A West Australia prospector
perpetrates the following 81
have a valuable mine for sale. l
know it is valuable, because l
found it myself, I pegged it out
in a binding willy willy, and it's
location is therefore northwest
by east-south-nor and by west.
To speak officially The datum
line runs from peg to a blue
spot in the universe, thence 10
chains 2 links and a tape meas
ure to a point beneath the star
Arcturus, thence at right angles
to the Milky way to the point of
commencement. [ have a shaft
sunk upon it to the depth of 81
feet q inches precisely. At fair
contract rates, this shaft alone is
worth the price of admission.
The formation is ignatius loren
sic and erroneous, and the lode
is friable, though I do not guar
antee it eatable after it is fried.
1t also contains oxide, greenhide
and plays hide and-seek. l have
had several assays made on the
ore, and the more l getit assay
ed the more l am convinced that
it is rightly named. The last
certificate runs as follows: Des-
cription of sample Old red
birthstone and saltosite, lbs. 4.
Assay Gold, nil; silver, worse;
copper, conspiciously absent;
tincture of road metal, 90; stove
polish, 5; bromide of butterine,
%; chloride of sawdust, %; total
loo. l also sent an expert out
to examine the property. He
was firstclass expert, and wore
IA prisnatic compasses, 2 sheath
knives, 48 pouches, (more or less)
and pair of aggressive looking
leggings. He also had a magni-
flying glass, guaranteed, not only
magnify things in existence, but
to make things visible which
have no existence at all. The
glass was slap up, o. V. G., gilt
edged and silver-plated bell
metal and no mistake. In burst
of confidence caused by an over
dose of Christmas choral, he
told me that he snapped paper
collar for it at Arthur Levers,
before that gentleman lost conf
dence in the human race, and re-
fused to take in boarders. Fol
lowing is a piece of his report
The formation consists of glu-
cose and schistose strata, dip
ping at an angle of 45 degrees
from the northwest corner of
Sommer's public house. 1t is
Illuminated, contaminated, wire
Gus, lamentable and vicious.
Large quantities of sulphides OF
hydrophobia, tlilobites and dog
bites are visible in the stone,
which is liable to cleavage, frac-
ture of the os fronts and cere-
bral MENINGITIS. There is a fine
oufcrop of first-class blue road
metal, highly suitable for cleo
pioneering purposes, and there
is new contact zone with ole
omargarine walls, denoting a
transverse lode of axlegrease.
A vein of rich water has been
struck in the mine and after cal
cination, condensation, confager-
alton, and Qualification, it should,
with a little whiskey added, be
very suitable for drinking pur-
poses. Throughout the lease
there are a number of dips, spurs,
angles, veins, lode formations,
variations, slides, sinuosities,
throws, breaks, faults, horses,
and large quantity of valuable
mullock of the first water. ]
recommend you to sink a spiral
shaft beneath the southeast ano
by north angle of the vertical
slide where the fudgite cross-cut
the rubbishite and intersects the
ashhe&p. After which, about
from 10 to 100 years judicious
expenditure OF other peoples
CT pit&l, should render the prop
el'ty payable. There is an abun-
dance of mental and physical ex-
ercise to be got out of this mine
for trifie, comparatively speak
ing. Sweat and capital will pro
duce wonders. I now offer this
promising property for sale OF
/ easy terms. Besides the above
{ shaft, have sunk all my relatives
J capital on the show. If the pur
} chasers take out only what
have put into it, great will be
dividends, !"
