Button, Esq. SkCBETABT : J. E. Cuddeford, pro tern. THE object of the proposed Company is to work the lease of the Enterprise Quartz MiDing Company, Taipo. The claim is situated on Parry's Eange, Arahura district, about seven miles from the Cfcristehurch road, and thirty-seven miles from Hokitika . The claim contains an area of 20 acres, granted as a lease to the present Company by the Governor's Delegate The prospectors have already expended a sum of i>lsoo in driving a tunnel, sinkiDg a shaft, and geaerally testing the ground. Two distinct and well-defined reefs have already been tested in the claim—one in the shaft and the other in the tunnel. They are about 200ft., apart, the average width is 3ft. Sin. and 2ft. 6in. The stone is equal in richness. The tunnel has been driven 150ft., and the shaft is now down 30ft. It ia proposed to extend the tunnel so as to strike the reef which is being worked in the shaft. A trial crushing of about eight hundred weight of stone and rubble, taken from both reefs, took place at the Bank of New Zealand, Hokitika, some time since, and yielded at the rate of 50z3. 6dwts. to the ton. The payable quality of the stone having been thus satisfactorily proved, it is proposed that the new Company shall work the ground in a more systematic manner and on a more extensive scale than hitherto, and it is confidently anticipated that with the aid of machinery, the mine will prove remunerative to an extent greater than is the case with regard to many of the best reefing companies on the West Coast. The claim is commandel by an extensive and never failing supply of water at a high level, which can be brought on to the ground at a comparatively small cost, for working the battery. When increased labor has opened up the reefs there will be a supply of quartz sufficient to keep a heavy battery continually employed. The road, connecting , the reefs with main Christchurch road, has been finished by the Government, and every facility ia now offered for the conveyance of machinery to this undoubted payable field. The promoters and shareholders in the present company have such confidence in the remunerative nature of the ground, that they are willing to accept two thousand four hundred paid up sharee in the new Company, in full payment for the purchase of their entire right and title in the lease, for all labor already done, and expenses incurred. The promotei'3 are assured that the undertaking will prove a complete succes •, and confidently express an opinion that the future opera- i tions of the new Company will materially tend to the development of a very extensive tract of reefing country, which when opened up,_must of necessity largely increase the commercial prosperity of Hokitika, as being the nearest town, and port to the goldfield. They, therefore, invite the attention of the public to the present undertaking as-a safe and paying investment. The promises of support already received jus'ify the conclusion that the Company will he floated at an early date, and application for shares are invitsd. JAMES E. CUDDEFOBD, " 9-17 9717 Secretary, pro tern.
