The above operations of the now celebrated Vigra and
Cllogau Company, situate near Dolgelly, Merionethshire,
:showing the results of 191 months' workinr prove the
existence of gold in the quartz reefs of North Wales" in such
quantity and richness as to be largely remunerative. The
above Company, although it has been in operation less than
two years, has yielded in profits more than double its ori-
ginal outlay, and is at the present moment making returns
annually at a rate approaching three 'times the amount of
its capital, from operations on a very limited scale, and by
processes which are, no doubt, capable of great improve-
/neut.
This Company is established for the purpose of carrying
out operations on a very large scale, and by the best known
Methodet of extraction, and the directors have secured a
po surrounding itnines imniediately contiguos to, and
alrfkost the famous Clogau Gold Mine; they

the Hendreforion setts, ce,mprising an extent of upwards of
1,500 acres, and abounf!ting in 'magnificent quarta_lodes.

'the St. John del Rey Company), to obtain his valuable
'opinion on the several properties, and they refer with satis-
faction to his report, as bearing out their expectations of
successful results.
In the Wellington and North Vigra Mines, levels have
been driven on large lodes, which Captain Treloar has pro-
f„,t,cunced as identical in character with the quarts of the St.
David's Gold Lode, and this is confirmed by the opinion of
!lie,other competent authorities, including Captain Parry, of
*Vigra and Clogau Mines, and Captain Pascoe, who all
'eiYak that one of the lodes now working on the North Vigra
is a continuation of that now famous lode.
No steam power will be required. The property possesses
an unfailing supply of water amply sufficient for all pur-
Piee s, and everything is in so'forward a state that the Cora-
sy will be able to stamp at the rate of 70 to 100 tons of
gllkriz per week within one month from its formation.
The Directors have made arrangements to purchase the
Qitire interests of the several proprietors, embracing all pre-
Nious outlay on the mines, wed every expense up to the for-
Mation of the Company, am', including buildings, machinery,
stamps, waterwheels, tramways, watercourses, ore upon

slares with £1 paid, which the vendors
have stipulated to b.ave appropriated to them.
That on nearly one thousand tons of quartz crushed by
the Vigra and ri.;l..ogau Company, an average of nearly 71 oz.
of standard g)01,c1 per ton has been obtained, is an indisput-
able fact ; f/v.t it would be too sanguine to expect a result so
favourable. ,on the large scale of operations contemplated by
!tiliB C°frspany. Yet the Directors feel bound to call atten-
been r
ion to `araother fact, viz., that a profit of nearly.Eloo,ooo has
dari• Mother
by the St. John del Rey Company, in Brazil,
ire,.,_ ay, the past year, from ore containing an average of only
e' -quarters of an ounce of gold per ton, and they are ad-
Vieei that very large dividends can be made by this Com-
Par.y if an average of only half an ounce per ton can be ob-
tal.ned.
Samples of the gold ore from the Cambrian Mines to be
teen at the Exhibition, Class 1, Eastern Annex, and copies
of the Reports of Captain Thos. Treloar and other mining
authorities, may be had at the offices of the Company.
A large portion of the capital has already been subscribed
Prospectuses and forms of application for the remaining
shares may be obtained of Messrs.. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill,

gold field
agreeably to your request, visited
-u°,lge'll'y gold field in North Wales.
ra„„Of_tile• 'existence of gold in Wales, I have been aware for
qu—a,,Ye.ars, but that it occurred there in any appreciable
witlt't'.Y, I' did not believe until a few days ago. Indeed,
place'' you asked me to inspect some gold mines at that
ray impression was, that I should find there a little
ae precious metal manifestly out of its place. I was
t'reeably disappointed.
beb The future of North Wales is in the womb of time • but
the result what it may, at present there is a goldfield
teen Dolgelly of high promise, one which merits the atten-
° of the miner and capitalist, and my regret was that I
."Ct tOt more days at my disposal than I had hours for in-
Pecting it.
ca.reful geological examination by me was out of the
Tiestion, owing 'co want of time ; but I may state that, on
my arrival at tke gold field, the rock, the hilly nature of
taro sUrface, ezie rugged outcrop of the lode, and the moun-
ze:l,3,of Ca'Zter Idris in the distance, forcibly reminded
•Ast`.?_ Prjrtion of the gold mining field in Brazil.
beeiin't° bolgelly gold fields a kind of green stone seems to
„,`" mime rock of the country, but the rock enclosing
eve ',all,ferous lode is a tolerably hard dark slate. To the
4itirtc e latter appears wanting in the mineral life, but this
ope.lae is contradicted by the lodes, for they, so far as yet
Ad, present great mineral and metalliferous vitality.
uf the number and extent of the lodes in the Dolgelly
lßold field, or the extent of the field itself, I believe no one
'eerte„kll°Nvs• I saw mines and surface diggings at nine dif-
vb -t Points, and I believe they are on six different lodes
°se leading characters are more or less the same. They
11.") Parallel, they run easterly and westerly, underlie a trifle
bin; form in many places high angles with the cleavage
Wiles of the containing rock, and consist chiefly of aurife-
s'llAs qartz, iron, copper, iron pyrites, and blende.
'l'B a class, they are not so wide as the auriferous rock
formationsl in Brazil. They do not average, perhaps, more
all three feet wide ; but, as I shall show directly, the
111,1,41,43 r compensates for the difference in size.
DL-le names of the mines, or infant diggings, are St.
at,',;yld's) 'Wellington, Vira, Hendreforin, Liao h-Faith,
Cambrian. Of these,g St. David's and Cambrianr have
Corded the greatest quantities of gold, because they have
;taell more extensively wrought. In both the precious
etal was visible when I was there, and handsome sped-
b were quarried in my presence, especially at the Cam-
-11141. Seem'was g believing.
vettinthge Wellington sett mineral lde is wide, so it is capable of
large supplies of, which in all respects,
kept visible gold, is similar to St.. David's Lode.
41,-Lhe longitudinal extent examined by me was about two
js Iles, or from Wellington to Cambrian, and this distance
aufficiently large for extensive mining operations.
Bt. David's Lode, in the Clogau Hill, is the most eaten-
flvelY developed, but even this, I must repeat, is in its in-
allcY. Taking, however, the results already obtained here
Bela basis, I feel
of to say that the Dolgelly gold
is a locality of very high promise. The excavations
en the lode consist of a couple of levels, a winze, and a little
atoping. The total quantity of mineral quarried does not
perhaps exceed 2,0,0 tons. Of this I
find by the official
returns supplied me that 942 tons have been treated, that
it yielded 7,041 ounces of gold, or 74 ounces per ton, and
that its net value amounted to £26,579,
The rich ore has been very properly separated from the
Door for treatment, and while the former has yielded nearly
400 ounces of gold per ton, the latter has given upwards of
an ounce. Even if the ore on the bank were worthless—
Which is not the fact, for it consists of the ordinary atone
age the Mine—still the gold extracted would give an aver-
4ge standard or yield for the Mine of upwards of three
ounces of gold per ton. Viewing, therefore, all the poncescitcum-
as to the quantity of the ore yet untreated, and the
of treatment, the average value of the lode is perhaps
'Awards of five ounces of gold per ton. Now the ore at the
celebrated St. John Del Rey Mine does not average three-
411arters of an ounce per ton.
