Watmouth, Public Accountant, Auditor. •Auckland, 23rd August, 1873. On the motion of Mr J. Bennett the balance sheet was taken as read. The Chairman in moving the adoption of ' the report said:—We meet you to-day under very different circumstances to those of the past year. We were then in the full tide of prosperity and receiving substantial divi dends. Very soon, however, our yield fell off, and dividends became a thing of the past. We thus entered upon a period of difficulty, requiring the utmost vigilance to keep down expenses, and tide over an adverse season. Difficulties seldom come alone. _ While grap pling with heavy expenses in connection with the united pumping scheme we were compelled first to desist sinking our main ' shaft; then when the large engine began to drain our mine gas became generated to such an extent as to drive us entirely from our lower level. To add to our difficulties our large supply of tailings, which we had always looked upon as a standby in case of need, proved of trifling value compared to that at which they had been estimated., I assure you, gentlemen, it was hard work to keep a balance to our credit. I trust, however, these times have passed away ; our mine is mow drained. Thirty-seven feet more sink ing * r will give us a level to work out the whole of the Caledonian mine. Winzes are i being carried down on the underlie of the reef, and the mine will soon be thoroughly opened up as far as > our main shaft. These remarks refer of; "course to No. 1 reef, and the leader in con p, nection with it. We know nothing of. that portion of our mine shewn on the plan as un explored, and we know nothing comparatively of Ho 2 reef ; where we have touched it it has not proved payable. It is useless for me to speculate on the future. Gold has been found on three several occasions in No. 3 winze, and we cannot tell he moment when gold in large quantities may be struck. It is of great importance that we are proving gold exists in the mine at our lowest depths; We have large reefs and large quantities of stuff that can be raised at little expense. We have a large and efficient battery in perfect order. We only need to come upon an average run of gold to enable us again to be 1 in receipt of regular and substantial divi-< denda. ~ , ■ ''■■'; ■! A shareholder asked a question which was. ?On the Chairman requesting the gentleman to, speak up, Mr J. M. Lenuox said he be lieved the gentleman wished for what a great many of them wished for—viz., an explana tion of the mine manager's telegram that ""Gold had been found in No. 3 winze, and no mistake." , , L- , I The Chairman said he was glad to hear the question asked. , He had investi gated the affair, and he would giver them the result of his investigations, and it; would be for them to say if they were satis fied.' It appeared that gold had been found oa three occasions in No. 3 winze. On the nrst occasion a single spot was found, but it was not satisfactorily ascertained where it came ; from". A second show was found ma small leader two inches wide, branching offfrom the j main reef. When a', shot iwas put m gold was seen in several places on the face, and a ■econdshot also showed some gold distinctly visible. The manager then, thinking he was justified' in doing so, sent the unfortunate telegram. Under the circumstances he (the Chairman) thought the manager was per tedtly right in sending it, and he hoped the meeting would consider he had not exceeded his duty. ,. * ,■ ,' - A Shareholder : Yes; he did his duty for the directors to get a rise out of the mine. Mr Stone said the interests of the direc tors were identical with those of the share holders. ' The adoption of the report and statement of accounts was then seconded by Mr Hay, and carried. ~ Mr SomervOJe proposed, and Mr Alexander BMonded.thatMr Wardrop be elected director in the place of MrW. Hay. , Th« election of Mr Wardrop wad carried with acclamation. A Tote.pf .thanks to the Chairman termi nated the prdceedingß. ...

He commenced about four years ago without , capital, and had been losing money fora long time, but. hoped business would improve and enable, him to retrieve his liabilities/ This never came about. In June, the liabilities were £1,861 5s 9d, and assets, £974 Od 7d; apparent- deficiency, '£887 5s r2d, but this did not show the bankrupt's true position, for the book debts realised £336 less than appeared on the statement. The' stock was also sold at £218 below what it was valued at. The actual deficiency was £1,341 10s 3d. Thirteen creditors had proved. ~ Bankrupt was examined, and deposed that he started business under the auspices of Mr J. S. Macfarlane, who. was aware at the time that he was without .means.
