Since the, first advertisement referring to this above Company, the Promoters have secured about 45 acres of Freehold Land on the main branch of the Ashburton River, Alford Forest. Jn 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 gre.-v. value, and result in considerable profit 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 there 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. Applications for shares, accompanied by a deposit of LI on each share applied for, to be sent to the temporary offices of the Company, 135, Cashel street east; or to care of Henry Black, Secretary, Box 163, Post Office, Christchurch. Applications by a deposit of £1 on each share applied for, to be sent-to the temporary offices of the Compand 135, Cashel street East, or to oare of HENRF BLACK, Secretary, 266 Box 163, P. 0., Christchurch.
