Capital : L 24.000, in 2-i.OOO Shares of : Ll Each, oi which 10* per share sliall lie considered as Paid-up. f "IJE Company is to be one of 24,000 ! shares, and is to be formed for the ;>uip'>«e «.f taking over and working the Lone Star and Orient leases, comprising in area of 33 iii-res situated on the main range between the Lift Hand Branch of the luaugdhuu River raid Boatman's Creok, ami <m t||..- muni line as the Fieiy Cross and Welcniw ivefjj. The promoters, Messrs Heaphy and M'Caffrey, having traced pajul'le stone on thf suiincf for a l"iig distance, started H drive on the southern slope of the range on the fall towards the Tnan^-ihua River, and having followed the renf for a disiauce of 40 feet sank a wi"ze on it to a ;h«pih of 35 fwet. The reef ranges from li| feet to 2 teet in thickne.-:-, Utwveii Iwk weli defined walls ; it is entirely frje from mullock and allows gold freely. A trial crushing of 20 tons gave 34 ounces lldwts. of molted gold. The Appearance nf the reef and the count '-y in whL'h it Me* indicate pel manenry.

The position of tiie. ground gives it ' many advantages. o»vin^ t<> the fli>ntour of the cuntry, level after level can bo driven with e.<>n?|inr:xrively little expense. There is an unlimited supply < f water for crushing purpose* at a distance of about 40 chains, over which an inclined or aerial tramway could easily be constructed. Machinery can be landed with trifling cost, the river bed affording a good road for wattaons. There is plenty of limber on the ground for all the requirements of minim; or l>ui!din<r purports. The reefs in the Boa* man's disirict have almost invarahly been highly payable, and ; in none of them at their early stages was there a better show of stone and gold than is now to be seen in the tunnel and winze in the Lone Star lease. The pron ocers are now putting 18,000 shares on the market at 2-< per share, retaining 6000 in their own !>,iu<ls showing . thereby the c«Miti<b?!;<v which they have hi the property.
