On Wednesday, the 30th inst., at noon the whole of the valuable property, plant, &c. in connection with the Champion Copper Mining Company of New Zealand, now in liquidation, will be offered for sale at Messrs Sharp & Sons' auction room?. Since the Company has sfcopjwd working the official liquidatpr has taken good care that the whole of the plant has been kaplfc in good order and in proper repair, and to sljqw wfrat can ba done two men alone have taken .out &ud stacked some 70 or 60 ton 3of comparatively pure copper from the Champion workings. Jt is to be hoped that whoever may be fortunate enough to secure this valuable property it will ftoou be at work again, but should it only be bought for speculation the buyer will have a valuable security in the large quantity of machinery, plant, engines, and stock ; that these alone are of considerable value anyone can estimate without even a visit to the mine, seeing that over X.30,000 was spenj; upon plant &c. to bring things into working order. The long inventory can be seen at Mr Bayfoilij'fl or the auctioneers' offices. The return quoit match Town v.
