WAITEKAURI CONSOLIDATED.

Amongst the illustrations this week are four views taken from the Waitekauri Consolidated Company's property, which gives a capital idea of the nature of the country in which mining is carried on in this district. The Waitekauri Consolidated Company (Ltd.) was formed in London for the purpose of acquiring the Burbank mine, an area of between sixty and seventy acres near the Waitekauri Company’s property, and adjoining the Waitekanri Union Company’s claims. Since the, formation of the Company development works have been vigorously pushed ahead. In one view may be seen the staff of men employed at the mine congregated around the month of the Burbank tunnel. A very pretty view is the one showing the mining camp, situated on the edge of a gorge, and showing the tramway following the windings of the creek. From its excellent situation the Waitekauri Consolidated Company’s property should in the future take its place amongst the regular bullion-producers of the Upper Thames.
