WIIJLIAM HAVES. riIHIS Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a Water Race to convey water from the Beaumont River to the banks of the Tuapeka River (a distance of about thirty miles). All the way along its course it will command an extensive area of well-known auriferous country. The first right to twenty-four heads of water has been secured by the present proprietors. A promising quartz reef has been discovered on the line of the race, which will render the property additionally valuable, Upwards of £800 has already been expended on the works.

Tinrxocf, oo far *» it Km been prospected, is well defined, and varies in thickness from Bto 22 inches. Several experienced miners have expressed it as their opinion that, from the nature of the ground which the reef traverses, there can be no doubt as to its permanency. There has been a trial crushing of a ton of stone from the reef at the Government Battery, which yielded better than. 9 dwts. of gold, though the character of the stone sent could not be considered an average sample, it being largely intermixed with mullock. Besides this trial, there has been a few small tests, none of which yielded less than at the rate of 3 o«s. to th§ ton and one test, at the Bank of New Zealand, Roxburgh, yielded at the rate of nearly 5 ozs. to the ton. From the situation of the reef, every facility is afforded for working it, as the quartz, to a depth of 400 feet, can be extracted by means of tunnelling, which may be commenced on the reef in the Company's ground at a 400 feet level. There is also a water race, containing an ample supply of water for the working of a battery of any number of stamps up to fifty, on the Company's ground, and this may be either rented in whole or part on the most reasonable terms from the proprietors. It is proposed that, as soon as 1200 shares are disposed of, to convene a general meeting of the shareholders, to make th. necessary arrangements for the woiking of the Company. All applications for shares to ba made to the Secretary, J. C. Savage, Roxburgh.

JOSEPH NICHOLSON'S NEW PATENT DOUBLE SPEED REAPING 85 MOWING MACHINE. To instantly obtain a change of speed, I supply my New Patent Reaper with an eccentric bush on the axle of the main driving wheel ; and my driving wheel is constructed with two sets of toothed gearing of different diameters for driving the pinion through which the knife- bar receives its motion; the eccentric bnsh having a lever attached which works in a quadrant with three perforations in it to receive the catch on the spring, and, by simply moving tlio lever to any of those perforations, tllC machine can be easily thrown into fast speed, slow speed, or out of gear. It has also Levers attached to both sides of the machine, so as to regulate the height required to be cut. The object of this improvement is to obviate the necessity of substituting one pinion for another in order to obtain a change of speed. The great inconvenience and loss of time that arises from this is perfectly well known to all practical farmers. Having succeeded in this long-desired object, I have secured my patent rights all over the world. These Reapers have been largely gold in Otago for ten years, the yearly incr.easing demand for them, and the hundreds of testimonials received from all quarters is the best proof of their superiority. To prevent disappointment, Orders should be sent to me at early as possible. Catalogues and Prices sent, post free, on/ application. Sole Agent for Otago — «. . Q. F. REID, Stafford-street, Dunedin.
