This Company is formed to erect at mode* rate cost Water-wheel Machinery, to drain and prove the Orwell Creek Flat. The promoters have every reason to believe in the existence of rich leads of gold on the Flat, which is about four miles in extent, as all the rich workings of Mosquito; Back | Creek, Topsj'e Gully, Napoleon and Noonan's lead have been traced iDto it. The present Shareholders, 11 in number, hold 20 acres, and have for some months past been sinking, and have struck auriferous wash at a depth of 40ft, at 160 ft from the 'shaft, but fiud it necessary to erect certain, drainage machinery, and have the ground worked in a systematic and extensive way. There is plenty of available water in the creek which can be secured, and- it is not expected that more than a quarter of the capital will be called up. The present shareholders will make over to the Company all their rights and interests receiving therefor 600 paid-up shares, and are willing to bind themselves not to part with the same until a dividend may become payable. Good gold has long been suspected to exist on this Flat, and on this being fairly established there would be room for a large population. Early application for shares is requested. Prospectuses and other information, with forms of application, cao be obtained trom the Provisional Directors or' the undersigned. PERCY WAKEFIELD, Ahaura. APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
