The company will be ;registered by the secretary. There is a prospect of the Kuoatunu field,, which has,beon{dormant for some years past,, being brought under activo development again before . very long. ... Seeing .that from' 18S9' .to .'1906 this portion of the goldfields .yielded bullion to thh value of '.£160,708, any further development; on .a practical scale is necessarily of interest. -A : local , syndicate-is. at present takinn steps'to form ia eompahy' v td take over the .Kapai Vermont. property ' at . Kuoatunu. The proposal in connection mth : the mine i« to'sink to-a deeper level than' the, English owners, exploited oh" the'- same -reef , system. The Kapai-Vermont yielded between'lß93 and 1898 bullion of a, total value of ,£29.029. It was - afterwards : (in 1901. and .1902).; worked in conjunction with the'Mariposa mine adjoining (formerly the Try Fluke) by ,the: Kuoatiinu Syndicate, who obtained a further .£2356 worth 'of bullion'from' the" joint property.' Later again ■ (1897 to . 1903)' the. now Mariposa continued operations in the two :,claims,i-. 1 and obtained from them' nearly .£IO,OOO-' woKh of .'bullion. . There is also a. prefect, of the • Mariposa or Try Fhtke "claim .being 'worked again, though. nothing definite has. -,yet been done in this direction. This propertiy. has produced more, bullion-' than: any: other at Kuoa» 1 tunu. Its yield from 1890 to 1897 was JE58.672. The old Aorere claim, which was recently rochristened' the. Mountain- King,;, is now .being worked by a local company. . It: .yielded from 1893 to 1899 a total bullion value'-of. ,£IO2B. Recently, a'small parcel of pioked ■ stone from the ■ surface .level of 'the mine was treated on behalf of, the. late",owner, yielding bullion worth about .£l4O. . The manager of , the Mountain King, in his latest report, says >that in" the:crossout the,formation of the'-'reef has been met with. A heavy flow ,of- wator-' is coming from the reef. -'Until the pump clears the water he has all hands 'stripping the reef on the north side, towards where,-the rich gold was got in tho upper level.; Another well-' known property at Kuoatunu, -tho WaitaraJ which has yielded over ,£25,000 worth of bullion, has been purchased by aiocal, syndicato,\ who intend resuming active operations very shortly.
