The several parts of this large block have been held by private parties for more than twelve months, who foimed themselves into a company called the Commissionpr's Flat Gold Mining Company, but after repeated efforts it was found that more efficient machinery than that employed would be required to work the ground effectually. The projectors of the present company propose to raise a capital of £2500 by 500 shares of £5 each, reserving two hundred paid up shares fov the outlay already incurred in procurin >• the lease of the cl.iim and the purchase of plant now on the ground, thus placing on the market 300 shares at £5 each. The rich lead 01 gold now being worked on the flat, and having a depth of washdirt from five to f even feet has been traced up to the ground, and prospects of from to lAdwt. to the dish obtained out of the company's pump shaft at a depth of 21 or 22 feet. But owing to the want of efficient steam power, as already stated, the bottom was r.ot reached by ihe former company. The plant of the late company (exclusive of the steam engine), the original cost of ■which was £500, has "been purchased by the projectors, so that so snon as a proper steam engine can be obtained the workings will immediately be renewed, and in a very short time a dividend declared. 5764 PROSPECTUS OF THE MANCHESTER UNITY HALL COMPANY (Limited).

Seobetary (pro tern) — Mr William Reuben Goodrick. Temporary Office — Oddfellows Hotel, Eevell street Korth. This Company proposes cithor to purchase a central and. convenient site whereon to erect a spacious Hall, suitable for the meetings of Masons, Oddfellows, Foresters, and public bodies, as also for Balls, Concerts, Lectures, and. other public entertainments. In the event of a convenient bite not being procurable at a price within the means of the Company, it is proposed to purchase a building, which, by jud'eious alteration and enlargement, may be made to answer the purpose for which the project is started. Such a desideratum as a really commodious Hall has long been felt in Iloldtika, and the promoters feel confident that the undertaking will prove a great success. From calculation based upon very moderate returns, it can be shown that the annual profits upon the Hall will be at least 30 per cent, upon tho original outlay. In connection with the public Hall it is proposed to erect a first-class hotel, capaDle of accommodating members of the several societies and their friends who may be visiting or remaining in the J locality, as also for the accomodatio.i of young n^en engaged as employees in the various establishments in Hokitika. It is considered that the hotel should be sufficiently large to accommodate from 40 to 50 persons with separate sleeping apartments, together with a proportionate amount of parlor?, private rooms, &c. It is proposed to let the hotel to borne competent person known to the community of Hokitika, as well as to ( the colonists generally. Thus, while the Hall would be used for public purposes, the hotel in close proximity, would serve to accommodate those using it. Similar schemes, both upon a large and a small scale, have been found to answer admirably in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and other towns and cities in Great Britain, and also in Wellington, Melbourne, and the colonies generally. When half the shares have been taken tip, it is proposed to register the company, and. call a meeting of shareholders for the election of Directors, &c. Application for shares to be made to the Secretary, at the temporary office of the Company, Oddfellows' Hotel, llevell street INorth, on Monday, Wednesdaj--, and Saturday evening's, from 7 to 9 0 clock. 5535 TTICTOEIA FIRE AND MA.EINE INSURANCE COMPANY.
