This Company is formed for t ie purpose of working the copper deposits within the lense to be traiisfei red to the Company, and more espeuia iy the copper lode known as the t humpion Copper Lode, discovered in t. o mineral belt near (he head of Aniseed Valley ad jacent to the junction of t e limestone and magnesian rock-, und running parallel with an Elvan dj ke. This discovery has proved the opinion expressed by the late E. 11. Davis, t: e ein hunt Gove nment Geologist, to be coireet, which wi 1 b - seen b\ t e following extract from his report-on thr geology of Hie .Aniseed Valley District, Nelson, published in t e year 1871 : —“ 1 am fully convinced that there is a deposit of copper ore somewhere in the district, but Ine serpentine so com pie ey obliterates a 1 indications of its local ty that it is diiliiult to • ome to any conclusion.”

Toe bearing of the Champion lode is ab->u* north-east, with an apparent, dip to the eastward. Tne ore consi.-is of red oxide, grey me, nd carb <na es, ve y rie i in qua.iiy, assays s owing 30 to 80 per cent, of metal : veins of nu ive Opper have also been found plentifully running thr ugh the ore. Thu outcrops of ore are found on the face of the mountain, the lowest outcrop being about, uo feet from the creek, and nt an elevation of about 4 ) feet. A cutting has been in ado by the present proprietors a little above the creek to the fiist. outcrop, with the resu t that the ore is under foot., aud u face 23 fuel in height is now show ing orc. The secund outcrop, about 4U feet, from the first, continues fo ao. ut 3>i feet. The third outcrop is about 6u feet from the second, and the fourth outcrop about 3U feel from the third ; there are vuii.ius other imlica ions of cupper, showing the uopper-beu: ing mil me of tie tuck, fie gieut extent of these outcrops; the rich quality of t ie ore ; the facilities offord, and consequent cheupn.-ss in working the mine, render the undertaking one of exceptional vaiue.

A very consuleiuble quantity of ore can at once be obtained and b;ought into tlie market us soon us the road can be completed to the mine. The road at present used is about 15 , miies from the Hope Railway Station to the copper outcrops, the first, six miles being u duty ruud, t en a lioise track f.-r about six miies, amt the hist I rue mil s u foot, truck I The present proprietor have expended i unsidurable time and money on the I racks.
