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 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 he extracted by means 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 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 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.
