LEARY (of Barr, Leary, and Co.). > This Company is projected to acquire and work' mining areas, and in particular a mining area on the Olutha river, about half a mile above the township of Clyde. Mr Leßlie D. Macgeorge, D.E., has visited/fchegronnd, and his independent repott (which has been made at the request of Messrs Quick and Smith on behalf of the proposed Company), the report of Mr Sheehy to the vendors, the plan of the clairaj and the proposed Memorandum of Association of the Company can be seen at the Office of the Brokers. It is proposed to work the claim by a steam Sredge, with all the litest improvements. An elevator will not be required. The mining area whioh the Company is formed to acquire consists of almost a mile of the river, and contains 41 acres 3 roods 16 poles, being Section 94, Black I, and Section 143, Block 11, Lean- . ins: Rock district. The whole of the river between Clyde and Alexandra has of late years been taken up for dredgieg claims, and it is known that in almost every instance rich returns are being secured. j The claim is the first natural basin of made j ground below the Cromwell Gorge, and owing to j -the gorge and the configuration of the country the river must have always flowed over the claim, and the vast deposits of Molyneux gold "on the Dunattm Flat x aud right down paafc the Island Slock must have passed over the claim. L As the current of the river is impeded by a line of rocks which cross the river at the lower end of the clstlm, a large quantity of gold must neces- j earily huve been left with the gravel and other deposits, and there canmt be a risk of the river having tun in another course at tho time it was bearing auriferous deposits. - ~ That gold does exist in large quantities within the area of this claim has been frequently proved ' by the returns obtained by cradling whenever the river is low. Special attention is directed to the fact that the Vendors' Shares receive no dividends until the Subscribing Shareholders have been recouped the amount of their outlay. The LIST will Ci.OSE on MONDAY, July SO, amd copies of Prospectus, with forms of application, can be obtained on application to the Brokers. 7jy
