The Ground of the Company consists ibout five acres, adjacent to the Fourtv Mile Beach, through which the reruns for a distance of 1200 feet. Ihe reef, so far as has been prospected, is well defined, nul varies in thicii'ieas from 8 to 22 inches, and several experienced miners have expressed it as their opinion, that, from the nature of the ground through which the reef runs there can be no doubt as to its permanency There has been a trial crushing of a ton if stone from the i eef a. the Goverume- j ■attery, which yielded better than 9dw . ,f gold, but the character of the stone sei ;ould not be considered an average samp! it being largely intermixed with mullock. Besides this trial there has been a few small tests, none of which yielded less than it the rate of 3 ounces to Die ton, and on ~j 3t at the Bunk of New Zealand Roxburg yielded at the rate of nearly soz to ti ton. From the situation of the reef every facility is afforded for working it, as the quar f z to a dep hof 400 f-*et, can be extracted by means of tunnelling, which may lie commenced on the reef in the Company s ground, at a 400 feet level.
