This Company is formed for working the gold minerals in Aus-
tralia, by an approved patented process, which will enable the
Company to extract a larger quantity of gold from a given quantity
of the ore than by any other known method now in operation, and
at a saving of two-thirds the present expense, both in labour and
Machinery.
This invention has been satisfactorily demonstrated, and is pro•
tested by her 31ajatya Royal Letters Patent, the Company having
secured all the rights and privileges for working, and the agency for
negotiating the same in Australia.
The Company do not intend to undertake mining operations, or to
purchase land in the Colony, unless some most favourable opportu-
nity shall present itself; and then only after the consent of the
shareholders has been obtained
The organization of the mineral department will be placed under
the able superintendence of that eminent metallurgist and geologist,
Thomas Rowlandson, Eac/., C.E., F.G.S., whose abilities and prac-
tical knowledge in all matters connected with mining and refining
are well known.
An agent has already been dispatched by the Diuliva, which railed
en the 9th Fehruary for Melbourne, with powers to make the pre-
liminary arrangements.
The Company intend purchasing from mining convenes and In-
dividuals the auriferous ores; as also to undertake the reduction of
ores for any parties by the patent process, on terms mutually to be
agreed upon.
It is arranged to pay for the patent right and other contracts of
the Company by an allotment of shares, and permission will be re-
served to increase the capital if found necessary.
Under these circumstances this Company is formed, not with wild
anticipations of boundless wealth, but on reasonable calculations of
probable results, and remunerative profits.
With these advantages, which are self-evident, together with the
plan on which the Company will be carried out, under the manage-
ment of a responsible and competent board in London, every doubt-
ful contingency will be avoided, and the success of the pre-ent Coin-
PRIV established on a profitable and permanent basis, which cannot
fail to insure large dividends to the shareholders.
The Company are making arrangements for obtaining the super-
intending agency of one of the most responsible mercantile Louses in
the colony.
Applications for Shares can be made, on or before the 6th of April
in the Company's printed form, which, with prospectuses, may be
obtained at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street ; or of
