Land.

V tr,

"e have much pleasure ipublishing the follow
correspondence.—En..SUN,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—ln The Sun of last evening I read a paragraph
about Gipps' Land, where, it seems, that Professor Ander-
son, the Wizard, has some property. As lam about to
emigrate ;there I want to know if it• is as good a place as
it is said to be. There are four of my friends who are
going out with me, and we would all like to hear a little
more from Professor Anderson about the kind of place it
is, and what our chances are. .If you have any more news
from him. will you oblige r,s by publishing it. Yours rc-
T6sctfully,
• Wrizinat HUGHES.
Lower Sloane-street, Chelsea.

TO THE EDITOR -or THE sSi m
r,—l. can give no information to your correspondent,
Willi am Hughes. I purchased the property in Gipps'
Land 'at a land sale in Melbourne in 1859, never imagining
that it would realise £2O profit. • Hor.'ever, for the in tion of your correspondent and others, I enclose you
the letter of my agent in Melbourne, Which you are at
liberty to publish.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

MY DEAR AXDBRSON,—I have some very good news for
you about that property you bought in Gipps' Land, and
the papers for which you left with me. The picture on this
will show what your property was like, and now it is on
the outskirts of a town ! I wrote to you about their first
finding gold in:that part of the ountry, and I told you that
I had got Simpson to go over and see about your land. Ho
told me when ho came back that he believed it would turn
up all right soon—and so it has. " The yield of gold in the
neighbourhood is richer than anywhere around Gipps'.
Land—put in her. produce with Buckworth last year and
beat Ballarat. Ballarat did 72,203 ounces for the year,
and Buckworth with Gipps' Land did 83,083 ounces, with
a higher average by far; her average being 1 oz. 3 dwt.
16 3-7th gr., and Ballarat only 4 dwt. 16 2-sth gr. They've
built a town adjoining your property, and call it Sale.
It's going ahead, and a railway through from Buckworth
will be constructed very soon. No w, mind this, my dear
Anderson, your property is every day growing in value.
They want it. now, and I was so much surprised at what
I heard it could be sold for that I have boon over to see it.
There is no mistake about it, but that every square yard
of it will soon be worth a bag of gold. I think I could sell
it for you before the end of the year for thirty thousand
poundS, or thereabouts; but would not liko to make any move
without having full instructions from you. Why
can't you come out yourself ? It would pay you
better than conjuring, and hots Hai you might b.-
come there's no knowing. James Wilson, who bought
at the same sale you did, has sold his and has gone
off to Calcutta with his money. God has thrown a.
stroke of luck in your way, and you must attend to it
Write me out full instructions, and send me proper power
of attorney to do whatever you want, but come yourself if
you can.—Yours, my dear Anderson, your friend to serve,
ANDREW MACLACRLAN.
To Professor Anderson, London.
