H. A. Goedon, F.G.S., Inspecting Engineer, to the Hon. A. J. Cadman, Minister of Mines. 
■ SiE,— Mines Department, Wellington, 16th September, 1895. 
1 have the honour to submit a supplenieniary report on the state of quartz-mining in the 
Eeefton District, as considerable developments have been made since writing my annual report on 
the goldfields. A deal of attention is at present being given to the mining industry, and mining 
properties generally have increased in value. The Mining Eegistrar has compiled ^ a state¬ 
ment showing the results of the quartz-workings in the district from information received from 
the dili'ereut managers, taken from their companies’ books, which not only shovvs that a large 
quantity of gold has been produced, but also that a large sum has been paid in dividends to 
shareholders. 
The table referred to difiers in some instances from that published in my last report, but 
the Mining Registrar having taken a great deal of trouble in collecting reliable information, the 
following table can be taken as practically correct. However, the totals of the two tables differ so 
slightly, that either of them is sufficiently conoct to show approximately the total yield from the 
field and the amount of dividends paid:— 
Eetuens, &c., from Quaetz-mines from opening of District to 31st August, 1895.
