Late Advertisements. XT B W ZEALAND INSUEANOE, MINING J3I AND FINANCE JOURNAL. PROPOSED NEW DEPARTMENT Of " THE NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE AND FINANCB JOURNAL," j Which will hereafter be named "THE NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE, MINING, AND FINANCE JOURNAL." Arrangements have been made with the Proprietor of " The New Zealand Insurance and Finance Journal," which has a very large New Zealand circulation, steadily increasing during the past five years, to devote a special department of the Journal to MININU vid ENGINEERING matters. The size of the Journal will be largely increased, and ample space given to these important interests, aud advertisers will have the advantage of bringing their goods directly under the notice of those who are moit likely to purchase. Energetic steps are being taken to push the new journal on the Goldfields of the Colouy. The advantage to advertisers of having their goods brought at once under the notice of the very classei in the Colony to which they especially appeal will be readily understood. The present subscribers to the Journal are widely distributed throughout New Zealand and Australia, and their number will be largely increased under the new management. Contributions will be obtained from gentlemen in the Colony and Australia, who, having been intimately aud practically connected with the Mining Industry for many years, have special information on all mining subjects. These will be supplemented, with the consent of the Minister of the Mines, by contributions from officers of the Mining departments on subjects which they have had special opportunities of studying. Contributions will also be received from several of the Professors of Chemistry, Metallurgy, Mineralogy, and Mining in the Universities and Schools of Mines of the Colonies. The advantage of having a journal in London, New Zealand, and Australia devoted to Mining matters, and the importance of early and reliable information regarding new discoveries of auriferous ground, improved mining appliances, &c, and generally bringing into a focus all Mining news, cannot be overestimated. Without such an organ the Mining Industry of the Colony will not keep pace with that of other countries. The prosppct of an early revival in Mining long prophesied and long delayed seems now on the eve of becoming an accomplished fact. The time is opportune, therefore, for supplying information to miners and capitalists interested in Mining pursuits. Attempts may probably be made to float all sorts of Mining ventures— good, bad, and indifferent. The disastrous results whioh have followed in the past on unguided and ill-conceived Mining speculations are but too well known. Great injury has been done to I bona fide Mining Investments through the floating, if not of bogus companies, at all events of companies so saddled with payments to promoters or original shareholders as to make intrinsically good ventures pan out with most unsatisfactory results. This has been the experience of but too many who have had anything to do with Mining speculations during the past 20 years. The Journal will inquire into the details of every Mining venture offered to the public. All information obtained will bo made known in its columns, and the investing public will as far as practicable be assisted in arriving at a correct estimate of the risks and prospects of succttr! Whenever the interests of the public require it, tne proprietors of the Journal will fearlessly expose anything in the nature of a swindle, or any attempt to load a oompdny beyond its reasonable carrying capacity. Arra igements have been made to open a London office, and an agent will be appointed whose special duty it will be to forward early information regarding all improvements in Mining Machinery aud appliances or Gold-saving Apparatus, with drawings and full description of all patents applied for in connection with Mining pursuits. In order that miners and others may be aware of the market value of ores found more or less abundantly throughout the Colony, the quotations of the London Metal market will be given monthly, and the extent of the demand Indicated. The importance of having early and reliable information as to new inventions and details of what is going on in the chief centres of Mining throughout the world is self-evident. It has long been generally admitted that New Zealand is far behind other Mining countries. It will be one of the objects of the Journal to keep the Mining community in the Colony abreast of the rest of the world, and no pains or expense will be spared to accomplish this. The length of time which has hitherto elapsed before improvements made elsewhere have found their way into the Colony has been very noticeable. This haß principally arisen through the difficulty experienced in obtaining trustworthy information. A large number of Loudon and Australian capitalists interested in New Zealand Mines have given in their names »b subscribers to the Journal. Advertisements wilh Wood Cuts, giving full details and price list of Machinery and Mining Appliances generally manufactured by the principal firms in Britain, America, Australia, and New Zealand, will appear regularly in the advertising columns. Synopsis of subjects which will form the main features of the Journal : — 1. Leading Articles on subjects of general interest to the Mining community. 2. Special Reports by an expert on all Mining ventures offered to the public. 3.
