THE WAITEKAURI MINE

Our illustration this week is of special interest, as it gives an idea of a mine that is expected to do as much for the Waitekauri district as the Waihi has done for Waihi, or the Hauraki for Coromandel. The view gives some idea of the work being done by the great Waitekauri Company. The fact that fully 400 men are at present on the pay-sheet of this company will also show the value of these large English companies to the wage earning community. For something like a quarter of a century Waitekauri was, comparatively speaking, neglected, but when the Waihi Company plainly demonstrated the fact that low grade ore could be worked to pay a handsome profit, it caused attention to be turned to this hitherto neglected district. Soon afterwards the rich discoveries in the Komata and Golden Cross mines took place, and about 18 months ago the Waitekauri Company was formed in London to take over the.'e mines. Since that time a large staff of men have been kept in constant employment erecting a 40stamper battery, excavating kilns for roasting the ore,constructing water races, and tunnelling in the mines. Daring that period the small ten-stamper battery at the Golden Cross mine has been crushing the ore won from that section of the property, the average value of the ore treated being from £4 18s 4d per ton to £f> 12s gd, one month alone being as low as £y 10s. The new

battery is now about ready to commence work, so that before long ore from the various sections of the property will be treated in much larger quantities. In the picture may be seen the excavation for the kilns at the end of the small spur at the left hand side, and just below near the centre are the battery buildings. The gable-ended building to the left is the new schoolhouse, and the square building nearer the front is the office of the Company. Below the battery are the cottages of the miners. From the battery running up the hill may be seen the tramway of the Golden Cross section. Some idea of the magnitude of the operations may be gained from the fact that this tramway is seven miles in length. The circular sketch in the corner is a general view of Karangahake taken from the Jubilee Hill, Waitekauri. Up this gully are situated the young New Zealand, Sovereign, and adjacent properties.
