Cook's Strait Mining Company.

' PHE Projectors of this undertaking **■ have received assurance from the Govern- ' ment of a lease of the Copper Mines recently discovered near the .Dun Mountain. In the ■ capacity of owners of this mineral district, they propose ultimately to form a Company to work the same efficiently by means of a .large capital, ,~the amount of which cannot be expected in these settlements. Before the Projectors ask the Public to take - shares in such Company, they must be in a position to show that there are well-grounded -, expectations of their receiving .proper remuneration. This can only be done by an actual opening of -the. mine to such an' extent as will warrant the belief that such remuneration would ensue. It will also be necessary to survey the line of country from the mine to a place of shipment, so as to procure a proper outlet for ~ the produce of the mine. These operations cannot be accomplished without considerable expense, to meet which the Projectors propose to raise a Preliminary Fund by voluntary contributions on the part of the local public. The amount of this fund will be limited to-£l,ooo. It is proposed to ex- * pend £500 only, in the first instance, in making all requisite surveys, mining operations, -&c, &c, to arrive at a true and complete knowledge of, the intrinsic value of the mine. In the possible contingency of the mine turning out a blank, the remaining £500 would be returned to the 'contributors in the ratio of their contributions ; but in case, as may fairly be • expected, that a valuable mine does exist, then - and in that case further expenses would become -necessary in raising capital in England and 'elsewhere, and in obtaining the requisite assistance by importation of competent persons in sufficient numbers to carry on and work the * mines successfully. In the event of the above arrangement being satisfactorily carried out, and the result should warrant the s proceeding, a Company will be formed with a capital of £56,000, in £1 shares, fully paid up, to be conducted on the " Cost Book" principle, whereby the liabilities are confined to the amount of subscription, and the necessity of any contract-deed is avoided. The -contributors to the Preliminary Fund will be -entitled to three £1 shares in such Company when formed for every £1 paid to the' Preliminary Fund should they elect to become shareholders, which will be deemed to be conclusive -only on their signing the Cost Book. As soon as £500 lias been paid into the Banker's hands,' the requisite works will be -commenced, and a Committee of three shall be -elected by the contributors, two of whom shall form a quorum, by whom all arrangements with the Projectors shall be conducted, and in "whose names the money shall stand at the Banker's. All contributions to the Preliminary Fund must be paid, in full at the time of appli--cation. Mr. Wrby's Report -on this mineral district "lias long been before the public, and the Projectors are warranted in assuming that the ronclusion arrived at in that Report has gene-, •rally, been acquiesced^ in. They feel justified in stating that, such conclusion' is fully confirmed by after consideration. A considerable proportion of the Preliminary . Fund has already been subscribed, and if the a-eaidents of this settlement wish to promote • ats welfare, early attention is desirable.
