Manager pro. tern. — George Royan. m Secretary— George Willis. '.. , Banker — New South Wales. Solicitors — Messrs Rees and Tyler. Offices, pro. tern.- At Messrs Rees and Tyler's, Wharf street. rpHIS Company is formed for the .purpose of working fifty acres of auri-' ferous groirad held on a twenty-one years leaser from the Maori Commissioner. This ground is situated at Woodstock, opposite to the Kanieri, and is in a direct line with the celebrated Golden Lead, running from the Waimea through the Three Mile, Tucker Flat, and the Kanieri. .From four or five claims — immediately adjoining the fifty acres belonging to the Company, and altogether containing less than half an acre — between two and three thousand ounces of gold have been taken during the last nine months. The shareholders in one of these claims washed, in a cradle, for a single day's work, three pounds weight of gold, which ran about seven ounces to the load : the place from which this was taken is not more than fifty yardß distant from the Company's ground. « The lead runs^ direct through the leasehold of the Company for a distance of up« wards of seven hundred yards. The lease will be purchased by the Company at tbV price of L2OOO, which' will be taken in 2000 paid-up shares. The capital of the Company will be L4OOO, in 4000 shares of Ll each, to be paid as follows : — 2s 6d on application, 2s 6d on allotment, and calls of 2b 6d at intervals of at least a month. As the ground can be worked at a cost — for machinery, &c— of less than LSOOO, the promoters think that the 2000 sharei which will be. thrown into the market will provid* ample me^ms for the successful - commencement of the undertaking. Every possible convenieuce is on the spot — fine timber in millions of feet, a good fall to the Hokitika River, and water power, with a fall of sixty or seventy feet, are at once available. It is probablo that \ I work will be commenced, and a dividend declared, withinamonth from thetime that I the open shares are taken up. The pre sent working — although so rich — is merely upon a false bottom ; the real bottom, where found, has, all along -the lead, yielded much better returns • than the | layers above it. Applications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, at the temporary offica of th« Company, , 4%1\
