THIS COMPANY ia formed for the purpose of working a large area of auriferous ground eituatid in the Collingwood District, Province of Nelson, and comprising 33 acres in extent, Becured by Leases from the Nelson Government. Thia Land has been secured by the promoters after a great deal of trouble, and a considerable sum has been expended in the development of the property, the purchase of tools, &c. ; resulting, however, in the satisfactory proof that the Company possesses a well-defined Reef, traceable through the property, part of which has been uncovered, and a ton of atone taken from it, at a depth of only eleven feet from the surface, crushed at the Kurunui Battery, yielding 8 dwts. of gold. In submitting this venture to the public, the promoters invite special attention to the facts that the diatrict ia well known to be a rich gold-bearing one, and thatthe Company's claim is bounded by the renowned "Slate River," from which very large finds of rich gold have been obtained, and ia in clore proximity to the Perseverance Company's claim, whose last crushing of 50 tons yielded 172J ounces of gold. The main object of extending the present Company is for the purpose of introducing additional Capital for the immediate purchase of the necesßary machinery and appliances for systematica l^ working tjie Reef. The convenience at Collingwood for landing, and tbe existence of a good road front the Wharf to the Company's olaim, renders it comparatively easy and inexpensive to get machinery on to. the ground. *** Applications for Shares, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per Share, will be received at the Offlce of C.
