j This Company is formed for the purpose of i working in ail efficient manner, a Quartz Reef ! recently discovered in the Arrow district, j The Reef is situated on the south bank of ■ the Arrow River, about half a mile from the j Arrow Camp, and is easily approachable by j dray traffic. Water power can at once be made j available for working a battery of stampers; 1 thus avoiding the enormous expense of proj curing and working steam machinery. The Report of Mr Mining Surveyor Wright ! is most favorable as to the quality and quantity jof the stone. After detailing certain experi- | ments, he concludes as follows:—"This trial ! shows a rate of nearly nine ounces to the ton; | and had the quartz beeu reduced sufficiently fine to enable me to extract all the gold, I make no doubt that it would have yielded at the rate of twelve ounces to the ton. I regret that I could not make a trial upon a larger scale, but as all the quartz raised appeared equal in quality to that which I took, I consider it may be taken as I a criterion of the value of the reef." j Mr liacket, the Assistant Government Geolo- : gist of Otago, and other scientific gentlemen | have inspt cted the Reef, and reported in equally favorable terms as to its gold-bearing capabilities. The Prospectors, with their primitive machinery, have realised from Jive to six ounces to the ton ; payable gold having been obtained throughout the reef, casings, and underlay. His Honor the Superintendent having forwarded to Auckland his recommendation that the Lease should be granted, a Public Meeting of Shareholders will be convened so soon as 200 Shares have beeu applied for. The Prospectors and Promoters agree to accept the sum of £BSO as compensation for the discovery of the Reef, and the Sale and.Transfer ot the Lease; such amount to be paid either in Cash or Shares, as may be arranged with tho Permanent Committee. Forms of application for Shares, copies of the Surveyor's Report and other information can be obtained from the Brokers, or from the undersigned. C. E. HAUGHTON, Acting Secretary.
