Tho position of Bat^ tcry will be at foot of Butler's Spur, upon tho site lately held by Mr Bullock, which is only about li chains from bottom of Butler's Spur, The Water Race site has already been secured, and the Engineer estimates its force ample for driving 10 stampers (them being -iSfi foot fall), and the Mattery site ia cleared, and it only re mains now to accept tenders for the work (as specifications aro already prepared), and so complete the work at the earliest possible moment. The capital (£5,000) is considered sufficient to erect 40 head, but It is deemed advisable only to erect 20 head for the presont. The shares to bo paid as follow:—2s Ca on application, 2s Od on allotment, and 2s Od on Ist May, and 2s Cd Ist June. Tho claims in the immediate vicinity to bo bpnoHUed most materially are Phoenix, Lucky Hit, Waiorongomai, Inverness, &e.,and it is con fidently anticipated tnnt the Hold will bo inatoriallyadvanccd by thoercctlon of the above Jiattory.
