Frolli, Napoleon. Provisional Manager: Mr Percy Wakefield, Ahaura. This Company is formed to erect at moderate cost Water-wheel Machinery, to drain and prove the Orwell Creek Flat. The promoters have every reason to believe in the existence of rich leads of gold .on the Flat, which is about four miles in extent, as all the rich workings of Mosquito, Back • Creek, Topsj's Gully, Napoleon and Noonan's lead have been traced into it. The present Shareholders, 11 in number, hold 20 acres, and have for some iinonths past been sinking, and have struck auriferous wash at] a depth of 40ft, at 160 ft from the shaft, but find it necessary to erect certain drainage machinery r and have the ground worked in a systematic and extensive way. There is plenty of available water in the creek which can be secured, arid it is hot expected' that more than a quarter of t the capital will be called up,' ;.: •; , ; The present shareholders will make over to the Company all their rights and interests receiving therefor -'600 paid-up shares, and are willing to bind themselves not to part with the same until a dividend may become payable. Good gold has long been suspected, to exist on this Flat, and on this being fairly established there would be room.for a large population. Early application for shares is requested. Prospectuses and other information, with forms of application, can be obtained from the Provisional Directors or the, undersigned. PERCY WAKEFIELD, ' ! ' " Ahaura. APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
