REMARKS. The Great Unknown Goldmining Company's ground is situated in fclie Taraiu district, and comprises ati area of 16 acr-s, forming the principal water frontage ti the fe Whaka Blook, distint about four nmles from Tararu Point, and is belter known by tha name of the Darkey's Claim. 1 he laud in qutstion has bean well prospected, and a quaatily of goldbearing quartz has bem already obtvned iiom thp Beveral diivus opened in the ground. No. 1 drive, which has been w> rked 8oini j 35 feet, has turned out ab^ut 40 tons of remarkably good looking stoue, and h»s a reef running across tho centre of the drive 13 feet in width. Fo, 2 also b«3 a well defined leader running in the same direction ; and No. 3 is on the higher level, and has the s-ime indication*, but nob so prominently developed as on the other drivep, which are on a lower level. One great advantage attending the position of tins valuable leasehold is the admirable facilities it commands for landing machinery, Btore», &.o. , and the amount of water-right secured will be tufficient to drive forty he<>d of stampers, if nGG'Ssary, should the niture of the working require such an amount of power. The terms offered by the original promoters of this Conij'auy, as already ant forth, are sufficieut to ouBuie a ppeedy and hucjissful result, aud the fact 6 bat the money received for (he promoters' sharea will be expended jn defraying the e^peqae attending the. formation and worlpug of the Corapany ig of itself a sufficient guarantee of the legitimacy of the jnTestineut.

PllOSPECTUS OF M1H THAMES GAS COMPANY (LIMITED PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS : James mhaut, Esq. O. J. Stone, Esq. F. ifi. Stkwvrt, I'SQ LvObert Graham, Bsq. (With power to add to their number.) BANKERS: Bank of Australasia, SOLICITORS : Whitaker and Russell. CAPITAL : £20,000, ia Ten Thousand Shares of £2 each. 10a. on application, 10s. on allotment, and the balance in calls of 5-f. per share on 21 days' notice. ' ' BKOKELIS: U. W. Massey ; Lylk and Torroy. 1. This Company is formed for the purpose of proTiding the means of lighting the Towns of Shortland and Umham'a Town with Gas, and thus supplying a want much felt; in both townships. 2. The Directors have been promised an admirable site for the proponed works, close to the beach, railway between the two townships ; where, by running cut an iin-xpensive wharf, the delivery of plant, coals, &c. f can be secured at the very lowest rates. 3. It is reasonable to suppose tha£, from the xinexample'd development of this district since its opening the present detaohed townships will pyeufcu^Hy become one city .requiring, as it advances ia propp-rity, all the aid of modern civilisation for the benefit of its inhabitants. 4. The Directors therefore propose raising a larger oapital than would suffice for the supply of Gaa to the present population, in order that they may be enabled to meet the increased demand caused by inoreasing consumers. 5. In addition to the large income which may be reasonably expected from the supply of G*s to business houses, a further source of profit may be expected from public lights, wbioh will nsosc likely be erected as soon as a supply of Gas can be relied on. The tale of coke will also, it is presumed, be rery large, that fuel being so well adapted for steam purposes. ?OR^ OF APPLICATION. DIRECTORS QV THE THAMES GAS COMPANY (LIMITED).
