THIS Company is projected to acquire and work mining areas, and in particular a mining area, on the Clutha River, about half a mile above the township of Clyde. Mr Leslie D. Macgeorge, C.E., has visited the ground, and his independent report, which has been made at the request of Messrs Quick and Smith, on behalf of the proposed Company, also the report of Mr Sheehy to the Vendors, can be seen on application to the Brokers. It is proposed to work the claim by a steam dredge with all the latest improvements. An elevator w_ll not be required. The mining area which the Company is formed to acquire consists of almost a mile of the river, and contains 41 acres 3 roods 16 poles, being Section 94. Block 1., and Section 143, Block 11., Leaning Rock District. The subscribers to the Memorandum of Association will act as Directors until the first statutory meeting of shareholders, which is required to be held within four months of the registration of the Company, and will prepare, settle and register Articles of Association in such terms as they consider desirable. The whole of the river between Clyde and Alexandra has of late years been taken up for dredging claims, and it is known that in almost every instance rich returns are being secured. Tlie claim is the first natural basin of made ground below the Cromwell Gorge, and owing to the Gorge and the configuration of the country, the river must have always flowed over the claim, and the vast deposits of " Molyneux gold" on the Dunstan Flat/and right down past the Island Block must have passed over the claim. As the current of the river is impeded by a line of rocks which cross the river at the lower end of the claim, a large quantity of gold must necessarily have been lef twith the gravel and other deposits, and there cannot be. a. risk "of the river having run in another course at tbe time it was bearing auriferous deposits. That gold does exist in large quantities within the area.of this olaim h*W been ft -quently.prored by., -be _ returns pbtain-lj' by,cradling; the::river■ la' ■ : IOW. "'-'■' '"■' ' .V : " ..-■.'.''.'
