I have very great pleasure in announcing to my many friends and customers, both in Auckland and throughout tho Colony of New Zealand, that, having made exceedingly favourable and satisfactory arrangements, and being now free from the heavy responsibility and liabilities which, till lately, burdened me, I am again fairly started in ray Old Works, with its entire and extensive plant (which is not equalled in the Colony). I take this opportunity of sincerely thanking my many friends and customers, who have kindly shown their sympathy during the troubled times I have had to pass through, liko many others, during the past two years, and for their patronage during the 29 years I have carried on the ENGINEERING BUSINESS in Auckland ; and, in soliciting a continuance of their favours, I assure them that, in future, any orders entrusted to me shall still be executed in my old FIRST-OLASS STYLE AND OF THE VERY BEST MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP, And through my now favourable position, at the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES. My Large Stock of Valuable Patterns, which has been accumulating for inoro than a quarter of a century, gives me a great advantage in supplying the wants of Auckland and tlio Thames. SAWMILL MACHINERY. Having manufactured and fitted up Machinery for some of the largest Sawmills in the Colony, made Heavy Planing Machines, Moulding Machines, Light and Heavy Deal Frames, as well as supplying Machinery for tho smaller and less expensive mills. MARINE AND LAND ENGINES. We have made and fitted up (on board ship) Marine Engines, with Surface Condensers of considerable dimensions, also many Engines for Steam Launches (high pressure), with and without Surface Con densers ; also Land Engines of considerable dimensions, Condensing and non-Condensing. We have a powerful Steam Hammer and a Scrap Furnace, and can make any Shafts or other forgings that are likely to be required here. FLAX MACHINERY. I claim to be the inventor of this process now in use, and which has enabled Flax Dressers to produce a marketable article at a payable price, and thereby establishing an industry which has done, and now is doing, a great amount of good for our Colony. I have in course of construction an improved Flax Machine, which I invite those Interested to see before ordering any new Machines. I would also draw attention to ray Patent Drum Dresser, which is a simple and inexpensive Machine for dressing up the beaters on the drums now in use, and is exceedingly useful, saving flies and getting the beaters on the drums into a true state with a very few minutes' application. I also make duplicate parts for all Flax Machines now in use, at lowest prices. BOILER MACHINERY. Having made arrangements for the taking down of my Boiler-making Plant at Mechanics' Bay, and its re-erection in Stanley-street, and having, amongst other good Machinery, a powerful Steam Rivetting Machine, I will shortly be in a position to execute orders for either Land or Marine Boilers of any dimensions, of the latest and best construction and I here again assure my customers that I will meet the requirements of the times by giving the VERY BEST OF MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP in ail work that I undertake, at the lowest possible prices. MINING MACHINERY Is a department of our business which I have given special attention to. I MADE AND FITTED UP THE FIRST STAMPER BATTERY ON THE THAMES GOLDFIELD, and with it tho first Single Stamper with a large Berdan attached, for crushing specimens aud testing small lots of quartz, which plant was purchased from mo by the Kuranui Gold Mining Company. Since then I have made and supplied many of the largest Battery plants erected on the Thames Goldflold, and havo the pattern of all sized Stamper Batteries, Berdans, etc I Fraser's Improved Grinding and Amalgamating Mill for Gold and Silver Ores, etc. , But I would here specially call the attention of all who are interested in our golfields to my mprovetl Mining Machinery, viz. FRASER'S PATENT IMPROVED CONTINUOUS GRINDING AND AMALGAMATING MILL with my registered "Silent Central Overflow," for tho treatment of gold and silver ores, which will save from 80 to 100 per cent, of the gold contained in the ore, and which, I feel sure, will supply tho want long felt ill our goldflolds (especially where poor ores exist, and where fine crushing is absolutely required), in fact, a cheap method whereby the gold and silver can be separated and saved from tho raw ore. By the adoption of this Mill the necessity for Copper Plates, Blanket Tables, and Berdans, with the expensive attendants, are not required, and are entirely dispensed with. It also does away with the necessity for tailing pits and tho labour attached to tho emptying of them, etc. A Battery of five stamps (say, wt each) and two oft Continuous Grinding Mills, fitted with my registered Silent Central Overflow and tho Patent Syphon and Cup for quicksilver, attached, is capable of reducing from twelve to fifteen \ tons of ordinary quartz in twenty-four hours to a degree of fineness far surpassing any Berdan crushing I and without any loss of quicksilver. Tho Stamper Box should bo placed quite close to the Mills discharging direct into them. Tho screens on Stamper Box do not require to be finer than i-inch mesh, as the Mill quite easily reduces from that sizo to tho greatest degree of fineness necessary. The lip of overflow is 103 inches in circumference, which ' allows of a large quantity of water being used without the danger of carrying away the fine gold. Each Mill is charged with from 1001b to 1501b quicksilver, and by using the Syphon and Cup, which is attached to the bottom of the Mill, the manager or superintendent can draw off at any time, without stopping the Mill, 80 per cent, of the quicksilver, and squeeze tho amalgam therefrom and return the silver to the Mill (an easy matter compared to cleaning up Copper Plates and attending to Blanket Tables). The Syphon can be boxod in and kept under lock and key. I HERE, WITHOUT HESITATION, STATE THAT MY IMPROVED MILL WILL REDUCE DOUBLE THE QUANTITY OF RAW ORE OR TAILINGS TO THE GREATEST DEGREE OF FINENESS AND SAVE MORE GOLD THAN ANY MILL OR PAN I KNOW OF. I cordially invite all Mine and Battery Owners and Managers to call at our WORKS, STANLEYSTREET, where they can see the Mill at work, and judge for themselves. I am prepared to provido plans and give estimates of the ost of erection of simple, cheap, an effective Plants suitable for our goldfiolds. I TESTING PLANT. I have erected at the WORKS, STANLEY-STREET, a COMPLETE TESTING PLANT, WITH LABORATORY attached, where all ores to be treated are first crushed dry and passed through a half- y inch riddle, from which samples are taken, and assays made, and the value of the ore ascertained, before it is put into the Mill, thus finding out the true percentage of gold saved by any appliances.
