MANUAL, Coal Creek, PETER BOYD, Bankers BANK OF NEW ZEALAN D. The Ground of the Company consists of about live acres, adjacent to the Fourteen Milo Beach, through which the ’’cof 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, anti several experienced miners have expressed it as their opinion, that, from the nature of the ground through which the reef runs there can bo no doubt as to its permanency There has been a trial crushing of a ton of stone from the reef aj 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 lees, 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 soz to the ton. From the situation of the reef every facility is afforded for working it, as the quar ( z to a depth of 400 feet, can be extracted by means of tunnelling, which may bo 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 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 m whole or part on the moat reasonable terms from the proprietors. It is proposed, as soon as 1290 shares are disposed of, to convene a General Meeting of the shareholders, to make the necessary arrangements for the working of the Company.
