The different parts of this large block have teen held by private parties for twelvemonths, but after repeated effoAs it is at last scon that more powerful machinery will be required to work tlie ground satisfactorily than these parties could afford. It is believed that before the ground can be properly and profitably wrought, an engine of 30-horse power must be obtained, conjoined to gear',of equal strength. There is upon the spot an engine of 12-horse power, which, with the interest o(- the various claimholders, will be sold 'to the Company for the nominal sum of six hundred pounds, which can be paid in "the Company's scrip. , Gold has 'been traced into the ground which will pay from £12 to £15 per week per man. The various claims upon Commissioner's Flat are now yielding from £7 to £50 per man per wpek, and. as it is known with tolerable certainly that two, if not three, bottoms are workable, the prospects of the Company are good. The promoters appeal to all clashes of business men with confidence, because the system of co-operative working is the only system ultimately possible upon the West Coast, and it is the only system which guarantees permanency and^profit. The shares will be pajd for as follow|:— Ten shillings on application, ten' shillings on allotment, and calls of ,£1 each at intervals of at least a mouth. Applications for shares to be made nt the office of the Company, Temple Buildings, Hokitika. 4709 n ARUICK'S HEAD HOTEL, VJT (Opposite, Bank of New South Wales),. Revell stbeet, Hokitika.
