Solicitor ; J, Bickorton Fisher, Esq, Secretary : Henry Black. Since the first advertisement referring to the above Company, the Promoters have secured about 45 acres of Freehold Land on the main branch of the Ashburton River, Alford Forest. In notifying this fact, the Promoters desire to state that they still have the right to prospect over about 300 acres of Crown Land, one of the Promoters having secured a license therefor. The Freehold is in the centre of this block, and has a long frontage to the main branch of the Ashburton River. From the Prospector’s reports already to hand, and from the formation of the country, it is believed that the Company’s land, will prove to be of very great, value,, and result in considerable pro’fit to the shareholders. Some of the finest specimens yet received from Alford Forest have been obtained from this Company’s land, and the Directors are confident that they will secure a Sufficient quantity of Diamonds to give the shareholders an immediate and a substantial return. As Ihere are but 2,000 shares .in the Company, and the area is secured (being freehold), and as the further area of 300 • acres will be prospected by the Company, the Directors with very great confidence offer the unallotted shares to the public.'
