BISMARCK AND FRENCH REPUBLIC GOLD MINING COMPANY'S ANNUAL MEETING.

The first annual meeting of this company was held this morning in the large room of the Insurance buildings, Mr Fred. Woollams in the chair. There was a good attendance of shareholders.

The legal manager read the following directors' and mine manager's report and balance sheet:—

DIRECTORS' REPORT.

The directors have much pleasure in laying before the shareholders the first annual report and balance-sheet, showing the results of company's operations during the past year. The company was registered oiigjhe 25th October, 1871, and for six months after that

date, owing to the low state of its funds," only a few men were employed in the mine. lugh the month of April the first rich patch of 7X^,i >cc™ens was come across, and since then ..operations have been carried on more ex tensively. The Mine Manager's Report, and the working plan of the mine, will *show that a large amount of dead work has been done, and that the whole of the leader above the present low level is now all but thoroughly opened up and ready for stoping. The development of the mine has been very much retarded by the difficulty of getting quartz to the battery. The main level being upwards of 250 feet below the Government

tramway, your Directors could not, at any reasonable cost, provide means for raising the stone, and consequently the crushings have until lately, been confined to specimens. The Tokatea Company, however, some short time ago constructed a tramway to their new low level, and this being within 90 feet of your company's paddock your directors determined to erect a wire tJ-imway to con nect with the Tokatea terminus. The line was finished about six weeks ago, and the first general crushing for the mine, of some 350 tons, has just been complete. The total quantity of stone crushed during the year has been 355 tons, which yielded 2611 ounces of ihelted gold, ecmal to 7 o„s. 7 dwt. per ton, a result which must be highly satisfactory to the shareholders. Dividends equal to 12s per share, and amounting to £4,477, have been paid during the year.

Your directors in the month of July pur chased the Siege of Paris claim for 800 of the company's reserve shares and 100 in cash. This piece of ground gives some 300 feet addi tional on the line of leader, and must enor mously enhance, the value of the company's property.

Mr Bennett is erecting a» powerful battery on the Kennedy's, Bay side of the range, which will enable the company to effect a great saving in the cost of crushing. In a fortnight from now the manager will be in a position to take out%loo tons or more weekly, so that a very much increased yield of gold may reasonably be expected during the coming year. • '; ""_' ' Your directors have secured a large num ber of valuable kauri trees, near to Mr Ben net's tramway. These will shortly be available, and will give a- supply of timber ' sufficient for some years to come. Your directors _eel that fcttey have every reason to congratulate the .shareholders on the prospects of the mine. The magnificent yields up.td the present time, the great ad dition length of leader acquired by the pur chase of the Siege of Paris claims, the for ward state of the workings, and the in-® creased crashing facilities likely soon to be available, all warrant them in looking for ward to a bright and prosperous future. Considering the success that has attended their operations, your directors feel that they have some claim upon the shareholders, and they therefore respectfully recommend that the sum of £100 be appropriated as an honorarium for their services during the past year.

According to the rules of the Company all the directors • retire from office at this meet ing. Yon will; therefore, have to elect new directors. Two auditors for the enusing year should also now be appointed. F. Wooiaams, m 1 Chairman of Directors.

MINE MANAGER'S REPORT.

Gentlemen, —I beg to submit to you, for the information of the shareholders at the approaching annual meeting, the following report on the present state of your mine, and the work which has been done thereon during the past twelve months. . Operations have been confined mainly to the opening up of the mine—that is to say, in extending levels Nos. 4 and 5, and in sinking winzes Nos. 2, 4, 5. The No. 4 level, which at the time of my appaintment as manager had been driven about 200 feet, has since been carried onto the Tokatea boundary. The No. 5 level has also been extended about 215 feet from the upper boundary of the old Siege claim, leaving a little over 100 feet yet to be driven. / ,

