The West Coast Times of the 15th inst. says : —A small company of twelve has been formed to prospect the sounds south of Jackson’s Bay for minerals and valuable stone. Samples of marble .of excellent quality have been shown by the promoters, and there is a fair hope of discovering a large body of it. There are two working and ten subscribing shareholders. Messrs. Turnley and Smith are the working shareholders, and they go down by the Maori to-day, full} 7 equipped with boat, tent, blankets, and provided with provisions for at least four mouths. We pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that we can do, and any kindness we can show to our fellow-beings, let us do it now. Let us not defer or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again.
