The growing importance of South Australia —its vast mineral
riches its agricultural and pastoral capabilit'es, and the recent dis-
covery of geld fields,—all these features combine to render his 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 Austra!ia ; to be
leased, or otherwise disposed of.
worked, let on royalty,
The promoters of the Company have made arrangements for the
purchase of some large and valuable tracts of mineral and other lands,
in some of which the existence of auriferous deposits has been satis-
factonly 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 ahoun d
and which were sant direct from the spot, will be reme bereda;
forming an attractive feature in the Great Exhibition last
year
It is import ant to remark, that, of the properties comprised in the
present arrangement, some are in the immediate vie'nity' and all are
within a moderate distance of the city of Adelaide, the capital of
South Australia.
So far back 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 meat cf his observations

Was so ta.vourable as to iadtice the proprietors to proceed with the

present moutes,t,..and- it now rs to be incontestably esta.distie
that there existikatt a Moderate-depth from the nurnce, 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—viz., the development of the true auriferous formation.
Every facility exists for the transport and erection of mazhinery ;
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 considerable extent of land in different 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 newly-discovered gold-fields at Echunga.
The auriferous qualities of the above have been proved.
On the Wiltshire Survey, 40 miles from Adelaide, there Is a large
tract which is let to a Company of lie-mans, 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 17,001 Shares of
the present Company, and a royalty of one-tenth for gold, and one-
fifteenth for other minerals.
The capital of the present Company will be divided into 75,000
Shares of 42 each, a portion of which, not less than one-third, will
be reserved for allotment in England.
The management of the affairs of the Company will be confided
to the Gerant, acting under the immediate supervision of the Conseil
