This Company Is formed foe the purpose of purchasing and
minting two valuable freehold mineral properties, known as tha
Wheal Fortune and Wheal Virgin Min.. situated 30 miles from
the shipping port of Gerakiton, In the Champion Bay district of
Western Australia.
The propery comprises 130 acres ;if freehold land with the
minerals, and was obtained direct from the crown In the
year 1850, by local adventurers, who subscribed a limited
capital, which was expended in the purchase of the land and the
necessary mining plant, leaving a balance of only 8.300 to com-
mence operations. Three shafts are already sunk to the respec-
tive depths of 8, 12, and VS fathoms, and several distinct copper
lodes and lead-bearing croak-muses discovered. From one or
two of the former SO tons of copper ore have been raised and
transmitted to this country, and sold at Swansea, by public
ticketing', between February 14, 1800, and June 10, left, the
per ecotone of which for puce copper averaged 24, end realised
the sum of £18,109 Oa ad., as is evidenced by the following
transcript of the ticket males thereof. In addition to which,
about 100 tons of tick lead ore have been obtained from a cross-
course, and sold for L 837. A further parcel of 100 tons of copper
ore is advised at the port, ready for sbipment. Altogether the
clear profit during the two years was !AIM, on the initial wort-
log capital of £BOO, exclusive of the purchase as aforesaid. The
operations at the mines are continued, and the yield of ore in-
creases as the works progress, so that proportionate receipts may
be anticipated.
The copper ore was consigned to Messrs. Wm. Jackson ►nd
Co., of Great Winchester-street, London, and sold to their order
at Swansea—namely . _ _ .
