This is the first defined plan for Mining in Australia, distinguished
by the following recommendations :
It will promote, l'or Mining pursuits, a perfect organization of
independent emigrants, who, being generally unacquainted wAlf such
occupations, will derive, from an ing at corn-
efficient direcon, hav
mand all requisite machinery and supplies. bentiefits not otherwise
attainable. It will also facilitate the emigration of persons associated
with this Company for Mining purposes.
The Peculiar Inducement to Emigrants in Joining this under-
taking, will be the large remuneration to the working parties ; and
to Shareholders, besides the large anticpated returns on their capital,
the special and acknowledged advantages of the Cost-book are se-

cured.
An application will be made for a Royal Charter to extend the
powers of the Association.
The Prospectus msy be obtained at the offices: and applications
for shares in the subjoined form, with a raspectable reference, to be
addressed to the Committee.
