Tho Gem Mining Association having, In addi tion to tholr original Bootion, just acquired a valuable blook of ground noaror to tho Tokatea worklnga. havo decided to sell Throe Reserved Shares at £75 each to augment the present Rssorvo or Working Fund, The new ground has noon looked up for some timo by parties «ot working it, and Is within 130 feet of tho first rise in tho Bifmarok and Tokatea low levol, where the first oatoh of specimens was got after tho No. 7 l_ovol wo* put Is, Tho Tokatea roef runs into and through the oentre of tho Gem •rouad ; near the boundary there are bioks from tho Tokatea low level of about 800 feet lntaot to the Burfaco of tho Gem Ground. The money derived from the Sale of tho Shares will, without resorvation.be applied (together wikh the Fund, now in tho Bank of New Zoaland) to worktsg on tho root thus rioh gold may at any moment bo Btmo„, and Shareholders m.y actually recolvo their own money back with dividends from the mine. The Tokatea pro duced £132,000 worth of gold without making a call; and now that a Now Section of tholr cele brated roof is to be opened up, similar results it is hoped, will accrue. Tho price asked for the Gem Promoters.Sharos 1b merely nominal (repre senting 1b 6d per share it in a comranj), and in vestor, have the gratlflo»tlon of knowing that tho whols of the money goes to work tho ground. An important featnro in the position of this ground is, that ono of the greatest shots of gold worked in tho Tokatea in its most brilliant days dipped to tho fust with the spur, was cut in tho Bismarck, and gave them their biggest hauls of specimens, and lis courso is now tracoablo into this unworked and, porhaps, hlthorto undis covered scotion of ono of tho most renownod roofs in tho colony. Cheap Crushing Power is tho most important auxiliary to quartz-niintng osoratlons, and the Gem is better off in this respect than any other claim, having the Tokatea battery on its boundary, whllo the Blsiuarok battery, acknowledged to bo tho bost and most powerful on tho gold-told, is at no groat distanoo, and tho tramway to tho latter runß through tho Gem ground. Both theso plants aro available when required. The Mining Surveyor's report and plan may bo roforrod to, showing that tho courso of tho roef for 880 foet Is through the Gem ground. Twelve shares are alroady taken ud; throe are now offered, as stated (oaoh l-16th, at £75), and a fourth share is rosorvod, at £200, to meet future con-ingenclo-, 1- required, and prevent tho pos sibility of a call.

THU ESTIMATED COST OF THK BUILD ING is not calculated to exceed £8,000. leaving £2 000 lor conlin. encies. and it is tho intention ot tho promoters to borrow the sum of £5,000 upon tne building. By this mf ans the actual capital required ot tho Shareholders will not exceed £in.ooo, and thns tho i refit on the undertaking will bo luuoh larger than if the whole amount wore o_lled up. The promoters have not thought it necessary to appoint provisional directors, leaving the appointment to the shareholders themselves. Applications for shares will be received by the company's brokers up to Saturday, 18th March, .882.
