PARIS EXHIBITION. MAY, 1889.

The following circular has been sent to chairmen and directors of the. principal •mines in the Hadrnki Mining District :— To CttafitfeMß* and Directors op &dki> Mining GoflPAtfiEs. Gentlemen,— At n former masting of those interested in developing the resources of our goldfields, at Which the Hon. E. Mitchehon was present, it was pointed out that the French Government: had promised every facility for the exhibition of our ores at the forthcoming: exhibition to be held in fans in 1889. Since then one of your Committee, A. Devore, Esq., has interviewed the Commissioner representing France at the. Melbourne Exhibition, and from him has received an assurance that space shall be set apart for our exhibits ; but, failing space in the exhibition, that the School of Mines in Paris would be induced to ; -take the matter up. so far as to explain* lo the public the value of our ores, &c. Your Committee need hardly point out to you the desirability of the several mine-owners availing themselves of this opportunity of bringing under the notice -of foreign capitalists the value of our mines and the necessity of their further development. As the French Government undertake the whole vf the responsibility of these -exhibits, exhibitors may rely upon their <ore being displayed to the best advantage. "Such will do more to exemplify the value of our ore than has hitherto been done at any previous exhibition. The knowledge that ores from New Zealand are displayed will induce Germans, English, and other parties interested in smelting operations to visit Paris for the purpose of making themselves acquainted with our minerals. No expense wilf be incurred by the mine-owner for packing or despatching ; this will be bortto by the Government of New Zealand. All that will be rrqtiired will be the ore for exhibition. Yonr Committee earnestly Folicit your •co-operation in this matter, feeling assured that we can, by a little energy Tjpon our parts, remove that stigma of apathy now so freely applied to us, and convince the outride world by ocular proof that we hold within our grasp such wealth as goes to bnild up nations. Soliciting your hearty assistance in this matter, and requesting a reply by the 28rd instant, stating what amount of ore you can supply, and when, and its value, TVe are, yours truly, A. Devoue,") A. Porter. > Committee. .7 Young, ) I Chamber of Cwjpipvcp, Auckland, >'ovemh*i H, 1888. j
