The property consists of a Lease of 16| Acres of Land granted under the Mining Le se Regulations for a term of 15 years. The Reefs occur between soft sandstone and slate, affording great facility for extraction. ; Considerable work has been done by the Prospectors, viz.: Two shafts have been sunk, o.ie 23 feet and the other 85 feet in depth. In the latter, at the depth of 55 feet, a cross cut hns been driven for 52 fePt, cutting three distinct bodies of quartz, all of them gold-bearing On the course of No. 1 a drive has been made 30 feet in length, and it has b^en proved by the tests applied that the 3 ield will average 2\ oz. of gold to the ton of stone ; and where it has also been driven on for a distance of 35 feet, at the 85 feet level, gold is freely to be seen in the stone. No timbering has yet been req"ired. Since the above work was concluded, tha Prospectors have succeeded in discovering on the property another and distinct Reet. which has been opened out at short intervals for a distance of say 1,000 feet The stone is thickly impregnated with gold, and hns been estimated by competent judges to yield at least 7 oz. to the ton. At about 60 feet from the last-named reef another occurs, which is gold bearing, but which has not been prospected. The bearings of each of the above are the same, ! the course being N.W. and S.E. The Proprietors propose to part with their interest for 1,000 fully paid up Shares, and £600 in money — £300 to be paid on completion of the purchase, and £300 out of tbe first nett profits of the Mine.
