Tho Company la formed with tho view O£ ac quiring tho following :— (1) Lease known as Dowling'a, of CO acres.

(3) Halt and McUill's extended claim of 3 ac es. (I) Hart;andMct>lH'B water rights,|4 Govern ment heads from Clear Creok, &c. (5) Neilsou'u extended claim of 3 acrqs. (fi) Black and party's extended claim of i acres. (7) lilacß and partj 's water rights, 8 Govern ment heads from Cockney and Camp bell's) Crcoks. Tho nbovo lease and extended claims form a compact block of ground of 70 aores on the torraco immediately to the west of the Rosb township. Tlio eastern boundary is tho well known Mont DOr claim, from whicn tbo ground stretches westerly a distance of about 20 chains, taking tho crown and both sides of the terraco, tho southern boundary being Robinson's Creek, while on tho northorn side tho torraca is taken in. down to what is now tho Ros:i United Company's ground. From tho Mont DOr Company's claim, which , forma tho eastern boundary, 1,550 ounces of gold, of tho value o£ £17,350, havo been taken, and this from a bottom area of only about onu acre ami a half. This Company has, for somo time, been at work at their eastern boundary, and havo sluicerl as far as thoy can in tin's direction; in fact they havo only been stopped by the boundary lino of the pro posed company's ground, and a late washing up ut this bo'iiidfirj- gives tho hand&omo return of 210 ounces. This Mont D'Cr is. at the present timo, tho bc3t alluvial clam in the Ross district, and tho 70 acres of tho propoaed company is simply a coutimiition of tho Mont DOr Com pany'n ground. It may also bo mentioned that tho well known Mount Greenland Company's claim immediately adjoins thut of tho Moat D'Or. About 2 arre.-s of the bottom of the Mount Greenland claim have now bo cleaned, and tho gold obtained'has been's.lll ouncoß, wliiloihe dividends declared by tliia company amount to £7.000. The water rights connected with tho proposed Company aro ol! a very Taluablo character, and aro ample for all requirements. Tho entire length of tlio race i 3 a little over six miles, and a careful cstimato of the cost of construction is sot down at £15,000, an ample margin being allowed for contingencies. The l'rovisjonal Directors aro persuaded that the raco by itself would provo a remunerative undertaking, there boing bo many pnrtios anxious to bo supplied with water, and none availablo.
