Broker: HARMAN REEVES, Vogel street, Dunedin, to whom applications for shares must be made. THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL is asked for in order to allow of extensive alteration being effected to the Dredge. The Dredge, up to the present, has been worked with hand winches, small buckets, etc., and it is now proposed, witli Hie additional capital, to erect steam winches, add a new belt of large buckets, j new main ladder, and put the Dredge in a \ thoroughly up-to-date and good working order. The report and opinion of the Consulting Engineers (Messrs Cutten Bros.) is most favorable to the intended alterations. GOLD RETURNS.—The returns from the Dredge as she is working at present average 9 ounces of gold per week, but have been improving, last week’s return being 10 ounces. The returns have reached 18 ounces per week. It is estimated that when the larger buckets are on, and the dredge put in thorough working order, the returns will increase nearly double. As it does not take more than 7 ounces of gold to pay all expenses, there should be a profit of at least per week. The owners of the adjoining claim, where a modern dredge is at work, are evidently satisfied with (heir returns, as they are building a second dredge. (Their returns are not made public.) THE CLAIM consists of 100 acres, 10 acres only having been dredged so far. There is al least fifteen years’ work before this Company. DIVIDENDS will be paid alike on all shares, irrespective of the amount called up. ADVANTAGES.—The Nevis Gold Dredging Company, Limited, offers—--Ist.

Cheap working, as 7 ounces of gold per week will cover all expenses. sth. A small share capital as compared with the companies recently floated. 6th. Dividends of at least 7s 6d per share per year for the next fifteen years.
