Capital, £400, In 800 shares of 10s each, 5s per share payable on allotment, the balance in two calls of 2s 6d each.

Mining Agent : G. F. Martin. r pHIS Company is being formed to sink a shaft JL on the flat, Glen quoich Station, near to Diggings, north of the Dome, kuown as the Old Wakatipu. The opinion which some have held for many years has now become general with practical as well as scientific men, that in the locality referred to a deep lead of heavy gold exists. Some years ago a shaft wa& sunk about 70 feet without slabbing, and though bottom was not reached, very satisfactory prospects were obtained, which would have been followed up had not the Lake Diggings caused a rush in that direction, which broke up the party. After this shaft waa sunk, the ground was purchased, but arrangements, it is now found, can be made with the owner, should it be ultimately decided by the Permanent Managing Committee (when elected by the shareholders) to be preferable to sinking on the adjoining Crown Lands. * It is anticipated by the experience gained in sinking the above shaft that there will be no necessity for expensive pumping apparatus. It is contemplated by the Committee to reserve say 200 shares for the men who are to be engaged in the actual work of sinking, either to be given in lieu of wages, or held for a time to enable them to purchase, the opinion being that the best guarantee for operations being pushed on satisfactorily is for those employed to have an interest in the claim. Irrespective of sharing in the general advantage to all classes in* the district calculated to result from the discovery of a deep sinking, and consequently permanent goldfield, the Committee would call attention to the individual benefit to shareholders in this Company which would accrue from the obtaining of an extended claim should Crown Land be decided on, a somewhat similar extension being offered on the private land alluded to.
