It ia, as will bo seen by reference to th? annexed p'avs, farournbly situated for the strike and underl.'e rvf the well-known Piako and Bird-in-Hand reefs. It adjoins the Piako Company's Mine on the west side, find the reefs which are now being . -orked so successfully- in. the latter must strike through the new Com pany's ground. It is well known that the reefs of this district improve in size and qua;::;.- as; they are followed towards the Union Claim, and this theory has been satisfactorily proved by ihe present opera tions of the Piako" Company. As there is a very great prob ibHity thst satis factory arrangements may be made with some of the adjoining ['ovrvanios fo- permission to work through tiieir mines, nnd for hoisting, &c, the promoiers do net anticipate that mere than a small portion of the Capital will be required.
