Civil Secretary’s Office,
Wellington, 28th December, 1852.
HIS EXCELLENCY the Governor-in-Chief has been pleased to direct that the following Report on specimens of Gold from Auckland should be published for general information.
By His Excellency’s command,
ALFRED DOMETT,
Civil Secretary.
Wellington, December 24th, 1852.
SIR,—I have the honor to inform your Excellency that I have examined some of the flake Gold from Auckland, marked No. 6, and I have been unable to detect any silver in it. But I am inclined to think that its dull color is due to the presence of minute crystals of quartz, which appear to be intimately mixed with the metal.
I have, &c.,
(Signed) T. SHEARMAN RALPH.
