Bankers : Union Bank of Australia, Christchurch. mHIS COMPANY is formed for the purX pose of working a large area of auriferous ground situated in the Collingwopd Diatrictj Province of Nelson and comprising 33 acres in extent, secured by Leases from the Nelson Government. This Land has been secured by the promoters after a great deal of trouble, and. a considerable sum bus. 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 prof perty, part of which has been uncovered, and a ton of stone 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 district i 3 well known to be a rich gold-bearing one, and that the Company's claim is bounded by' the renowned "Slate River,* 1 from; which very large finds of rich gold have ' been obtained, and is in close 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; purjcliase of the necessary "machinery and apipliances for systematically working the Reef. The convenience at Collingwopd for handling, and the existence of a good road from the Wharf to the Company's claim, 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 Office of C.
