JOHNSTON'S UNITED MINING COMPAHY, LMITiD. GOLD-MINING And MINERAL LEASES • Bedstead Gully, Collingwood. Nominal Capital : £20,000, in 20,000 Shares of £1 each ; of these 1,668 are Paid up ; 11,676 are Subscribed for ; and the Balance 6 ,656, upon which 2s 7.d per Share ia Paid up, are offered to the Public at 1 Ss per Share. Dieectoks : Messrs. Bunnt, Pabkes, Palmer, Feanzen, Andebson, Johnston, and Jones. Legal Manages : A. D. Bayfeild. LEASES comprise Mineral Lease of 97 acres, within which is a Gold Mining Lease of 16. acres ; these Leases cover ground originally held by the "Perseverance," '•' Decimal," and other Companies in Bedstead Gully, Collingwood, and contain metaliferous deposits of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc, believed to be in vast quantities, and easily procurable by judicious management— for the last year the Company have steadily been proving the Mine. 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 £12,000 worth of Gold was procured from a very small piece of ground, the " Decimal Company " alone giving £2000 ■ from a-epace of 15 to 20ft., vide memo from the late Mr Buckeridge, the Legal Manager of the "Decimal Company," to Mr Johnston. Mr Buckeridge further states that his Company were unable to work their ground owing to great jealousies between the two Companies, and the high charges imposed upon them by the ■'Perseverance Company for the use of the water and the right to work from the " Perseverance " ground. Mr Buckeridge concludes his memo by saying, " but owing to the great expense which it appeared would be necessary, and to the Company's Capital being exhausted, the claim was ultimately abandoned, although the Shareholders and others believe that there is a large amount of Gold on their own and the ' Perseverance ' claims." - The " Perseverance- Company " worked their ground from ah incline shaft, ahd having inadequate pumping apparatus, were prevented from continuing work, a report of Mr J. C. Richmond's to the Shareholders of tbe "Perseverance Company," advocated operations from either Bedstead Gully or Kelly's Creek. The Directors of "Johnston's United , Company " have had an exhaustive survey made and numerous levels taken by Mr Rochfort, C, E., and have determined on acting on Mr Rochfort's advice to put in a tunnel from Kelly's Creek, and tenders are now called to drive 400fc, when the Quartz Reefs should be first met with, this drive will also thoroughly drain the ground, Just outside of the Southern Boundary there is an outcrop of Silver Ore, dipping towards the Company's ground ; this has not been worked, although specimens assayed gave a yield of over 100Z3 per ton of ore. A | deposit or lode, 6ft. wide, containing Yellow Sulphate of Copper in large quantity, was found in the "Perseverance Company V ground, and found by assay to yield about 30 per cent of copper, and it" was also found rich in gold. Assay returns of Galena have given over 70 per cent of lead and 30ozs. Silver to the ton. The Mine is an exceptionally good property The failure cf former Companies is traceable to a very great extent to the want of experienced control over those working in the Mine, and proper economy in working expenses. It is expected that no further call will be required other than towards machinery— estimated cost £1000. Calls cannot exceed 2d per month, and no cali will be required for at least six months. In inviting the Public to take Shares, the Directors assure intending investors that no exorbitant outlay will be made in cost of getting these Shires taken up, present holders are fully determined to prosecute work, and, as a guarantee of good faith, have, by resolution duly recorded, agreed to withhold dealings witb their Shares for at least two months Many of the old workings, particularly the inclined shaft, will prove of value in the reopening of the Mine. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a deposit of ls per Share, and a further payment of Is per Share will be-re-quired on allotment, and the balance of Is per Share three months after date of allotment, or a discount of 2| per cent will be allowed to any person making full payment of the 3s pt r Share on application ; the whole of the proceeds from the sale of these Shares will be expended in developing the Mine. Applications for Shares will not be received after the 25th August, and owing to the very low price asked, as against the known value of the property, the Directors reserve to themselves the right of closing list of Subscribers prior to the 25th August. From the characterof the undertaking, and its certainty of success, no doubt exists as to the profit that will ensue. Applications for shares to be made to A. D.
