In eubmitling the! proposed undertaking for the approval ofkbe general public and more especially th{ inhabuants of the distroS whose ir.terel's must necessarily be directly beneflted by the impulse gi»entoß further development >f the hidden wealth of the field, and as a sequence -he increased circulation of capita loialy, tha prmocton have every conOdem b in it* successful u«u« —which in the fi-st lace may be attributed in a yen large degret to the widely expressed opinions of a variety of experts— first among whom may be men< oned the name of Dr. Hector, Government Minerologiat, &c. who say?, that" the consti rtion ofsueh a tunnel ennot fai\ to interse t numerou- golden and other valuable mftall c lod.s ; the local mm. erological products »f the neighbourhood fully justilying i lie a »suuiption of ihir exstence in well-define 1 strata at a dep'.h obtainable by the propos id .scheme."

A still further addition to tbe anticipated profits is represented by a tariff on hadiage ior other com« panics, estimated at, eiy, 10 per cent ovsr wotkmg expenses. I There is a distance of three-quarters of a mile ol unoccupied laul from the starting point, through which slventl ot tbe known lines of rsel" traverse. I The company propose to drive a tunnel from the right to the left hand" brunch of tlie Inanguhui river, a througiij distance of some two and a-half miles, and thereby intersecting a perfect network of jgold-bearing reel's; a number of which have bfee-; •■•artially worked on the surface on'y, but! wiiii payable results, whiob, on t!:« exieii^on of tbe pro» po=ed tunnel would be alt once turned to profitable nccount, os majtiy of them would be tupped ai. deaths ringing from 1500 (eet downwards Iroin the cutrrops, ensuring an unlimited supply of gold Hearing stone, which by, a thus reduced cost oflproCii.ction cannot, in the opinion of the Iprcjectors, fail to leave a very handsome nmrgiu of profit. The Golden Fleece Extended Gold Mining Compnny> who.->e lease is on the piopsed line, are ut present raisinf stone from the loir level, 700 fret below tie outcrop, giving tbe handfome return of two our.cts to the ton, which ia the best yet dbtitined from the mine, uud may be accepted! as indicative oi the uccuracy of a very prevalent opinion " that the richness of our quart z lodes increases with their depth." j The maximum of Calls null be One Penny per share per monb, thus juffording an opportunity to all classes of (participating in the venture by tbe litni.atiou of liability to a minimum. ' I A lifteen-he ad stamper bpttery is erected imnndiattly contiguous ti tiio tunnel's nioutb, available lor crusting any etons obtained. I As a mining speculation, il pro ent s direct pnd prospective advantages seldom met with iv kin: red ventures', as illustrated by the combination rdemd to, and I still further by recent statistics furnished to the New Zd«. land Government, showing that 108.1880z3. ot gold, the yield ot 156,362 lout, representing an average of 13uvvis 10 gis., or nearly ldidwts per ton have been [obtained by the various company's lliut havelbeen, and ure at work on the lines ot retf pro >osed to be intersected.
