QUEEN G.M.CO. (WAITEZAUBI). It will be noticed by advertisement that this company are calling tenders for 500 feet of driving along the course of the reef. There is no doubt this is one of the most important undertakings in the district, as it not only opens up this company's ground, giving it 250 feet of backs oh the reef now being so "profitably worked by the Waitekauri Company, but also gives the latter company 350 feet lower level than its present lowest one. A further advantage is the Queen can connect their workings with the Waitekauri battery at a very .trifling cost, and the Waitekauri Company, independently of having its mine thoroughly drained and free use of tunnel, will be enabled to dispense with the two steepest and most expensive sections of their tramway, in consideration of which advantages the Waitekauri Company are to bear onethird of cost of tunnel.*
