A DIFFICULT YEAR.
Hokitika Prospecting Association. REVIEW OP OPERATIONS. (Special to the “ Star.”) HOKITIKA, January 14. A review of the year’s working of the Hokitika Prospecting Association was made by the committee last evening. The balance-sheet showed receipts amounting to £92, and expenditure to £B4. “It has been a difficult year,” said the president, Mr A. H. Lawn. “ The association’s activities mainly have been due to public subscriptions, which indirectly were responsible for this association receiving, recognition in the recent art union. The money received in subscriptions was expended over a wide area, and the results have shown certain localities to be definitely non-bearing. This advice will be of much assistance in the administration of the £333 received from the art union.” The secretary, Mr N. Warren, recommended that a committee be set up to consider likely areas for prospecting, and that these be submitted to the Minister of Mines for approval. When this was done, he said, parties could be invited to prospect these areas.
The matter was deferred until a general meeting, to be held next week.
