Capital:—£4o,ooo, in 8000 Shares of £5 each, payable as follows ; —Eive shillings on application; five shillings on allotment; the balance on calls not exceeding two shillings and sixpence per month. , The Company will be registered immediately applications are received for 5000 shares. Head Office to be at Dunedin or Wellington, according to decision of a majority of shareholders. Provisional Directors: Messrs. S. M. South, J. R. Hudson, and Henry Young, Hokitika; Dunedin Broker : Mr. J. B. Bradshaw ; Bankers: Bank of New Zealand. The object of the proposed Company is to work a Mineral Lease of 500 acres, situate at Mount Rangitoto, County of Westland, formerly known as Hudson’s Lease, which Lease has been since purchased from the Waste Lands Board by Mr. Henry Young. The Lease is known as No. 2, West of the Mount Rangitoto Company's Mine. The area secured is 500 acres, on which two distinct lodes of ore—one fifteen inches, and the other varying from three to five feet in width—outcrop. Mr. Arthur, Mining Surveyor, who has recently returned from completing a survey of the Lease, reports as follows; , “ I may state that in addition to lodes for- ■ merly reported on, Mr. Palmer, one of the original prospectors of the Mount Rangitoto Silver Mine, who kindly volunteered his assistance in the survey, discovered a large lode in one of the creeks running through this Lease, the position of which you will see on the plan, and marked ‘.Quartz Reef.’ The Reef is from fifteen to eighteen feet in thickness, and bearing east 13deg. south, and west 13deg. north, underlying to the north at an angle of about SOdegs. This lode is in a direct line with those now being worked by the Prospectors’ Company, and shows both Galena and Pyrites. Mr. Palmer also discovered a great quantity of stream tin in two different creeks in the Lease, some of the boulders being from two to three hundredweight. lam of opinion that.an immense tin lode must also run through the lease, from the quantity of stream tin in the two creeks.” The original prospectors of the Mount Rangitoto Company’s Mine also report as follows upon this Lease:—“Two lodes of ere similar to those in the Mount Rangitoto Company’s Mine outcrop in this Lease, one of fifteen inches—the other varies from three to five feet in thickness.” It is proposed to engage from California a | thorougly competent and. experienced Silver Mining Manager,- • and to have the mine developed and worked on sound scientific prin- | ciples, and with the latest machinery. As there is an abundant supply of water and timber in the immediate vicinity of the mine, and the Government have now in progress a line of road which will connect the Mount Rangitoto Mines with the Hokitika road, it is expected that the working of the mine will be conducted with facility and economy. Samples of ore from the Rangitoto’s Company’s Mine have been proved by Professor Kirkland, of the- Melbourne University, tocontain respectively three hundred and ninetytwo ounces, and seven hundred and thirty-fiye ounces of silver to the ton. Dr. Hector, m his Eleventh Annual Report, 1876, on the Colonial Museum and Laboratory, Wellington—Reports having obtained from a sample of Rangitoto ore a yield at the rate of five ounces fifteen pennyweights nineteen grains of goltj per ton. Reference is also, directed to " results of analysis No. 1855, locality Mount Rangitoto, obtained at the New Zealand Geological Survey Laboratory, which read thus:—“ The amount of gold in No. 1 is ten ounces twopennyweights per ton.” On transferring the property to the proposed Company, the Promoters, will receive 2000 fully paid up £5 shares, and the sum of £IOOO in cash. 1 Early application for Shares will be necessary, as the Promoters confidently expect aj>plications for fully double the number of Shares to be allotted.
