The report and financial statement submitted were adopted, and new office-bearers and members of Committee were elected. The district may be proud that, in spite of the departure of many of its leading miners, it can still boast of a goodly array of men of talent and sterling worth to conduct the business of the Association.

Amongst a very large amount of business of local importance, the following resolutionwas carried unanimously:—" That, in the' event of the Gold Keoate Ordinance being disallowed by the General Government, it is the opinion of this meeting that the sum of £SOOO set aside for the rebate should be divi-' ded.pro rata amongst the Goldfields of the' Province, for the purpose of prospecting for' gold, and the purpose of establishing Miners' Institutes." A vote of thanks arid confidence in the" Central Miners' Association—for the very efficient way in which they have conducted the'" business, and watched over the interests of ; the miners of the Province—was carried, with"' marked approval. -E.
