MANUEL, Coal Creek BANK OF NEW ZEALAND. mHE ground of the Company consists of about 5 acres, adjacent to the Fourteen-mile Beach, through which the reef runs for J- a distance of 1200 feet. The reef, so far as it has 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 ofr 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.' l.esides this trial, there has been a few small tests, none of which yielded less than at the rate of 3 ozs. to the ton, and one test, act the Bank of Nev^ Zealand, Roxburgh, yielded a£ 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 te.rms 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 ; the necessary arrangements for the woiking of the Company. All applications for shares to be made to the Secretary, Ji C: Savage, Roxburgh*. The Share List will close on the Ist March.
