companies, and so constituted that the working..capital will not only- bo a ways maintained, bub will be added to at the rate of 10 per cent, on all moneys avail able for dividends. The terms are easy, and tho conditions simple. The shares ar» £12, payable £1 monthly, in advance tar one year, with no liability whatever. £*-*- perienced miners will oe employed at the rate of £1 per week ; this money, topetaur with other expenses, will be the iirso charge on any crushing of quart*, the balance of profit (loss 10 per cent., to be added to the working fund) to be proportionately divided between those who subscribe and those who work. By work in°- chiefly on known gold-bearing lodes, there will be little doubt of this fund beiiif maintained permanently, after once subscribed, thus providing the necessaries of life for men while mining, and giving them a chance of striking a patch for their own and their supporters' benefit. There will be no charge for thenuv agement, which has been undertaken by Mi'Withe ford, while the direction of work will be left to a committee of sis experienced miners Cheques will be signed by the Mayor of Auckland and countersigned by-the manager, and the banking account .vill be ke.ot at, th- Bank of New Zealand. As the contribution Only amounts to 5s per week per share, it gives the general public an opportunity of joining in amining enterprise Which, though having no liabilities, has promise of paying dividends. It will confer a benefit on miners during the existing stagnation, and Will, if successful, increase the Wealth and prosperity of the district. Auckland has already received a great impetus by the de velopment of the Thames goldfield ; and the approaching " mining boom " is likely to eclipse the first both in its magnitude and permanency. Prompt and well directed efforts Will receive the support oi the public of Auckland, and the more so as there is to be no responsibility incurred be yond the actual amounts paid,—and there appears to be no difficulty in getting first class ground to work. Persons desirous of taking a share in the association can give in their names to Mr Witheford, and miners who would like to wor>, in connec tion with the proposed association may do the same.

John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some • time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from injury to fhestomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge M eal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon, caused unplea santness, sourness of tho stomach, and pimplea and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained cf above, but a most palatable Porridge, aud the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. 1 can strongly recommend it, and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FRKDK. WHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimaraina, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habcns, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. -Y°U(igned h) fUlly ' GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, , May.30,1387. ; ,. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our youngest boy. He was weakly, _id refused every food preparation that cou d be got. but upon getting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy nim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for Mm, and seeing it being prepared cried until he got it. He is nowstrong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you SUCClligied) main' y°UrS '&C- W.
