Tho assayors Uiemselves wore accountable for tho dif ] [ eren cea of results. There should bo a- I jheck upon the assayers. Ho thought I jt a mistake hot to have allowed tho Crown ! | fair chance. Mr Album found fault with tho Chair man for expressing doubt as to tho succoss '< of tie La Monto process. Ho had not the slightest 'doubt as to its success, for tho pre liminary assays were immaterial. Ur BArstow doubted whether a fair ireraßO as to yiold could bo obtained until pthing had been running for some time lie cost, too, would be lessened. , Mr Davis described and recommended lbs American system of assay. The Chairman replied to Mr Aickin that tad he heard tho report read, ho iroald have eeen that tho directors had to tmebrtainty of opinion. They regarded 1 (to thing as being oil its trial, rind ho objected to any chairman promising a thing jiiiccess before the tests had been cciiclu live one way or another. Ho believed tho U Monte process was going to be a grand inccees, but while it was still on its trial it iroald ill become him to say anything about ft. He sympathised with tho diroctorsof the Crown Company in thoir request for a 5-ton bjttsrios test as against the smelting test. He consented to it, but tho manager ot the Smelting Works opposed tho inangement, thinking it bettor that tho Crown should either take away tho wholo of its quartz, or else allow tho Smelting Company to purchaso it at assay rates. At any rate, it must be patent to all experi enced men that a largo quantity of fine fold, besides nearly all the silver, was W in tho present battory process, and tho directors confidently hopod that this would bo ea\cd by the smelting process. As to Mr Davis's remarks, tho ijsfem he advocated was the ono that had been adopted. The report was then adopted.

Mr J. M. Clark proposed tho rooloction of the directors, viz., Messrs J, M. Lennox, A, Saunders, C.Alexander, A. Portor, A.G. HortoD, R, K. Davis, H, Groen, and Jas. Bnssell. Ho hoped their meeting would prove Balutary, and that no ono would bo illowed to boss thoir concern.

Mr H. Campbell seconded the motion, and it pasaed, mm, con. Upon the proposition of Mr A. Porter, •econded by Mr R. C. Baiwtow, Mr John IVaymouth was appointed auditior. The Chairman said that with reference to Mr Clark'B remark upon tho "boesing" of tho concern, tho shareholders had to re member that by the terms of their arrange ment Mr La Monte had the running of tha affair for tho first 60 days, and the directors had merely to co operate with him while safeguarding tho inareholders' interoats.^They must abide the result.

The meeting concluded with tho passing of a vote of thanks to the Chairman,

BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

Distress in Auckland.

A meeting of tho General Committee of the Auckland Benevolent Society was hold at 3.30 this afternoon, at the City Council offices, and in the course of the proceedings nomewhat sensational statements as to the prevalence of distress in Auckland were made.

MrF. G. Ewington, Chairman of the Execu tive, stated that he had the General Committee called together to see if it was their wish that we Benevolent Society should apply to bo sepa- J»Wy incorporated. Ho said : Tho Society has «008 an immense amount of real work. It is wending to people who are blind, others who are too old to work,' to women who havo sick traahanda and young children, to widows unable wrough accidents and Illness to help themselves W their children, to womon forsaken by thoir Husbands, and to people who but for our help would have died in the street. Tho other day mere was a death from starvation. The Society tod helped tho man and gent him at his rcquost totoromanu'el, though he was weak from iU oealth. He returned a month afterwards, crawled unawares into our secretary's house, whore ho was found in bed evidently in a dying condition. >»c sentto tho Relieving Officer and to tha police, allot whom doelined to interfere till tho man wasdpad. Dying in a day or two wo handed over his body to the authorities. There are men cases of terrible distress in tho city and I JfWpcoplto! Auckland who aro princely w their bonevolenco will not coldly turn a deaf ™ to those in distress because thero is a poor HJ 1; It ought, however, to be widely known wit the Relieving Officer has power to deal with such cases. .MrEwington, in conclusion, stated that tho Mhnce in tho Treasurer's hands ia £11 3s id, ana some benevolent persons had sont him »i cr sums during the last fow days, but "Ben all thoir accounts wore paid they would nothav e £sleft; therefore their work was ended.

