there was water and liberty to work them. ; Your obedient servant, l ' Patrick Gilho?. ■ i Baton River, Oot. 13th, 1888. .' Mr Turnbull. Siv-I have at various times prospeotocl Thomson's Terraces on this river, and always found gold, arid from my experience I be'ieve that there are several leads of gold through the flats and terraces, and it only needs water under high pressure to make them yield a handsome return. All the places where miners could get water on easily have paid well, particularly Ellis's Creek, and Maori Gully and Nuggety Creek, opposite my residence* Any other information I can give I shall be happy to, Tours truly. W.H. Taylor. Opinion of Charles Davey, Esq., Manager of Mont dOr Gold Mining and Sluicing Company, fioss, who has had 20 years experience in alluvial mining. . Ross, 22nd April, 1889. Dear Sir,—When I was in Nelson, in February last, I accompanied yourself and Mr Thomson, upon one occasion, to the land, you have taken up for mining purposes at the Baton, and as you are about forming a oompany to work it, and are desirous of obtaining my opinion, I have much pleasure in stating that I think the land is exceptionally well situated for carrying on extensive sluicing operations-there being plenty of fall and room for tailings—the nature of the gravel and drift being such that giant hydraulic nozzles will dd mest effective v/ork upon it. . When I was there, I tried a prospect and obtained gold, but, as the time at mv disposal was co limited, I did not do sufficient prospecting to enable me to form an estimate of its value as a mining property, but I ob* tamed gold, and I saw where mining had been carried on in years past with most primitive appliances, and where miners have been working recently, and where, I have reason to believe, miners would be now working had not the land been private property. I also saw the place where you had men prospecting, and where you told me you obtained very good gold. The water supply, I feel sure from what I saw, is ample for all requirements. As to the length and cost of race (headrace) lam unable to give an opinion; and, indeed, an opinion from me or any one else, without a survey and a thorough and minute examination and exploration of the country through which it would have to bo coustruoted, 'would be valueless; but I am _of opinion that a race can be constructed giving a fall of fully two hundred feet. —I am, Sir, Youra faithfully, Charles Davey.
