SotrcrrOßS : Messrs HAGGIXT BROS. & BBIONI, Engineer : Mr EDWARD ROBERTS. Brokers : Messrs QUICK & SMITH. Interim Secretary: Mr C. S. LEARY (of Barr, Leary, and Co). This Company is projected to acquire and work mining areas, and in particular a mining urea on the Clutha river, about half a mile above the township of Clyde. Mr Leslie I). Margeorge, C.E., has visited the ground, and his independwit report, which has bf«n made at tho request of Messrs Quick and Smith, on behalf of the pro-, posed Company, is appended hereto, es is also the report of Mr Sheohy to tbe Vendors. The plan of the claim and the proposed Memorandum of Association of the Company can be seen at the offica of the Brokers. It is proposed' to work the claim by a steam dredge with all the latest improvements." An . elevator will not fee required. : Tbe mining area which tbe Company is formed ' to acquire consists of almost a mile of the river, and contains 41 acres 3 roods 16 poles, being Section 94, Block I, and Section 143, Block 11, Leaning Rock district. The subscribers to the Memorandum of Asso. ciation will act as Pirectots until the fits! statutory meeting of shareholders, which in re-. quired to bo held within four months of thj : registration of the Company, and will prepare, : settle, and register A rticlee of Association in such . terms as they consider desirable. . The whole of tho river between Clyde and Alexandra has of late years been taken up for dredging claims, and it is known that in almost ' every instance rich returns are being secured. The claim is the first natural basin of mada ground below tbe Cromwell Goree, and owing-.to tbe gorge and the configuration of tbe'eonntry, the . river must have always (lowed over the claim, : ■' and the vast deposits of " Moiyuenx gold " on the Bunstan Flat awl right ilinvn past the Island Block must have pass's'! ov,;r the claim. . As the current of tho river is impeded by a line of rocks which cross the river at tbe lower end of the claim, a large quantity of sold must necessarily have been left with the gravel and othei deposits, and there cannot be a risk of the rivei having, run in another course at the time it waa ' bearing auriferous deposits. . That gold does exist in large quantities within the ares of this claim hxa besn frequently proved by the returns obtained by cradling whenever ths river is low. • . . Special attention is directed to the fact that the • Vendors' shares receive no dividends until the ' subscribing shareholders have been recouped the amount of their outlay. ■ Th« Vendors' agreement in dated the Sixth day of February IS9B. and ia made between Septimus Edward Brent, Joseph Cox, and Robert Stewart, ■ of the oue part, and .k'dniund Robinson Smith; on beliali of the .Company, of the other part. This agreement may be seen at tbe Brokers' office. The cost- of floating, df engineer's report, nnd oi incorporation will te liorne by tlie Company. ~ Copies of Prospectus, with Application Forms, can be obtained from the Brokers. ..-. 121 Business AnnouncementsJ.

Translated from tbe German by John HOUGB7BN This Book is a history of the life and work of the Rev. J. F. H. AVuhlere, Missionary at Ruapuke, written by himself—the orijrinal work having been published in Bremen in 1883. Coming to Now Zealand in 1843, he established himself a3 ft missionary amongst tho Maoris at Ruapuke. He converted communities (to use Ms own words) of loathsome savages, sunk in poverty and degradation, into communities of ■ prosperous, civilised human beings, receiving for many years no remuneration whilst so doing, but producing his own food out of the soil, and ; teaching the Maoris to do the same after a -.'•■ ■~ civilised manner; thus saving people's sonls and tlieir bodies as well. He preserved and fully records tho old Maori mythology (a anulima one), Hie custodians of which all died before his own ; liiiiiise.
