The Gem Mining Association having, in addi tion to their original seotlon, just aoquireda valuable blook of ground nearer to the Tokatoa workings, hava docided to sell Three Reserved Shares at £75 each to augmont the present Reserve or Working Fund. The new ground has been locked up for some time by parties not working it, and fs within 130 feet of tho flint rise In tho Biimorck and Tokatoa low level, where the first natch of specimens was gotaf tor tho No. 7 Levol was put In. The Tokatoa reof runii Into and through tho centre of the Gem Ground ; ntar the iwund&ry there ar« backs from tho Tokatea low level of about 300 feok intact to tho surfaco of tho Gem Ground. The money derived from tho Sale of tho Shares will, without roßorvation. bo applied (together wiih the Fnnd, now in tho Bank of Now Zealand) to working on the roof, thnß rich gold may at any moment be struok, and Shareholders may uotunlly recolve tholr own money back with dividends from tho mlno. Tho Tokatoa pro duced £132,000 worth of gold without making a oall; and now that a New Seotion of tholr cele brated reof Is to be opened np, similar results it is hoped will accrue. The prlco asked for the Gem Proraotors,Bhares Is merely nominal (repre senting Is 64 psr nhare if in a company), ana in vestors have tho gratification of knowing that tho whole of the money goes to work tho groun d. An Important featuro in tho position of this ground is. that ono of the greatest shots of gold worked In the Tokatoa In its most brilliant days I dippod to tho east with tho spur, was cut in the Bismarck, and gave them their biggost hauls of specimens, and its coarse is now traceable Into 1 this nnworked and, perhaps, hitherto undis covered seotlon of ono of tho most renowned reefs In th 6 oolony.

Both these plants are available whon required. The Mining Surveyor's roport and plan may be referred to, showing that tho course of the reef for 880 feet is through the Gem ground. Twelve shares are already taken up; three are now offered, aa stated (eaoh 1-lOth, at £75), and a fourth Bharo la rosorvod, at £200, to moot future contingencies, it rcqulrod, and prevent the pos sibility of a oall.
