Fisher, George Knox, E. Melland, G. A. Hunter, and R. Cormack (of Roxburgh). Mr W. Vivian was appointed auditor. The meeting was largely attended, and after the usual routine business had been disposed of, Mr Patrick Riordan, one of the vendors — who is a practical miner of many years' experience — gave a description of the claim, and explained his plan of working the ground. The
engineers (Messrs Cutten Bros.) have the general plans of the dredge well forward, and expect very shortly to call for tenders.
