The land thus obtained, is situate on the river Wakamarina, and consists of a rock bound terrace through which gold has been traced for the distance of upwards of a mile, and which has been prospected in 7 different places along the lead with successful results. The face is GO feet from the surface to the bottom, and there are three layers of wash, each about 5 feet thick, and each of which has shown on working from a grain to two grains of gold to the dish. All necessary water for the working of the land consisting of seven Government heads 20 in. x 2 in. has been secured by the promoters, and this supply of water further commands two miles of country. The proposed mode of working is by hydraulic power, with a sufficient sluicing fall, which from the nature of the land and other advantages 'secured, is easily obtainable. The Lease and Water Rights will be vested in the Company on its incorporation, and the promoters reserve to themselves 2000 fully paid up shares in the Company when formed.

As soon as the necessary amount is subscribed being not less than twothirds of the entire number of shares the company will at once be incorporated and operations commence.
