Tliis Company is formed for I lie j purpose of buying and working the Conroy’s Reef, situated in Conroy’s I Gully, three miles distant from the I township of Alexandra (Otago). Tim I area held under lease is 1G acres, and ! in connection with the mine there is ' a tiistilass water-race, carrying sutli- I ciont water all the year round to drive ton to fit'.een heads of stampers, j The mine has been opened up and - prospected very considei ably, a tunnel i having been driven along the line of j reef a distance of 240 feet. At CO ! feet and 120 feet from the mouth of, tunnel two winzes have been sunk, in both of which a strong roof has Icon found, with payable gold. The reef is in two parts; the portion lying alongside the head wall being two feet thick, the other portion from six inches to one foot thick. There is plenty of stone in sight, but it the present tunnel is driven in 530 feet further ii, will cut an old reef at a depth of 55 feet below the old workings, leaving a large body of stone to be worked. From the old workings nearly 500 tons of stone wore crushed, yielding ,£2ou3, or an average of over 4 oz to the ton. There are one hundred tons of stone at grass, which, it is confidently expected, will yield fully 1 oz to the ton, as stone taken from the tunnel and crushed at Mr McQueen’s private battery yielded over ;?£ o zs to the ton. The present proprietors, being thoroughly satisfied with the valuable nature of the mine, and to show their faith in it, have agreed to take for their interest 2000 shares paid up to ten shillings. The balance of the shares (100O) are now offered to the public, and as nearly 1000 have been already applied for, early application will he necessary to secure an interest in this safe mining investment.