Tho Lommittoo had inspected tho buildings in company with tho Hoad-mastor and Mr Allnght, and find that—supposing tho main building to bo sufficiently preserved— accommodation canbo provided fortivo class rooms only. Of those five rooms two (up stairs) are unlined, and without tiro placos. Tho cost of tho necessary altera tions would bo not lesa than £400, and oven this expenditure would fail to provido accommodation. The Comraittoo would not rocommond tho removal of the school from its present site, as ft bo less suit able and hazardous, as the lease does not oxpire until the ond of 18S6. they su^st therefore, the raising of funds for thoim modiato oroction of a suitaUo.building on tho site of tho present main building.-Mr ff° at proposed, and Mr Upton seconded, I hat tho consideration of this report be poatponod until tho next meotine "— Carried.

The Cask of Voiob and Murray.—The information of Wm. Voice, of Hamilton, a blacksmith, was introduced for tho con sideration of the Board, to tho effect that John Wm.

Court of the district was held over.

Rkmoval of Mr Taldot. — Mr J. M.

The Karangahake Ore.

(To tho Editor.)

Sik,—You publish today tborosults ob tained by the various assays made of the Crown stono olTored for rolo to tho Smolting Company at tho Thamos, and tho mannor in which theso results aro brought forward ia, in my opinion, apt to bo misleading to tho gonoral public. Tho samplo aeßayod on my account by Mr Galbraith waa handed to mo by Mr Adam Portor, who in his duplicato capacity of Chair man of Directors of tho Crown Com pany and also as a member of tho original La Monto Syndicate, is doubtless groatly interested in obtaining nccurato in formation on tho value of tho atono. Tho parcel placed in my hands for assay was said to contain a portion of tho identical gowder assayed on bohalf of tho Smelting ompany, which had been producod by " sampling " tho oro in the usual mannor. X was present at tho assay of this parcel, which was done in duplicato. The difforonce be tween tho twobuttonnboingexceedlngly trifl ing, the mean result of the two was given as the correct return. As far as regards tho parcol submitted to Mr Galbraith for assay, you will eeo I havo good grounds for believing tho return to be thoroughly accurate. Putting on one sido, however, tho question of tho accuracy of oach individual assay, the results obtained by the three disinterested experts show curious results when compared with that obtained by tho assayer to the Smolting Company. Roughly speaking, tho average of the results obtained by tho three assays made in Auckland are :—Gold, 2ozslldwts per ton; silver, 16ozs 16dwts per ton. On the other hand we have the assay made on behalf of tho Smelting Company, viz. : Gold, loz 13dwts, and silvor, lOoz lldwts, being a difference from tho mean result of the three other assays of 18dwta of gold, and 6ozß sdwte silver. Taking the prico of gold at £3 18s, and that of silver at 4s per oz, we havo a difference in tho prico of tho stone of, for gold £3 10s 2d, for siver £1 4s9d,or together £4 14s lid per ton in favour of the Smelting Company. This difference amounts to £94 on every 20 tons bought by them under that assay. Under these considerations I muss beg to diffur from the opinion expressed in your columns that tho prico offered for tho Crown quartz is af air one. That price may be a higher one than that obtained by the mining companies at Sunny Corner, but wo must also take into consideration that the cost of smelting there is, according to Mr La Monte, £1 9s, in place of the £3 per ton chargod by the Smolting Company. Ac cording to tho report of tho "Herald"of tho 29th May last,- Mr La Monte said: " They would work close to tho assay all tho time, but they always allowed 5 per cont. leeway, for in assaying alwaya tho best samples were to ken,butif samples were taken in the proportion of one shovelful to eixteon, he would work to thoir assay right along." T presume that in "sampling" this propor tion has been observed, and that we should look for closer results than has been ob tained in regard to tho Crown stone, which exhibits a difforonco of 54 por cent, for " leeway " instead of the 5 per cent, talked about. Tho results of the assays referred to show tho nocessity for an accurate classification of tho different varieties of quartz found in each individual mine. I have some Crown stone which is worth at assay test from £90 to £130 per ton, and it is obvious that it would pay to spend £30 per ton for freight on that class of stone, while £1 per ton might bo thrown away on stone lying within a yard of it. In conclusion, allow mo to sug gest that the most reliable guides to the values of tho various ores are the mon whose finances are not dependent on the success of any of tho various mining Com panies, nor on that of the Smelting Com pany, but solely on the accuracy of their work!~I am, etc., A. W. JEioesbbugh, November 26th.
