The object of the proposed Company is to work a Mineral Lease of 500 acres, situate at Mount Rangitoto, Comity of Westland, formerly known as Hudson’s Lease, which Lease has been since purchased from the Waste Lands Board by Mr. Henrj Young. The Lease is known as No. 2, West of the Mount Rangitoto Company’s Mine.

Mr. Arthur, Mining Surveyor, who has recently returned from completing a survey of the Lease, reports as follows: “ I may state that in addition to lodes formerly reported on, Mr. Palmer, one of the original prospectors of the Mount Rangitoto Silver Mine, who kindly volunteered his assistance in the survey, discovered a large lode in one of the creeks running through this Lease, the position of which you will see on the plan, and marked ‘ Quartz Reef.’ The Reef is from fifteen to eighteen feet in thickness, and bearing east 13deg. south,' and west 13deg. north, underlying to the north at an angle of about SOdegs. This lode is in a direct line with those now being worked by the Prospectors’ Company, and shows both Galena and Pyrites. Mr. Palmer also discovered a great quantity pf stream tin in two different creeks in the tease, some of the boulders being from two to three hundredweight. lam of opinion that an immense tin lode must also run through the lease, from the quantity of stream tin in the two creeks.” The original prospectors of the Mount Rangitoto Company’s Mine also report as follows upon this Lease:—“Two lodes of ere similar to those in the ‘Mount Rangitoto Company’s Mine outcrop in this Lease, one of fifteen inches—the other varies from three to five feet in thickness.” It is proposed to engage from California a thorougly competent and experienced Silver Mining Manager, and to have .the mine developed and worked on sound scientific principles, and with the latest machinery.
