of results from
deep mining, establishing that if the gold does not
increase with depth it certainly does not decrease.
Mr. Kitto gives a selection from the returns of va-
rious mines, showing the large profits accruing from
quartz brought up from depths of from 600 to 200
feet; and the richest gold mine in California we
learn i 51,200 feet in perpendicular descent from the
surface, and probably 300 feet below the ocean.
Thequestion may in fact be considered as completely
disposed of, and the stride taken by quartz mining
is seen at once when we find that it now produced
nearly one-third of the whole amount of gold fur-
nished by Victoria during the last year, 1866. With
all this, Mr. Kitto tells us, failures will arise, some-
times from a wrong selection of ground ; secondly,
from insufficient capital to carry on the work when
commenced ; and thirdly, from the unscientific
manner in which the operations may be carried out.
The instances of mismanagement adduced are
openly alleged and supported by official corrobora-
tion, so that full credit may be given them. Thus
in the Wattle Gully Company, of whose mining
establishment our author was himself the manager,
the original subscription capital was insufficient to
meet a time of financial difficulty, the directors
refused to make further call, and the property was
sold for a song. However, many miners have since
made small fortunes from the Wattle Gully pro-
perty, and when Mr. Kitto left Victoria, in April of
the present year, the mine was yielding in the
aggregate nearly 400 ounces of gold weekly. Again,
at a meeting of the Charlton Company at Ballarat,
in December, 1866, a shareholder wanted to know
why one of the drives, after travelling about to all
points of the compass, a distance of 300 feet, passed
at least within ten feet of the shaft? A direc-
tor replied that the drive was a mistake, arising
from the want of a compass to guide the mining
manager, and on being asked why a compass
was not provided, said the company could not
afford one. Another remarkable instance is that of
the Comet Company (Bendigo), in which, through
mismanagement, the mine was nearly closed.
The shares were alsolutely unsaleable when Mr.
R. Schlesinger undertook the legal management.,
and by employing experienced men has within two
years brought the concern to pay over 39 per cent.
per annum, with prospects of extraordinary future
returns, as a very large expenditure has arisen out
of purely opening work. With few exceptions,
indeed such is Mr. Kitto's opinion, the quartz mines
of Victoria are not well managed, and yet the re-
sult of mining in the quartz reefs is, in the aggre-
gate, infinitely better than from the alluvial
workings.

Some such faults of management, and such ab-
sence of proper direction, are requisite to account
for the astounding fact that out of 30,348 square
miles in Victoria—" in any part of which (accord-
ing to official investigation) there is a possibility of
remunerative gold deposits being found"—only 869
square miles have been mined upon ; and of this
smaller area only about one-sixth was occupied at
the end of last year, 1866. What, then, is the
conclu.sion ? We will give it in Mr. Kitto's own
words :—" My intimate acquaintance with the gold
fields, having been engaged for eleven years in con-
nection therewith as miner, manager of mines, and
during the last seven years as Government mining
surveyor,- enables me to state without fear of eons-
tradictiou that I am within the estimate when I say
that of the 869 square miles which have been par-
, tially worked, and of which only one-sixth is at
