ROSPECTIJS OF THE CROWN AND CROSS QUARTZ MINING COMPANY, GARRICK RANGE. The proprietors of the above Company, being anxious to erect a crushing-mill on or adjacent to their valuable quartz claim, known as the Crown and Cross, beg jjfco lay the following facts before the investing public, with the hqpe that the object as stated may be carried out. The ground now held by the proprietors is an ordinary six men’s claim,—6oo feet along the line of reef by 300 feet wide,- and r within tliesk boundaries are two if not more lines’of reef, both of which have been proved to contain goll. From the first a yield was obtained of some 3)0 ozs. of gold, but owing to the charges for cartiflg and crushing did not prove payable. The otter reef, however, yielded the handsome return of 212 ozs. retorted gold from ISO tons of quartz. This crushing paid a good dividend. But if the battery had heen on the ground, the resllts would have proved even more encouraging, fhe proprietors have now 120 tons of quartz pom this latter reef on its way to the mill. The proprietors have traced this reef SOffeet along the surface, finding it to carry pafable gold throughout; and have sunk two shaft, one 30 and the other 40 feet, from which tho/bove quartz was obtained. They have also d/ven a tunnel in 80 feet, which has cut the ref two feet thick at a depth of 75 feet from the surface. In the reef at this depth gold is plainly isible. By continuing this tunnel, the other reel would be cut at a depth of 180 feet. / Professor Ulrich, when inspecting tls mine, gave it as his opinion that the proprietoi would cut yet another reef, known as the Trj Again, which would consideral)ly ( enhance thefalue of the property now offered, 1 The proprietors purpose floating thejompany as follows :—The capital will be £600(/in 3000 shares of £2 each, of tthich 30s. will hftiaid up, leaving 10s. on call. The present jpprietors will retain two-thirds of these, andiow offer the balance to the public. As sool as 1000 shares are applied for, they bind the selves to devote £750 of the proceeds to erect thlcrushingmill on the claim, —the said mill belg in the first place to crush the company’s Joae, and, when disengaged, to crush for the üblic at a remunerative rate. The proprietoi have secured an excellent mill-site at the jujtion of the two branches of Smith’s gully, froirtvhich they can obtain a plentiful supply of watf for crushing purposes. It is the intention p drive the mill by steam power at the beginnifc, and until more water shall be available forthe motive power. For any further particulars repeating the above property, apply to HERBERT, WaTSON, & QTTON, On theground; or JAMES MAIffIALL, Cromwell. rmassuswit i?
