They comprise Seven Working Claims, held by separate miniDg parties : and it is now proposed to amalgamate these for their more economical and efficient working. These mines are alluvial, the terraces being composed of gravel and sand, deposited in remote ages by aqueous action, as explained in the report of Professor Ulrich, F.G.S., in 'Geological > xplorations,' 1883. besides the reports of H. A. Gordon, Esq., tho Government Inspecting Mining Engineer, and W. L. Simpson, Esq., late Warden of the Otago Goldfields, which are attached to the Prospectus, and are of a very favorable nature. The properties have been reported upon by Thomas Hedley, Esq., Hydraulic Mining Engineer, a highly qualified expert in sluicing from MittaMitta, ia the Queen's District, Victoria, who, in his report, says after recommending certain works to be undertaken by the Company:— "To carry oat the required works will practically cost LIO.OOO. " I estimate that this plan will be capable of dealing with 1.000,000 cubic yards per year, at a cost of LB.OOO. "I estimate that the yield will be from 6d to 8d per yard, and equal to 130,000 value per annum—affording an annual profit of at least L 20.000. "I have every confidence in the payable nature of the ground, and the area is so extensive that 150 years' working under the most favorable circumstances will not oxhaußt it. "The amount of money required to open the mine in a complete manner is unusually small when compared with the vastness of the venture. "I am confident if the ground be properlyopened up—water scheme extended so as to command at the high level all tho available water, and the whole directed efficiently— the returns will exceed my estimate, and I have no hesitation in recommending the venture with every confidence." Beside the water races which havo been constructed at great cost by the original owners, there are several "dams" on the ground for water storage, and a large quantity of mining plant, valued at 1.2,500, all being included in the purchasing price. These are in good working order, and available for immediate operation ; indeed, thev are now in use, and all tho. new plant required is hydraulic piping and more effective gold-saving appliances. The price asked for the whole of these mi»s» is L 35.000 in cash and pail-up shares. By the substitution of "hydraulic" sluicing or "surface" sluicing, the output can easily be quintupled, and improved gold-saving appliances will certainly double tho proportionate yield. Under such conditions the mines would it is estimated, produce from 6,0000z to 7,0000z per annum for the next 150 years at least. It is worthy of note that any amount of water can be obtained from the Teviot River from any desired elevation up to 2,500 feet. Prospectus and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Brokers or Bankers of the Company. The share list will be positively closed on the 31st day of August.
