Tho Gem Mining Association having, In addi tion to their original section, just acquired a valuablo blook of ground nearer to ttio Tokatea workiDga, hava deoidod to sell Three Reserved Shares at £75 each to augment the present Reserve or Wording Fund. The new ground has been looked up for some time by parties not working it, and Is within 130 feet of the first rise in the Bismarck and Tokatea low level, where the first catch of specimens was trot after the No. 7 Level was put In. The Tokatea reef runs Into and through the centre of the Gem Ground ; near the boundary there are backs from the Tokatea low level of about 300 feet 1 lntaot to the surface of the Gom Ground. The money dorived from the Sole of the Shares will, without reservation, bo applied (together wiih the Fund, now in tho Bank of New Zealand) to working on the reef, thus rioh gold may at any moment be strnok, and Shareholders may aotually receive their own money baok with dividends from tho mine. The Tokatea pro duced £132,000 worth of gold without making a call; and now that a New Seotion of their cele brated reef Is to be opened up, similar results It Is hoped will aocrue. The price asked tor the oem Promoters.Shares Is merely nominal (repre senting Is 6d per shate if In a company), and in vestors have the gratification of knowing that the whole of tho money goss to work the ground. An important feature in the position of this ground Is, that one of the greatest shots of gold worked In the Tokatea in its most brilliant days dipped to tho east with the spur, was cut In the Biamarck, and .gave them tholr biggest hauls Of specimens, and Its course Is now traoeable Into this nnworkfld and, perhaps, hitherto undis covered seotion of ono of tho moat renowned reefs In the colony. CheaD Crushing Power is tho most Important auxiliary to quartz-mining operations, and the Gem is better off In this respect than any other claim, having the Tokatea battery on its boundary, while the Bismarok battery, acknowledged to be the best and most powerful on the goldfleld. Is at no groat dlstonoe, and the tramway to the latter runa through the Gem ground. Both these plants are available when requited. The Mining Surveyor's report and plan may be referred to, showing that the course of the reef for 880 feet Is through the Gem ground. Twelve shares are already taken np; three are now nfforad, as stated (eaoh l-16th, at £75), and a fourth share Is reserved, at £200, to meet future contingencies, if required, and prevent the pos sibility of a 011.11.
