Jn thj's belt of slate country all the bast goLi mines on the West Coast are situated, namely:—Black water, Gbbo. . Progress, Big Biver, Welcome, Alpine, etc., all of which produced coini'der.able quantities of gold in the past, and some of them rank »;ncng thft nest valuable. min.es in Nev Z«tajau<j to-day.

Mr. Meonau is spiijoj: mine manager -in tho Reef'ton vas formerly raunaror pf thjj pucc«j|--t nl Globe, and Blaekwaier mines, and is at present superintendent cf $c Murray &reek and Millerton "' Company's mines. His report, which is most, favorable, :s fully quoted in the advertisem^nt ? The follflwins'nre en« or two extracts taken from hjg jfiport:—"l should class it as easily the tr'ost economically wo - ked mine in the field." "At a. rough estjniate,, in Bight, there are at least "13,00;) toils of payable >re." '!Abuudau(fe pf water power is available." "The ttone should be placed in the battery when the mine is properly developed at under 10s. per ton." Referring to Ne. 6 leef, which is frpm 1.4 to 18 feet in width, ajuj has been driven on for IJ.7* fe<#, be says, "My samples (six\ were taken from the face outwards along the; fp/yti? wall and over the full, width' "pf $is. drive. They showed 'remarkable,'Vafo*, tho average of the §ix being £6 9s. od. per ton." Placing this average akagside his concluding remarks, ft is claimed by the promoters that tlic undertaking should be among the $"l class of mine investments. ' His concluding remarks are: "I fiap confidently assure you that, properly equipped, and under capable management, an average return of sdw*. fe» the, ton would make it a profitable vwture, so favorably is the lode situated for cheap mining." A feature of the. proposition is the fact that the vendors who have spent about £3000 in developing the property, are not asking for ajiy $asb consideration whatsoever, {he people who now come into t&o Ccitnpany aro going to reap" the benefit, and the original investors must joes all that they have put jnto tsLe venture.
