BANKERS: Bank of New South Wales. The promoters of this Company have every confidence that, in placing this mine before the public, they are offering a really valuable mining property, and one which will undoubtedly prove payable, as past results have been such as to leave little doubt of future prospects. The present proprietor (Mr J. T. Stephenson) having exhausted all his capital, over .*SOO, in prospecting and developing the mine, has now determined to offer it to the public, and for his interest he retains 1,500 shares at 20s paid up, and' also receives L 1,350 in cash.A considerable quantity of stone (over 700 tons) has been raised and crushed during prospecting, which has averaged one ounce to the ton, and as a greater depth is reached, the stone gives evidence of increasing richness. Two shafts have been sunk from the upper level to a depth of 80ft each, but, owmg to the quantity of water jin the reef, the sinking has in the meantime been suspended ; but the tunnel, now in course of construction—in over 140ft—will not only drain the reef to the depth of 450 ft, but will open up an extensive field of quartz capable of affording continuous crushings. Nearly 500 shares are already applied for by residents in Cromwell, where the mine ia well known and highly thought of. Further particulars may be obtained, and applications for shares made to Mr Charles Colclough, Cromwell; or W. ORAM BALL, Princes street, Dunedin.
