The object of the proposed Company is to complete a Tunnel Tail-Race from the Teremakau River to the Shamrock Lead, for the purpose of sluicing all adjacent ground, together with a Claim belonging to the Company, through which the lead of gold has been proved to run. The Tunnel has been driven 2018 feet, and a shaft sunk 95 feet in connection therewith, and it is contemplated to extend the Tunnel abont 700 feet further; which, when, will terminate at what-is how : 'liudwn to be the best sluicing ground hi the district. The promoters are so sanguine of the undertaking proving a success that they are willing to accept 600 paid-up shares in the ilew Company in full payment for the purchase of their rights for all labour already done and expenses incurred. The boxes will be constructed to carfy 30 government heads of water, thereby enabling a large number of claims to sluice into it at a Small rental, which would otherwise entail a great amount of labour and expense in bringing in private tunnels such a distance, viz., 3700 feet. The promoters confidently express the opinion that the future operations of the new Company will materially tend to develope a very extensive portion of this district, which must of necessity largely increase the commercial prosperity of Kumara. They therefore invite the attention of the public to the present Undertaking as a safe and payable investment. From the promises of support already received the promoters conclude that the Company will be floated on an early date; and, as soon as 1500 applications are received, will commence further operations. Applications for Shares will be received by WILLIAM SICHOLSOtf, Opposite Fublic Hall, Mein Hoad/
