Mr MacdonaMjL after reading: the conditions of sale, referred to the remarkable success attending the settlement of the lands} sold by the company. . He stated thjat the- sale today was singular in tiro respeci that portions of the; land toybe offered, in *■ addition to being of gfceat value .for agricultural and pasf orial pursuits,, had the advantage of valuable mineral deposits. Buring the] last fortnight lodes of manganese, W ore largely used in the metal injdustries, and valued at £7 per ton, ijtad been discovered. An analysis to* a sample,, which was then in fctye room, had proved that it was the I richest man- . ganese ore yet found ifi the colony,, coutaining as it did nwarly 80 per cent, of pure metal.
