THE CHANCELLORSVILLE FREEHOLD
GOLD MINING COMPANY.—The Directors of the Chan-
cellorsville Freehold Gold Mining Company, while preparing to
lay before the Shareholders an elaborate Report, deem it deal-
rable, as much delay has unavoidably occurred, to put forwarti a
few general facts with reference to their proceedings since their
last statement.

The Directors are happy to be able to say that the stability
and permanent success of this undertaking are now placed
beyond doubt and uncertainty.
Some months have elapsed since the Directors received con-
siderable consignments of the ore, in consequence of theirdeter-
mination that its reduction, and the extraction of the gold and
silver it was known to contain, should take place iu England
rather than on the estate itself, away from their more direct
control. Repeated assays of the ore thus received, made by the
most eminent analytical chemists, at once confirmed the original
reports of its value.
The great difficulty with which the Directors had to contend
—a difficulty which is now entirely overcome—arose from the
non-existence of any machinery by which positive results could
be arrived at on a scale sufficiently large to establish au average
and at a remunerative cost.

They also felt themselves bound to give a trial to various pro-
positions made by gentlemen who believed that they possessed
the means of arriving at the desired result.
A reduction of the ore has been made upon a quantity so large
as to establish a fair average, with such a yield of gold and at
such a cost of reduction, as more than to justify all anticipations,
and to render the success of the undertaking a matter of cer-
tainty.
In the meantime the Directors are making arrangements for
the regular transmission of the ore, and for its reduction on a
scale commensurate with the extent of the undertaking.
They will be able, in the more full report they will shortly
publish, to state the exact expenses and the average profit.
The Directors have also the satisfaction to and that there will
be no necessity for any increase of the capital of the Company,
which is quite sufficient for the purposes of the undertaking.
By order, W. S. TROTTER, Secretary.
