WAIOTAHI GOLD MINING COMPANY.

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the above company was convened for 2 p.m. yesterday, at the office of the secretary (Mr. White), Shortland-street, but at the hour appointed a quorum was not present. We append the balance-sheet and tbe mine manager's report. From tbe former we gather that, during the year ending June 30, the output from the mine bas been 1540 tons of quartz, yielding 25470z5. of gold, of the value of £6940, which has enabled the directors to pay all working expenses and declare a dividend of 2s per share aud iorm a reserve faed of £1000, carrying forward a balance of £1315. Since tiie end of the financial year a further dividend of 3s per share has been paid, amounting to £900, and tbe present balance is £415 and reserve fund £1000. The following is the report and balance-sheet:— Thames, July 29,1878. The Directors : Gentlemen, — I have the honour to submit my report for your annual meeting, shewing the diffeirair •perations carried"on in your miue durii% flu last twelve months. Main Shaft.—sSo feet of drives have been put in on the different lodes met with, and about 500 fathoms stoped out—4oo on the No. 5 lode and 100 on the No. 4 lode, all of which has been good payable dirt. 1540 tons of quartz have been crushed, for the satisfactory return of 25470za. of gold. No. 4 Lode. —This is a new lode, not having it in the old level, and has proved to be a very good one. It is now nearly all taken out, but leaves good prospects for another lovel. No. 5 Lode. —This reef is very much improved on this level. It is still changeable in its character, but nothing like it was in the No. 1 level. The dirt crushed has been more regular, and much better returns obtained. I have one more good block to take out on the cast of cross cut, and a larger block on the west of cross-cut, but I do not expect the lode to turn out as well. IJ_havo over six months' profitable work yet on the lode. I.We. 6 Lode.—l have not done very much prospecting on this lode, but what I have crushed was not payable. lam still driving on it, for it is taking me in tho direction to cut No. 7 lode, which is the Cure Company No. 6— a reef we have never tried yet. I intend to have this lode in hand before the No. 5 is worked out, and should it prove payable, it will take the placo of No. 5, for it will turn out a lot of crushing dirt. I mot with a small leader in the footwall of this lode, which proved to be very good, a few foot from the junction, and it might continue upwards. Big Waiotabi Reef.—l havo not given thia lode a fair trial yet, for many reasons. In the summer I had no water for the battery, and of late the ground is so heavy on the timber in No. 5 that I must take that out first to the east. I have driven 16 feet into this reef, and no signs of the footwall yet. I have taken out several trial crushings, and I find the centre of the lode is tho best dirt; it looks tho best, but I have not seen any gold in it in cutting through. The first trial on the hangingwall crushed sdwts. to the ton. The second was from the centre, which gave lldwts. to the ton. The last was from the foot wall portion, which only went sdwts. I think by selecting about four feet of it in the centre it will pay expenses, perhaps more, and the chances are it will make good gold in places, or when another lode strikes into it. I have not yet met with the old footwall leader, but I think I shall do so when I give N 0.,3 a trial. I have several small leaders cut through yet untried in the footwall of No. 4, find other parts of the mine, which, I think, will prove to be payable, so that I think the present level will last another twelve or eighteen months. At the same time, I shall suggest the advisability of sinking the main shaft for an other level, about Christmas, when the surface water will not be near as bad as it is at the pre sent time. I am very pleased to be able to in form you that yowr mine promises far better prospects for another level than it did for the present one, and I had every reason to believe that the present one would be better than the old one, -which it has proved to bo already ; and I think you will be able to pay another divi dend again shortly, for I shall have another good return again this month. Battery.—The usual amount of repairs have been done to keep it and the machinery in good working order. The stack has been altered to get more draft—4 feet taken oft the top, and 15 feot more added to it, —which has proved to be a great saving of fuel, and the boiler keeps a good supply of steam, which, it did not do before. The Nos. 1, 2, and 3 boxes will have to be replaced by new ones about Christmas. This work can be done when the shaft is being sunk for another level.—l am, &c, J. E. Smith. PnOi'.T AND LOSW ACCOUNT.

Report on a Sample of Imperial fechledam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a i»pan*te r«port, show that this spirit is of goo* streist**i, practically free from acidity, and i that it contains but traces of solid matter in ! solution. It possesses a deliewtc and agroeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste.

The following is striking evidence of the won derful effects of tho Blood Restorer, after all other means have failed to euro :— Rokeby-street, Auckland, Ist December, 1877. Mr.HiTcnKNS,— Dear Sir,—l have to thank you very much for the benefit I have received through using your valuable Blood Restorer, and aa a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particulars of my illness and cure. Some months ago I was taken ill with pains in the back, sup posed to be lumbago. So far from being bene fitted by tbe attendance of medical men, I grew rapidly worse, and the pain became agonising. Ono day my husband had in his hand a portion of an old Auckland Evening Star, containing your professional announcement of the medicine and ita cures. The paper was of a back date, and the advertised agent's address, a Chemist in Wellesley-street. My husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood Restorer, but the Chemist used sucb illnatured remarks to dissuade us from testing the virtue of the medicine, that we felt there was some spite at work, and deter mined more than ever to give it atrial. The pleasing result of the trial was, that after taking it a week, I felt wonderful relief; before many bottles were taken, I was not only liberated from a sick room, but felt in perfect health; appetite was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you were at hand to provide the means of my rapid cure, and enable me once more to attend to my household duties. Yours very gratefully, Mrs. Walter Knox. To Mr. Hitchens, Upper Wakefleld-atroet J3ETERS' UVKRY & BAIT STAPLE S TAURANGA.
