Part of the Sou'-Western Corner of this ground was worked by the " Perseverance," and/to a very small extent, also the' "Decimal " Company, -from which; (by statements of these Companies) it is shown that £I^,ooo worth of Gold was procured from a very small piece of ground, the " Decimal" Company '* alone giving £2000, -from a space of 16 to 20ft., vide memo from ihe late Mt Buckeridge, the Legal Manager of the " |>eoimal Company,'' to Mr Johnston. Mr Buc&eridge further states that his Company were unable to work their ground owing to great jealouLsies between, the two Companies; and the high charges imposed upon them byj the •' Perseverance Company for the use of the.water. and the .right to .work from the "* Perseverance " ground. A_tr Buckeridge concludes his memo by saying, " but owing to the great expense which it' appeared would be necessary and to the Compiiny's Capital being exhausted, the claim j was ultimately "abandoned, although the Shareholders and others believe that there is a large amount of Gold on then: own and' the *■ Perseverance ' claims?' :.The "Perseverance.

Yoilow Sulphate of Copper in large quantity, was found in the ''Perseverance Company's" ground, and fouud by assay to yield about 30 per cent of copper, and it was alscTfound rich in gold. Assay returns of Galena have , given over 70 per cent of lead.and-3bozs. - Silver to the ton. ; The Mine ;s an exceptionally good property The failure cf former Companies is traceable ■ to a very great extent to the want of experi- ' enced control over those working in the Mine, ind proper economy ia working expenses.
