This Company has been formed for the purpose of working Gold,
Copper, and other minerals in the vast range of mountains 'corn-
Prising the Liverpool Range, the Blue Mountains, the Australian
_Alps, and others traversing the colonies of New South Wales and
• • victoria fromm north to south, termed by geologists the " Great Aus-
tralian Cordilleras," and the various flanks and streams contiguous.
, In addition to geld. and copper, these mountain ranges are well
known to abound. with various other valuable minerals—Plating,
silver, and lead; preCious stones are also stated to be among their
hidden treasures.
The Committee of Management have entered into a provisional
!_oatraet for a Zitineral,Lease of 4,000 acres of the celebrated Segenhoe
Estate in;the county of Brisbane, in the Hunter River district, where
valuable veins of gold quartz, and copper ore of rich quality have
been dlsceveked.
The Quartz rocks that run through the Segenhoe Estate are pro-
nounceA to be the fountain-head from whence are annually carried
12, the flood the debris that form the auriferous alluvial deposits of
the River Hamer. (See a pamphlet, " Australia and her Treasures,"
Atiblfshed by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.)
The valtiable testimony (as to the auriferous mineral wealth of
this regio'n) contained in the pamphlet before alluded to, is fully
Corroborated by the fact, that the report of the Government Sur-
veYors,, Messrs... Hargreaves and Stutchbury, who have lately
returned to Sydney from exploring the district, has been deemed
the Colonial authorities of too exciting a nature for present
Publication.
The titles to land in Australia, being all originally derived from
grants- or purchases direct from the Crown,• are clear and un-
questionable.
The provisional contract and draft lease will lie for Inspection of,
Shareholders at the Company's Offices in London, and copies of the
lame at the offices at Plymouth.
In dispatching a staff of officers, engineers, and foremen, with the
requisite machinery and appliances, it will be the study of the Com-
mittee of Management to cmabine the greatest efficiency with a
judicious economy, and to obviate the disadvantages arising ftom
Me enormbizs cost of entirely employing European labour, arrange-
ments have been entered into for the engagement of large numbers
ofti Chinamen, on reasonable terms, to proceed from Hong-Kong and .
the neighbourhood to Australia, to meet the Superintendent's staff
kth, rt machinery at Newcastle, on the mouth Of the Hunter River.
The value of Chinese as workmen has already been fully tested in
California and New South Wales, where large numbers, are already
and daily arriving.
The Company being formed on the Cost-book System, share-
holders will not be required -to sign any deed until the Royal
...Ciarter is obtained ; and as the scrip certificates will be issued
On the purser to bearer, it -will be optional for any one to sign
