This Company is being formed to acquire from the present owner and work by a dredge a olaim' on the Gold Creek, Chatton, com- prising about 100 acres. .■From the reports it will be seen that a dredge lifting only 45 cubic yards per hour would give a net return of nearly £54 for 24 hours' work. It is intended, however, to place! a dredge on the ground capable of lifting 60 cubio yards of material per hoiA, at a cost pf about £2000, and as lignite is abundant in the locality there will be no difficulty in regard to fuel. The working expenditure of the dredge per week id esti- mated to- be not more than £25. The wash is of a speoially easy nature to work, and is of an average 'depth of 12 feet. The claim ;■ being within, five miles of Gore, intending investors, are requested to inspect, same in order to satisfy' themselves as to the bona fide nature of 'the undertaking. There is ah ample supply of water to work the dredge. ,' Shares will be allotted' in accordance with priority of , application, and as 2000 shares have already been applied for, the share list will close on- Tcesdat, 22o'd February, Applica- tions may be made to Mr James Holland or Mr S. G. Inder, Gore, and, as only a limited number of shares are available, early appli- cation is necessary. Reports.
