GREAT EXTENDED COMPANY.

(To tU Editor.) Sib, — As a considerable amount of doubt and uncertainty has hitherto existed as to the result of the mining operations of the Blue Spur Companies, I beg to submit the balancesheet of the Great Extended Co. The extraordinary expenditure amounts to (for pipes, carriage, aud tool-house) £240, which, together with the balance carried forward and the amounts declared in dividends, shows a profit over working expenses of close on £2000. The balance-sheet otherwise speaks for itself ; and as the publication of the balance-sheet will serve in a neasure to remove the absurd and uncertain notions regarding mining operations here, will you, Sir, do me the kindness to publish it. — I am, &c., William Kell, Manager.
