A vestralia Prospectus.

A correspondent of the Pioneer,
West Australia, perpetrates the follow
ing:
"SIR-I have valuable mine for
sale. know it is valuable, because
| found it myself, l pegged it out in a
binding willy willy, and its location is
therefore northwest by east-south-nor
and by west. To speak officially; The
datum line runs from a peg to blue
spot in the universe, thence 10 chains
links and tape measure to a point
beneath the star Arcturus, thence at
right angles to the Milky way to the
point of commencement [ have
shaft sunk upon it to the depth of Ct
feet ~ inches precisely. At fair con-
tract rates, this shaft alone is worth
the price of admission The formation
is ignatius forensic and erroneous, and
the lode is friable, though 1 do not
guarantee it eatable after it is fried. 1t
also contains oxide, greenhide and
plays hipe-and- l have had sew
eral assays made of the ore, and the
more | get it assayed the more | am
convinced that it is rightly named The
last certificate runs as follows Des-
cription of sample: Old red birthstone
and saltosite, lbs f. Assay Gold, nil;
silver, worse; copper, conspiciously alb
sent; tincture of road metal, 80; stove
polish, 5: bromide of butterine, 215;
chloride of sawdust, %; total 100. I
also sent an expert out to examine the
property. He was first-class expert
and wore IA prismatic compasses. 2
sheath knives, 48 pouches, more or
less) and pair of aggressive looking
leggings. He also had magnifying
glass, guaranteed, not only to 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 overdose of Christmas
choral, he told me that he snapped
paper collar for it at Arthur Levers, |
before that gentleman lost confidence |
in the human race, and refused to take
in boarders. Following is a piece of
his report: The formation consists of |
a glucose and schistose strata, dipping |
at an angle of 45 degrees from the north |
west corner of Sommer's public house

titles of sulphides of hydrophobia, tril-
obites and dogbites are visible in the
stone, which is liable to cleavage, frac-
ture of the os fronts and cerebral men
ingetis. There is fine outcrop of first
class blue road metal, highly suitable
for electioneering purposes, and there
is a new contact zone with oleomarga-
rine walls, denoting a transverse lode
Of axlegrease. A vein of rich water has
been struck in the mine and after cal
condensation, confageration,
and Qualification, it should, with a little
whiskey added, be very suitable for
purposes. Throughout the
ease there are a number of dips, spurs,
angles, veins, lode formations, varia- !,
ions, slides, sinuosities, throws, breaks, !
faults, horses, and large quantity of
valuable mullock of the first water I /,
recommend you to sink a spiral shaft :
beneath the southeast and by north l
angle of the vertical slide where the
,udgite cross-cuts the rubbishite and
the ashheap. After which, y
bout from 10 to 100 years judicious =
of other peoples capital, y
hould render the property payable. :
There is an abundance of mental and .
physical exercise to be got out of this = =

for sale on easy terms. Be D
ides the above shaft, 1 have sunk all =,

he purchasers take out only what L .,
ave put into it, great will be the divi- =,
