WORTHING MINING COMPANY.

At the ordinary half/early general meeting of ta•
proprietors of this company, which wok plea yeilerEgy ad
their offices in St. Helen's-place, 11. HALIATAsa.,
in the chair, the fallowing report was read and admiled :

to this country, proving*, actual existence of gold in the
same. Oa the discovery being made that gold existed therein,

examined, and the directors expect soon to receive further
important advice. on the subject. independent of this, the
proximity of the Worthing mice to the Echunga gold dis-
trict, will even materially enhance the value of the land, and
the situation being only a short distance from Alelaide, no
doubt exists hot that at an early date the company will
derive cousiderable revenue from this source alone. The
osatemotated railway from Adelaide to the port, will also
add valet to the property, from the facility thus given of
obtaining carriage at more reasonable rates. The anvigb.l
ties of the river Murray likewise, and many other important
movements, tending to promote the general wolfram of South
Australia, may all be viewed as contributing to enhance the
value of the freehold property of this company. Siam the
last genteel meeting the works at the mama have remained
instate quo, and the expenses of management reduced
to the lowest point, both at home and in the colony.
Notwithstanding the diiculty which has existed
durlag the past year in procuring. labour for extending the
inny's mining operations, it is more than probable that

operathms of the company are made to embrace the ordi-
nary business of a gold mining company. Although the
nagger mining operations are at present suspended, the
dingiest would remind the shareholders that the lodes are

abesses of all assistance. Oa the 7th August leas the eon-
mittee write—" With reference to the Worthing
we can only add, that whatever doubts may have Crilr-
premed of e favourable result, we think upon a little study
of the geological formation of the property, and the fast of

covered, will eventaally assume • permanent character of
great importance, as well from the mineral riches as the
position of the property itself; and we feel no doubt the
adventuress will be amply repaid for their outlay."
Upon comparison with many other mines in the colony, the
directors are led to conclude from the opinions of men well
vaned in mining experience, that although in some South
Australian mines the on in the clay slate formation lies
nearer the satiate, and is more easily accessible, the lodes

working by this company—" Every caution was exercised
by the committee until they met with a mine that, with the
and of steam power, was ready for work immediately ; the
price of shares in this mine was at one time as high as 15/."
The directors also congratulate the shareholders on the 'a-
vowable position of the finances of the company, being
perfectly tree from debt, and its property of near 1,000
acres altogether without incnnitirance, with an available
cash balance in hand of 1,3621. 71. bd. la accordance with
the wish of the shareholders, ex viewed at the annual meeting
on the 9th of August last, the directors have convened an
extraordinary genera! meeting to consider the advisability
of subdividing the shares of the company. The directors
have soticed with considerable interest the startling an-
nouneements furnished by the reports recently received
treat the colony of South Australia, and this information
for the last month has been of such a character as to justify
the conclusion that • change in this company's position is
now desirable. The directors have carefully watched the
morass of the different gold companies in connexion with
venous districts in the Australian Colonies. No gold cem-
pan, has been formed, however, for carrying on the business
of gold naning in the Adelaide or South Australian dis-
trict, and it IS therefore the opiniun of the directors that
the time I..ta now arrived when the Worthing Mining Com-
pany may extend. if practicable, th, it sphere of operations
to embrace thl ordinary busiates of a gold company, and
with profitable results, even whilst the Copper Mining
Weeks of the company may remain in abeyance. The
shareholders mil hear in mind that in thus extending the
purposes of the Worthing Company they will be
spared the heavy preLininAry expenses attending the

available for a gold company, one of which is, the pone►
