Dear Sir,-Complying with your request in references to the leases held bv you included in the chum known as the Roxburgn Lead, in reference to that- portion of the claim adjoinmg the Roxburgh Jubilee claim, i may say that we commenced dredging at your boundary witn the Jubilee dredge, and found a spicudid bedv of wash carrying "ood "old Wp Ci good returns whilst dredging, and got as high as 38oz per week, and I reckon we we’re no working more (ban bait-time owing to stoppages caused by the incompetency of the dred"c It, is my opinion that with an up-to-date dredge you must get good returns. I have m hesitation in saying that the property is a good one. Yours faithfully, D. D. ELDER, Vendor Jubilee Dredge Party, Roxburgh. Mr R. Cock burn. Roxburgh, January 8, 1900. Dear Sir.—Re your holdings here in the river and hank, which is to be known as tht Roxbur"h Lead, I think you have one of the best properties in the district, for the bant alongside the Dunedin is one of the best banks I know of. There is good -old from fh op as far as we went down, for we have never got one bottom, and when the rive™ w u high 12 months ago we worked into the bank, and out of a small piece about the size of dredge we got £2.500 worth of gold. I can show you or anyone £ it and sue is doing well at present, butcannot get into the bank; and we have "oodgolc all the way m front of your claim. Then as to the river holding: When such dred-o as Jubilee and Endeavor have got such good returns at both top and bottom of vour difm and as there is no oilier way that the gold ever got down to the flats below bit th-ou"} jour cbm., and as the Endeavor got 19oz for three days’ work at the bottom end am the Jubilee got more than that at the top end land I have worked oil both these diedffes and I know what they can do). I am certain that an up-to-date dredge will do more thar the two, for t.,ey never saved much more than half the gold. As none of vonr grounc is old workings, my belief is that an up-to-date dredge will get from ISOoz in innra week, tor the gold is there, but we hiivo few dredges THOS. H.
