Of which 1,500 shares, LI paid up, will be retained by the proprietor, and 1,500 shares issued to the public on the following terms, viz. : 10s per share on application, 10s per share on allotment, after which all shares will be equally liable to calls, and then calls (if required) not to exceed Is per share per month, PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS : Geo. W. Eliott, Dunedin G. M. Starkey, Cromwell John Hislop, Dunedin Thomas Hazlett, Cromwell James Hazlett, Clyde C. S. Reeves, Dunedin D. A. Jolly, Cromwell O. S. Harvey, Dunedin, 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. Stephen* son) Laving exhausted all his capital, over L 2,500, 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, owing to the quantity of water in the reef, the sinking has in the meantime been suspended; but the tunnel, now in course of construction—in over 140ft—will nof only dram the reef to the depth of 450 ft, but will open up an extensive field of quartz capable o affording continuous crushinga. Nearly 600 shares are already applied for by residents in Cromwell, where the mine is well known and highly thought of. Further particulars may be obtained, and applications for shares made to Mr Charles Cololough, Cromwell; or W. ORAM BALL, Princes street, Dunedin,
