BULAig VALLEY WORKERS. I I EXTENSION OF NEATH MEDICAL| AID ASSOCIATION. I A CuTTACS H8SMTAL. I A representative meeting of the workers and colliers employed in the Duiais Valley was held at the Baptist Schoolroom, Aberdulais, on Wednesday evening, at which a deputation from the recently formed iveath. and District i Medical Aid Association attended. The meeting had for its object the con- sideration of a, proposal from the Valley men to become attached to the ineath j Association, and Mr. lorn Morris, Aber- dulais, who presided, explained the rea- son. Is. 4d. Ctmsittered Excessive. Although he nad been a strong sup- porter of their local doctor in the past, lie was hound to differ from him now. They had offered him 8d. per head, but those terms had been refused, and he required is. id. This, he considered, was excessive when dependents of in- sured persons were covered by the Neath Medical Aid Association at 2d. per week. If that Association now pro- posed to take them under its wing, he could guarantee a large enrollment or membera. Ald. K S. Phillips, J.P., Neath, eX- plained the object of the Association, | and referred to the success which hart attended them in Neath. He pointed out that if the membership from the Valley was large enough the- Associa- tion would establish a branch surgery in the neighbourhood of Tonn-a, and engage the sorvioofl of an assistant to Dr. Hueback. (Heal-, hear). Another Meeting to be Held. Mr. Hookawav, representing the Steel Smelters, Mr Ioiiii aii(I Councillor J. R. Joces alio addressed the meeting, and it was decided to hold 'another meeting on Friday, at which the secretary, Mr Tom Duinuier, would attend to enrol members. A Csttage Hospital. So successful has been the Neath and District Medical Aid Association that a movement is on foot to provide a. Cottage Hospital between Britonferry and Neath. Considerable support is assured, and one works alone in the Melyn lw." guaranteed ClOO a year. The suggestion is not a new one; a few years ago .some public spirited gentlemen took the matter up, and opened a subscription list. A consider- able sum was collected, but the scheme never reached fruition, and the money was placed in the bank.

SOURCES OF SUPPLY. I WHERE UNDERGROUND BISHOFSION STREAM CRiuli^TES. The water supply controversy con- ?tinuc-?s to rage furiously at the Mumbles, old and new sources of sup- plies are Leing eagerly sought out by the parties on both sides. We have received an interesting communication from Mr. James Lloyd, Greens] ade, Langiand, which contains a deal of local lore and practical know le<lge.. Mr. Lloyd writes-Having read the discussions on the above question in your paper, I noticed in a recent issue that "Councillor Harry Beynon stated that an engineer had told him that there was no water at Dan Hill." It was also stated in the ratepayers' meeting that the Caswell water flowed through Murton. My personal exper- ience will show the matter in its true hght. I Bartend Stream. I think everybody knows of the stream that lfows into Bariand, and of the underground stream in Bishopst.one Valley. The stream from Bariand flows from Dan Hill, and at Barland I disappears into the rock, but on pro- ceeding into Bishopstone Valley we find the stream appearing again, and now- ing into the sea at Pwlf Du. A little nearer Bishopstone than the point where the stream reappears, is a cave, where the sound of running water is heard, and the water itself may be seen on entering the mouth of the cave. r think the prevailing idea is that the Pwll Du stream flows from this cave, but I don't think many know that there is another stream flowing out of the cave. I will justify this statement by facts. In the year 18,16, a company was started to search for lead in the vicinity of Bishopstone Valley. Mines were started, one at Bishopstone Valley, and another at Brandy Cove. The one at Bishopstone Valley can be seen to- day. It is nearly opposite the cave mentioned above. This mine had to be abandoned owing to the miners strik- ing an underground stream of water flowing towards Pvle. This stream re- appears at Pyle in the form of a well, which has never been known dry. The miners at Brandy Cove encountered the same stream about 50 feet below the surface of the ground, but here efforts were made to keep the water down, and I hr.i,e seen three men working day and night with a massive pump to keep the water down. They failed. The water next appears issuing through the rocks at the western side of Caswell. For Seventy-Six Years. 1 have been drinking Caswell water for 76 years and am still living, which is marvellous after the accounts we have heard of the impurity of the Caswell water. If these were true I should have been poisoned long ago. I have always known a plentiful supply, and although 11,000 gallons are pumped into the reservoir every hour. I say that quite as much is going to vaste. Thus it is ridiculous for people to say that the two springs at Oaswell come from the same stream, and if the local experts were to test the two waters, they would find one softer than the other. Thus the stream which sup- plies the spring in the west of Caswell Bay conns from Dan Hill, through Bar- land, and from there underground to I Caswell, through Brandy Cove, only ap- pearing in a well at Pvle, while the stream which supplies the springs. at the east side of the hay flows from Dan Hill, through Murton, appearing in a. well there, through Manse), ap- pearing in another well through Green- slade or Bishop's Wood near Caswell, appearing yi another well known as Peter's Well, near the ruins of the old church. Thus there are two streams flowing from Dan Hill into Caswell Bay, but then there is the stream which supplies Blackpill with water, and the stream running down through West Cross- lane. Those two streams also How from Dan Hill, so that we have four streams from Dan Hill, and we are only utilising iane. 1-11 11, -Elill, an d NN-t- are op -tv ijt I li?sing one. There is more water at Dan Hill than we. are using, and I maintain that there is no need to go to Cray for water when we have so much wasting around I us.

WHIM WELL COPPER MJNES. The directors of thi- well-known Austra- lian mining company have decided to make the necessary alterations in their plant for the treatment of the ore by the dry pro- cess, instead of the wet method. The al- terations to the plant should entirely over- come the difficulties experienced, and raise the extraction to the original estimate. It is anticipated that ere long the plant will be working to its full capacity, and the payment of dividends renewed. Advices from the general manager and from the experts of the Murex Company, who have supervised the, operations, are to the effect that the Murex part of the plant is in excellent running order, an-1 undoubt- edly satisfactory. Shipments of high grade ore arc being continued to smelters in this country and in France. During the month of March J671 tons of high grade ore were shipl)c and a further 47 tons on the 4th inst. The mine continues to open up large tonnages of rich ore, and will be able to maintain substan- tial shipments, in addition to supplying the new plant, for many years.
