PROSPECTUS OF THE ■yiCTORIA QUARTZ MINING COMPANY. It is proposed to register the above Company under the “Mining Companies’ Limited Liability Act, 1865,’’ and the “ Mining Companies’ Limited Liability Act Amendment Act, 1869.” The Company hold, under a Gold-mining Lease granted for fifteen years, a Claim on the Aurora Line at Bendigo Gully, being No. 1 East, or next to the Aurora Company’s Claim. The area of the Lease is sixteen acres, two roods, or a distance of one thousand eight hundred and eighteen links along the line of reef, by nine hundred and nine links in width. The prospects of this Claim are very good, and fairly warrant the erection of machinery, in view of which the present shareholders (eight in number) have determined to offer two hundred shares to the public, the price of such shares to be £lO each, retaining six hundred shares, fully paid up, for themselves, the total number of eight hundred jshares representing the present value of the Lease and Claim, including capital already expended in testing the ground. The amount of work already performed on the Claim has proved the existence of the Reef throughout its entire length, and to a depth of forty-five feet, with no diminution in the quantity or apparent value of the stone, of which about twenty tons, showing gold, have been brought to grass. The extensive engagements previously entered into by the proprietors of the Crushing Machines already erected on the Reefs, are such as to preclude the possibility of obtaining a crushing for several months ; and it is on this ground principally that the public are invited to take shares in the undertaking, so as to raise the necessary capital for the purchase and erection of machinery. Water is easily obtainable, and the necessary applications have been lodged for water-rights, and for a special site for machinery. Applications for Shares will be received until the 30th April, at Clyde, by H. C. Bate, Manager pro tem. ; and by W, Oram Ball, Esq., Dunedin. Deposit on application, 10s. Amount to be paid on allocation, £2 10s. Balance in calls as required. A meeting will be called immediately after the allocation of the shares ; and Directors and other officers of the Company will then be elected from and by the shareholders, and steps will also be taken for the proper registration of the Company under the Mining Companies’ Limited Liability Act*. H, C. BATE, Manager, pro t«v t.
