The growing importance of South Australia —its vast mineral
riches—its agricultural and pastoral capabilities, and the recent dis-
covery of gold fields,—all these features combine to render this colony,
at the present time, particularly attractive for the investment of
capital.
The present Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and
acquiring land, and gold and other ores, in South Australia ; to be
worked, let on royalty, leased, or otherwise disposed of.
—The promoters of the Company have made arrangements fer the
•

p,smorajuitse mecum-
tome of which the existence of auriferous depofflts has been' salis-
faetorily proved, while in others veins of copper and silver lead have
been found to exist.
Some specimens of the gold ores with which these lands abound,
and which were sant direct from the spot, will be remembered as
forming an attractive feature in the Great Exhibition last year.
It is important to remark, that, of the properties comprised in the
present arrangement, some are in the immediate vicinity, and all are
within a moderate distance of the city of Adelaide, the capital of
South Australia.
So far hack as the month of November, 1850, an examination of
the South Para and Onkaparinga properties was commenced under
the auspices of Capt. John Phillips, and the result of his obiervations
• was so favourable as to induce the proprietors to proceed with the
investigation, which has been continued from time to time until the
present moment, and it now appears to be incontestably established
- that there exists, at a moderate depth from the surface, a shelf or
basin, which is the true auriferous formation; and above this, seve-
ral deposits of detritus have accumulated, which abound in gold.
In the report which has been received it is estimated that these
deposits may be turned over at a moderate outlay, leaving a profit
of upwards of .£50,000 on each of the sections of gold land. This re-
sult may be obtained as a preliminary to the ultimate object of the
Company-11z., the development of the true auriferous formation.
Every facility exists for the transport and erection of mirhinery
the supply of water and fuel is abundant, and, above all, a ready
communication exists with the capital.
" The contract made by the promoters of this Company with the
proprietors embraces a consider able extent of land in difterent dis-
tricts, a portion being situated on the South Para River, within 25
miles of Adelaide, and a further portion on the Onkaparinga, within
20 miles, and adjoining the neivly-discovered gold-fields at Echunga.
The auriferous qualities of the above have been proved.
Ori the Wiltshire Survey, 40 miles from Adelaide, there is a large
tract which Is let to a Company of Germans, the right to the mine-
rals being reserved, and there is nearly a similar extent in the imme-
diate vicinity of Adelaide, which is likewise let with the same re-
serve.
Power will be taken in the statutes to increase the capital, with
,the consent of the Shareholders.
These various properties have been purchased for 17,00,
Shares Shae of
the present Company, and a royally of one-tenth for gold, ne-
fifteenth for other minerals.
The capital of the present Company w

be d
thaivided into 75,c0
Shares of £2 each, a portion of which, n one-third, will
be reserved for allotment in England.
The management of the affairs of the Company will be confided

de Surveillance.
