The present Shareholders, 11 in number, hold 20 acres, and have for some months 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 certaia drainage machinery, and have the ground worked in a systematic and extensive way. .
