The Ground of the Company consists of about live ac»es, adjacent to the Fourteen Mile Beach, through which the r eof i runs for a distance of 1200 feet. The reef, 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 he no doubt as to i. s permanency .

There has been a trial crushing of a ton of stone from 'he v cef aj tha Government battery, which yielded better than 9 dwts. of gdd, but the character of the stone sent could not be considered an average sample, it being lamely intermixed with mullock. Besides this trial there has been a fewsmall 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 soz to the ton.

From the situation of the reef every facility is afforded for working it, as the quartz to a depdi of 400 feet,, can he extracted by means of tunnelline, which may lie 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 hatte r y of any number of stamps up to fifty head, and this may he either purchased in whole or part on the most reasonable terms from the proprietors.

It is proposer!, as soon ns 1200 shares are disoosed of. to convene a General Meeting of the shareholders, to make the necessary arrangements for the working of the Company.
