The following is the Report on the property made by Mr. J, D. Hum-

PHREYS:-

I arrived in Sydney on Saturday, the 13th July last, where I met by ap

pointment Mr. CHARLES WILLMOTT, a mining expert from Victoria, Mir WILLMOTT has been personally known to me since 1854; I have abso- lute confidence in his integrity, skill and judgment. We left Sydney together on Tuesday, the 16th July, and arrived at Mount McDonald on the day following, and commenced our inspection the same after-

Boon.

The Freehold consists of 100 acres of nuriferous land in the form of a direct square, each side of which measures 2087' 6", or 695 yards, 2 feet 6 inches.

The position is to the West of the Eureka Gold Mine, and extends at right angles from its own Eastern Boundary in a Westerly direction, across a crack or water yourse to the opposite range of hills, on the Northera slope of which the greater part of its srea lies. The water course which rans through the Freehold divides two ranges of apriferous hills, and finally empties itself into the River Lachlan, about three miles to the South of the dam of the reservoir which supplies the battery belonging to the property, situated at Mount, McDonald in the district. of Carecar in the province of Bathurst, New South Wales. The battery itself is to the West of the reservoir, and consequently on the Western side of the creek near the Southern boundary of the property, and its site was selected with excellent judgment, as quartz can be carted to it or trollied to it not only from all parts of the Frochold itself but from all the workings in the neighbourhood at little cost. The Machine house, moreover, being close to its water supply, involves

a waste of power in feeding the boilers.

The Water supply consists of a reservoir formed by a dam across the creek, and is fed by a waterslied of considerable extent eutbraced by the surrounding hills, and I was informed by men who had been working on the ground for years that the supply never failed in the driest scu- son, from which I inferred that the rainfall is supplemented by subscil drainage and springs. For fuel there is abundance of good timber in the vicinity. The Machinery we found to be of the best description and comprises a first clase engine and two good boilers. There are 4 batteries of 5 head of stamps, capable of crushing about 20 toos a day in all, as well as 3 pans, shaking tables, and all necessary ranchinery for extracting from the ore the greatest amount of gold it will pay to take out. The inspection of the rest of the Freehold was greatly facilitated by the whole of the scrub having been cut down before we arrived, so the estate was laid bare and could be viewed from a convenient spot on the

hill from end to end.

A party of Tributors, at work on the Freehold not far from the battery, was raising ore which yielded over 2 oza, to the ton at each crushing. The men informed me that they discovered the reef on the surface in walk.

It is seen by examining the old workings which still exist that they were mined by men unaccustomed to cope with quartz mining die lies

water was reached in sufficient quantity to require machinery, or because the earth began to fall in or become dangerous through being Straits untimbered, the mines were abandoned. This, part of the district was, moreover, at the time infested by desperate binds of bushrangers who rendered residence there very undesirable. It was a long time before the Government was able to hunt them down, owing to the nature of the country. Undoubtedly largo deposits of gold, and probably exceptionally rich deposits, will be found when these reefs, which proved so good on the surface,

are worked to a depth by partz mining experts under honest and fo-day's Advertisements. experienced managemont, backed by sufficient capital The ground

is already prospected; it is well known where the gold has been got near the surface, and it is only necessary to sink properly timbered shafts and get below these old workings and work up. Some of these shafts will require pumping gear.

Such

As far as I know, it has never been beard of that quartz reefs rich in gold

near the surface failed to yield good results at a greater depth. reefs have been profitably worked on Bendigo and other places to a depth of close on 3,000 feet, and are still at work after 40 years Given sufficient capital economically administered or expended, as it would be in any other business expected to pay, I am of opinion that better resulta will be obtained from the working of Oliver's Freehold Mines than are obtained by 99 out of 100 of the Gold Companies floated in London and elsewhere.

The Eureka Mine lies on the Eastern boundary of Olivor's Freehold and consists of several Gold Mining Leases lying between the Queen Mine on the North and the Great Eastern Mine on the South. It will be seen by reference to the map that to the South of the Great Eastern Mine three lots lying on either side of the creek which runs through the Freehold and discharges itself into the Lachlan River have been secured thus giving to the Company a magnificent water supply. The new shaft of the Eureka has been sunk to a depth of 85 feet. The old workings before the miners were flooded out yielded to a depth of 140 feet not less than 1 oz. of Gold per ton with occasional better results. This is recorded in the Government Reports.

It is in this nine that the Company's operations will commence by deopen- ing the new shaft by about 120 feet. This shaft has been proporly timbered as far as it goes and is surmounted by poppet heads in the vicinity of which is a machine house with necessary winding and pumping gear for freeing the mine from water. All were in good order and fit to commence work when inspected.

The amount of water to be dealt with of course increases the rest of mining and renders it impossible for ordinary working miners to develop such properties on their own account but it is not disadvantageous for those having means in a country subject to drought.

One of the drawbacks to the development of mining in the district has been that thers was no proper accommodation for miners of the better class with their wives and families and it is proposed to build a few comfortable cottages to induce this class of men to settle on the property.

The operations of the Company will at first be limited to deepening the It is confidently anticipated that this mine being taken over in a working condition will pay expenses from an early date and within a short time win good results. A map and the direction of the Beefs running through the property with the position of the mines is attached and also a map of New South Wales showing Railways marked of some of the principal mines,"

The old workings are of the most primitive description having evidently

been made by alluvial miners unaccustomed to quartz. The reefs were i worked from the surface down without timbering, until it became dangerous to go deeper. None of these workings were any depth, and the numerous heavy finds of gold were all found near the surface.
