LOCAL INDUSTRY.

ELECTRO-PLATING AND GILDING. An opportunity has been afforded us of visit ing the electro-plating and gilding establish ment of Mr E. H. Featon, at the rear of Mr J. Harris's fancy depository, Queen street, where we witnessed the whole of the process of silver-plating in its several stages being performed. We were agreeably pleased and surprised to see the magic change which came over frames of ancient cruets and delapidated candle sticks after emerging from the silvery bath, and the pristine brightness of antiquated forks and spoons from the hands of the polisher, and we would strongly urge those who have dinpy cruets and doubtful-looking plated ware in use to have them transmognified into clean and lustrous articles, which can be performed at this establishment. There is good reason to believe that the services of an electro-plater in our mid at will be extensively required. Previous to the discovery of this art, when the silver had disappeared from the surfaces of plated articles by long usage, they became aseleas, as there was no process known by which the articles could be re silvered ; whilst now, old articles from which the silver has worn off can be re-plated, and thus rendered equal and in some instauces superior to new. Another portion of the art is shown in depositing gold upon chains, brooches, watcheß, and other articles of jewellery, which require resuscitating to their original Bplendour, and which we are sure will be a great boon to the public to take advantage of to furbish afresh friendly relics and time worn souvenirs. By this process the weight of the article is increased, and the deposite is that of pure gold, different from ! the ordinary plan of $ dipping, which j diminishes the weight, and merely improves i the colour. Before departing from this I subject, we would offer our congratulations to the proprietor of the plating establishment at the success of his manipulations, which we are i assured have been arrived at under great difficulties.

MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.

An adjourned general meeting of the shareholders in the All Nations Gold Mining Company was held this afternoon, at the office of the legal manager, Shortland street, Mr C, J. Stone occupy ing the chair. There were sixteen shareholders present. The Chairman stated the object for ■which the meeting had been called, namely, to take into consideration the advisability of amalgamating with the Long Drive Company. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The Chairman stated that the Junction Company was quite willing to amalgamate with the All Nations Gold Mining Com pany, and. take over three-sixths of the shares allotted to that company. Mr T. Russell said that after mature consideration he had decided to vote against amalgamation with the Long Drive unless they could amalgamate upon equal terms, then he would be glad to vote for it.

Mr William Earl thought that the amalgamation should be gone on with preliminary to further amalgamation taking in the Inverness, Kuranui, etc., He could not understand why Mr Eussell wished to back out of it now. Mr Russell said he did not wish to back out; if the majority of shareholders wished for amalgamation he would make no objection, but still he did not wish to see this done.

Mr Beveridge failed to see what benefit would be derived from amalgamation with the Long Drive. The All Nations was one of the best claims, and the Long Drive was not paying much at present. He would object to the amalgamation taking place. Mr Earl was asked what were the pros-

pects of the Long Drive. That gentleman, inreply, said that the prospects of the claim in question had been fully discussed at the last meeting. Mr Shepherd also objected to amalga mation. He said the All Nations shares were at present worth £18 15s per share, —in all £15,400 ; whereas the Long Drive shares were only worth £9 per share, or £10,800 in all. The All Nations was looking blue just now, but in a month or so he believed it would look up. He would most strongly object to amalgamation on any terms at present. Colonel Balneavis would be in favor of amalgamation if both claims were toge ther, but there was another claim separat ing the two. In the present state of affairs he would vote against it. Some further discussion took place on the subject, the majority seeming not to be in favour of amalgamation. I^The resolution proposed at the last meeting was then put: —" That this meet ing is in favour of amalgamation between the All Nations and Long Drive on equal terms." The Chairman explained that an equal number of shares were to be divided among the shareholders, and each company to pay off their liabilities, and commence afresh, if amalgamation was agreed to. A show of hands was taken, with the following rest: —In favour of amalgama tion. 7 ; against it, 9. Mr Macffarlane then demanded a poll, the result of which was as follows : —For amalgamation, 560 ; against it, 598. # The -Resolution was therefore lost by a majority oiT3B votes. The meeting then terminated.
