THE OURAWERA GOLD-MINING COMPANY (LIMITED), ROUND HILL.
In placing the second half-yearly report and balance-sheet before shareholders, the directors regret that, through the delay of contractors in supplying plant and completing reservoir, the mine is not yet in thorough going order. However, a start has been made in opening out the claim with an intermittent supply of water from the 250ft. level. The first cake of gold was retorted on the 23rd ultimo, with results shown in balance-sheet, and the quality of the wash-dirt showing in the claim leads the directors to hope that when the reservoir at 450ft. level is completed there will be a steady and satisfactory yield of gold.
(For the Directors)
