As a result of their inspection, it is stated they intend a'lvising tlieif Board to continue l!ie sinking nf the shaft com-ln-nced some time ago, and to purchase the requisite winding machinery f< t election over the same, With regard to the prospects of the mine, where the recent trial crushing was taker) from, they unsaid to tie greatly-pleased with what they h.-iw They returned to Auckland on Toes day hut will most likely again visit the Thames before leaving for Sydney’. The annual meeting of shareholders in the Martha Extended G. M., Co W iilii, which was to have been held in the pom puny’s office Auckland, on Monday, lapsed for want of a quorum.

They have also received fOf the rent of the battery the sum of L 127 14 J . The battery and tramway are in good ivmk ng order, and the trihitt<*r« are still crushing from tlm upp r portions of the mine. Mo attempt lias been made during the year to mik the shaft, as was suggested in lasf annual report, as the directors believe it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to collect calls for that purpose, hut th y an: still of opinion that this work should he done if it is the intention of the shareholders t > re tain and work the mine. Tiie Company*’ property has been under offer to two partiessince tindate of last meeting, but all .. negotiations are now off. and the directors would again ask power to dispose of the property if a sat infant Jry price can he obtained, or power to amalgamate with any’ adjacent mines on termswliieh may be considered bejn.fieiul to the Company.
