The amount arising from this preliminary payment is to be devoted to defraying expenses ror registration, &c, purcLa.-'e of the claim?, and one-third, equivalent to £375, will be handed over to the Directors, when appointed, for the purpose of starting mining operations. La mta-oducing this mining venture to the favourable notice of the public, tfee promoters would direct attention to the situation of the property".' It is, as w rilJ be seen by reference to the annexed plan, favourably situated for the s&rike and underlie of the well-known Piako and BirfL-in-Hand reefs. It adioins the Piako Company's Mine on the west side, find the reels which are now being worked so successfully in the latter must strike through the new Com pe.ny'3 ground. It is well known that the reefs of this district improve in size and quality as they are followed towards the Union Claim, and this theory has been satisfactorily proved by the present opera tions Of the Piako Company. As there is a very great prob-Vbility that satis factory arrangements may be uit;de with some of She adjoining < "on>T>anies for permission to work through their mines, and for hoisting. &c., the promoters do not anticipate th.'-it more than a small portion of the Capital will be required. The Claim comprises an area o? ii men's ground. Applications will be received through any of the broker, at the Thames or in Auckland, until 15th. September, 1577, BOBERT HORNE, Secretai y.
