rpHE Victoria Lease Application, which lias been recommended by His Honor the Superintendent for granting, is a well known quartz-reef claim at Skipper's, and contains seventeen acres of a very promising description of reef formation. The ground has been fully tested, and two excellent and well-defined lodes or reefs discovered. These are both of them highly auriferous, and it is believed that a third and newly discovered reef—the Pactolus runs through the lease also. Practical reefers at Skipper's ai-e of the opinion that this claim will be another Scandinavian. It is on the same line of reef as that claim, and adjoins the celebrated Prince of Wales Company's claim.

The Mining Surveyor's report proclaims the value of this claim, and is hereunto appended. The promoters accept .£3,000 in paidup shares for their interest. They will further, take up capital, and withhold their shares from the market.

A valuable water-right is attached, and the outlay in consequence of the peculiarly favorable position of the claim working will be very limited. Not more than £3,000, it is expected, will be required to erect machinery, and commence crushing operations.

Applications for Shares will be received Victoria Chambers, Manse-street. February 21. 1860. THE attention of Trustees of Insolvent Estates is directed to Clause 11 of the Debtors and Creditors Act Amendment Act. 18G5:—
