Interim Secretary: -• • G-EO. L. STEWART, Naseby. . The Company is being formed to acquire low Sredging from the vendors, Messrs G-. W. Mason and H. Donnelly, 3 claims of an aggregate area of 92 acres,^ situated in' Spec Gully, about a mile from Naseby. " * . _;The most searching inquiry is invited regard-, ingthe property. .The vendors ask for.4io cash payment^ forHheir interest,, arid: basides, as a ' guarantee of good faith, debar themselyes from . participation in profits until'contributing shares have eaqEireceiyed Mijdividends 5s per: share. • ' ; -Tbft.H;eirAces'''6veil6t]])ang'aii'd:.the gullies "de; , liyeringintq the^e claitos are honeycombed with ' w&kings;;! thevnotablffiirichnes's of which helped' to^earn' for the: Hogbilrn field its; high reputation. ' Quite commonly: the miners here in the early dayd made as much as from £5 to. £30 .a". week, withiprimitiyeriappliances .and water at taniine .prices^-'''Owing to-thewide recognition: of its richness, repeated attempts have been, made to work'Spec'Gully.;'but these .'have failed owing to insufficiency of fall to carry off , tailings. For 'this reason alone these claims remain to-day almost wholly virgin ground. ' A fullyrequipped dr.edge suitable for the '• ' 3laims will cost not more than £3200.' Serious floods, and travelling drift, which in the larger rivers form such an impediment.to . Sledging, ara here absent, so that work will be practically continuous. . •'■ •' .: .■ i, .*? Excellent coal can be landed on the claims at ibout 16s a ton. . , Appended to the prospectus is an exhaustive : ;': report, on the claims by W. Guffie, Esq;., Mayor of Nasebyi who has known the ground for over : J9 years; and who has prospected it. He found excellent prospects" wherever he'tried.; .'■ Near Milkmen's ,Gully, "where, a 4oz nugget—the heaviest^ found in ,thi3 field—was discovered, . a,t"the boundary |of the upper claim;'prospects taken at random from open faces gave an • average of 3 grains: to ths dish. Wherever the bottom has been opened out £ grain to 1| grains to.the dish can be,obtained, with gold in most places throughout the overlying wash. ■'■ The bottom is mostly bluish-grey clay, or Maori' bottom, easily cleaned by the dredge bucket - The wash is very suitable for dredging, being of creek .formation, almost free from boulders, loose and free. The gold is both coarse and fine, and pieces of 5 to 10 grains are frequently found. At the very lowest estimate he expects the return over the whole claim to be not less than 4 to 5 grains- per cubic yard, while one jfain, which means a return of lOoa per week, pays expenses. Above the upper boundary cradling paid well, and there a considerable iroa has been worked as often as fqur - times. Ec : has every confidence, in the success oi a. hedge placed here. : ' ;• •>-> '; - Substantial support already' privately promised almost assures the flotation of the Com-' aany. Ths provisional agreement, or a copy iherepf, for the transfer of the claims to the Company can be seen at the office of tha Brokers, or of the Secretary. Flotation expense's to be borne by the Company. Authority 9 given to, the provisional directors to register ;he Company when 3000 contributing shares are ipplied for. . Copies of prospectus on application to tne Brokers, or to the Secretary. San , ' \ ■ ■■■'■■' '.■'.■■ OTAGO WITNESS .' Thursday, Awg: 18. SOME FLYING GLIMPSES. , ■ Br Edith Seakle GnpssMANtf.