Our progress in sinking the di^erent winzes was considerably retarded by the quantity of water we had to contend with. No 4 has been sunk down to the Seige level, and No. 5 is also within a few feet of the required depth. In No. 2, out of which we were swamped some months since, work was resumed a week ago ; and, as th- water can now be very easily kept Under, I think that about a fort night more will enable us to break through to the drive below. As soon as this is done, and the "No. 5 tunnel extended to the boundary, the whole of the dead work in the mine may be said 4o be completed. If the result of'our labour for the year appears somewhat small it *pust be borne in mind that during the first six months of tbfe twelve there were rarely more than three, and never more than six men" employed. The whole of the stone which has yet been crushed was taken from Nb. 4 level, and the workings, connected with it, the extent of which can be seen by referring to the, plan. From No. 5 winze, and the ground stoped out from.it, nearly, the whole of the stone for the first two small crushings was obtained. In the stopes over the Mo. 4 level, and like wise in No. 2 winze, specimens have also been got, an<|,the general appearance and size of the leader in this part of the mine augur most favourably for the future pros pects of the company. lam glad to be able to state that excellent stone has been found in No 5j level also, at a distance of 450 feet from the mouth of the tunnel. *

Of the quality-of stone in the blocks over leveCjJjToa. 1 and 2 it is somewhat hazardous V^^mxe an opinion, but as the quartz can -.■g-^-oUt at a very moderate cost, and as increased facilities for transit and clashing will shortly be available, it is not unreason able to assume that the greater part of it will prove more or less,payable, The wire tramway recently erected work as'well a_ could fairly be expected; bus although the cost of raising the stone .3 by no means excessive, it is nevertheless a consi derable drain upon the yield of the quartz of poorer quality. It will be necessary at an early date to take measures to have the mine developed to a lower depth than that yet reached^ Pro bably it may be premature now to offer sug gestions as to the best method of doing so, but it must also be remembered that although a comparatively small portion of the lode has been disturbed iff any part of the mine, the time required to exhaust the ground already opened resolves itself into a question of mere labour and crashing power, ,

The fact of good stone having been found so low as it has been in No. 5 level induces the belief that the gold may be traced to depths not yet attained in any claim on the field ; and combined with the satisfactory results which may be expected from other parts of the mine, gives to the Company fair promise of a continuous and lengthened career of prosperity.

T. DOUGLAS, Manager. We have compared the above statement of receipt and expenditure w;th the books and vouchers pro; duced and found them correct, leaving a balance in Bank as above of seven hundrefPandninety^one pounds four shillings and eight pence (£791 4s Bd.) H. KIRKWOOD}. A .. t R. Fi DACON ) Auditors. Considerable discussion took place in reference to the clauses recommending-an honorarium to the directors. Several share holders expressed their dissatisfaction at the conduct of two of the directors (Messrs Shepherd and Luks), with reference to "bagging" specimens. These gentlemen justified their conduct. Finally, the adoption of the report in its entirety, was carried upon the casting vote of the chairman. The following gentlemen were elected direc tors for the ensuing year—Messrs Wilson, Russell, Earle, Stone, and Wardrop; %nd Messrs C. Alexander and J. T. Garliok we»e elected auditors.

We fear that sad revelations could be made in England in relation to the making of butter. Strange tales have gone forth, some of which may be exaggerations, still people have need of caution. We hope the colonial settlers' wives will keep to the honest cow, and never be indnced^to ste|> aside from the paths of nature in their dairy work, especially in the making of butter. A little story is told in the Manchester Guardian by ontfexperienced* in butter, a confectioner by trade, who says, "Ihave used from the highest to the lowest quality of butter, and fully proved that some of the low, yet not the lowest,. priced butter was nothing more or less; than grease from horse.s bones out-(fa" knacker's yard, coloured and tasted^^ by drugs and waste butter mixed in. This .is the way I found this out. Using a deair, of cheap butter, I though I would buy this first hand, and by inquiries traced its manufacturer, and after a carouse of glasses, offering to find capital to join in the manu facture of this article, we had partly drawn up articles of terms. I wished to have some idea of profit returns, when 1 was informed it was stewed out of horses' and other bones, the cost of which was 2d. per lb., and sold at Bd. or 9d. per lb. Confec tioners are obliged to taste butter before using it to ascertain which article the quality of butter is fitted to be made into, and upon tasting some butter Ihave heaved at the stomach, and spit about the place for hours after. I* have tasted the adulteration of butters in various ways, also lards, and found them heavily adul terated with farina, flour, also what is tailed shodda, white India meal boiled, and with mineral substances ; and h_ve found lard most impudently laden with ground rice. Time forbids, or I could further disclose upon this dirty butter traffic."
