The Ground of the Company consists of about live acres, adjacent to the Fourteen Mile Beach, through which the reef runs for a distance of 1200 feet. The reef, so far as has been prospected, is well defined, and varies in thickness from S 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 he no doubt as to its permanency

There has been a trial crushing o£ a ton of stone from the reef at the. Government bat tery, 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 less than at the rate of 3 ounces to the ton, and one tost at the Bank of New Zealand Roxburgh yielded at the rate of nearly soz 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 moans of tunnelling, which may be commenced on the reef in the Company’s ground, at a 400 feet level.

There is also a water race on the Company’s ground, containing anjample supply of water for the working of a battery of any number of stamps up to fifty head, and this may bo either purchased m 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.
