" ‘ The Ground of the Company consists of about five acres, adjacent to the Fourteen Mile Beach, through which the reef runs for a distance of 1200 feet. The roof, so far as has been prospected, is well defined, and varies in thickness from 8 to 22 inches, and several experienced miners have expressed it as their opinion, that, from the nature of the ground through which the reef runs there can be no doubt as to its permanency There has been a trial crushing of a ton of stone from the reef a„ the Government battery, which yielded better than 9 dwts. of gold, but the character of the stone sent could not be considered an average sample, it being largely intermixed with mullock. Besides this trial there has been a few small tests, none of which yielded leas than at the rate of 3 ounces to the ton, and one test at the Bank of New Zealand Roxburgh yielded at the rate of nearly 6oz to the ton. >■' From the situation of the reef every facility is afforded for working it, as the quartz to a depth of 400 feet, can be extracted by means of tunnelling, which may be commenced on the reef in the Company a ground, at a 400 feet level. There is also a water race on the Com- ■ pany’s ground, containing an ample supply of water for the working of a battery of any number of stamps up to fifty head, and this may be either purchased in whole or part on the most reasonable terms from the ' . proprietors. It is proposed, as soon as 1200 shares are disposed of, to convene a General Meeting \ of the shareholders, to make the necessary arrangements for the working of the ; •Company. .• . ■ j Ail applications to be made to the 1 Secretary, .
