(Before Mr Warden Revell). Friday, November 17th 1882. The following applications for special claims were adjourned from the following day: — WELCOME CONSOLS. Charles Clifford, I am the applicant in thia case on behalf of the company. We are applying for a special claim of 50 acres, situated at Little Boatman's Creek, and have applied to the County Council for the use of the Diamond Drill. Thia ground is taken up for prospecting purposes. A portion of the ground was formerly held under lease and abandoned as they found a difficulty in prospecting the ground in consequence of coal measures overlapping the country. I think it will take £10,000 to open up the ground and erect machinery. I wish the Bpecial claim, if granted, made out in the name of Mr Hind marsh, as secretary of the company. The Warden said he would recommend the application.
