WAIHI, UPPER THAMES. Capital : £30,000, in 30,000 Shares of £1 Each. The Shareholders having formed a Company, with a. Capital of £30,000, in 30,000 Shares of £1 Each, to work the Mine, which comprises claims known as Jones', Little Lizzie, and Waitete, containing about sixty men's ground, now offer to the Public 6000 Shares at a premium of 10s each, the proceeds of sale of Shares to purchase and erect a 20-head stamper battery at the Mine. The Shares are offered on the following terms, viz.» 5s on application, 2s 6d per Share on Ist October, 1881. The Directors have allotted 19,000 Shares to the Original Shareholders, and reserve 5000 Shares for purchase of adjoining claim or claims ; the balance of 6000 are offered as above. The Company's ground adjoins the Dulcibel and Martha claims at Waihi, in which the reef- (37 feet through) has been proved to be gold-bearing at different points through the ground. The gold from this district has been sold for £3 14s 6d per ounce.
