Per the New Zealand Press Association. o MIDDLE STAR MEETING. DISTRICT COURT. A REMARKET. AUCKLAND. Tuesday. A MEETING of the shareholders of the Middle Star Goldmining Company was held to-day. The directors’ report stated that they had confined the work lately chiefly to the Cape adit, hut that on Saturday last the mine manager had discovered an apparently rich block of ground which had been ove looked by the original shareholders, and the specimens taken from.near the surface, were laid on the table.

Messrs S E. Hughes and John Hannah were elected directors, and it was also resolved that the board of directors use their own discretion as. to whether they should employ labour to work the block indicated.

In the District Court to-day, upon the application being made for the second schedule of the Golden Crown Extended to be passed, an important point was raised. Bucholz prior to the preparation of the first schedule, had transferred his interest to Eclcart, who paid the first call and subsequent!}’ left the colony. The official agent finding, a second contribution necessary, put Bucholz’s name on the schedule Bucholz argued that, as his name was not on the first schedule, it was illegal that it should appear on the second.

Judgment has been reserved. Other contributory cases were adjourned, all involving the same point. A Provincial Government Gazette published to-day contains several mining notices. * (FROM our own correspondent.) 8 p.m. The shareinarket has been very much unsettled to-day. Caledonians sold at £26 to £27 10s; Thames, £6 ; Moanataiari, £6. Other stocks quite neglected. Tookey, £ll. Gas shares, £9 15s. Arrived: The Thames, barque, from Wellington.
