This Company has been formed to take over all that valuable mining property known as the "Golden Fleece" P.C., Queensland.

This property, as will be seen from the enclosed reports of David M'Spuggle, Esq., M.C.F.S., Brisbane, and Thomas Ap Jenkins Esq, A.R.T.S., Eng., is one of the most attractive mining investments which has been offered to the public from Queensland. The recent im provements which have been effected in the methods of treatment of gold-bearing stone make it certain that the returns from this property, if developed in a systematic manner, will be enormous. It is the intention of the directors to at once call for tenders for a chlorination plant.

The position of the claim is everything that can be desired. Wood and water are abundant and labour can be had at reasonable prices.

The following is an estimate of the working expenses and probable returns per month of four Expenditure.

Need I tell you what was the result of all this ? Applications poured inright and left in Melbourne and Sydney and in Brisbane. No heavy applica- tions were made, but still over 100,000 shares were applied for by small shop-keepers, clerke and tradesmen, with a fair sprinkling of the jobbers who began to see that whatever might be made out of the mine there was a chance to turn an honest penny with the scrip.

Was

On the allotment day, when it was found that only 20 per cent of the shares applied for were to be allotted, those who were lucky enough to get them were offered is. on their bargain. On the next day zs. 6d. was freely offered. On the following day the telegram about the "coarse, shotty gold" appeared in the papers and scrip jumped to 75. 3d., 75. 6d. Two days later, when the private telegram was received, tos. 6d freely offered. Paid-upa" were inquired for at 21s, and on that day I really thought that as I had done so well out of the mine I ought to let some other body get a chance, so I commenced to unload and in three days had disposed of 8000 scrip at from 20%. to 219. 6d. The last parcel I sold at 19s, as it appeared to some of the public that there was "a good deal of paid ups coming in and prices weakened a little for them. For the next fortnight scrip was changing hands at 105, 7., 105, 78 6d,, and 195, 205, 188, and 178. 6d., as stories of good and evil import went about, but after that time the weakness became chronic and buyers could not be got. Then came a tumble. In the Exchange scoffers were heard to name "a hob " as their bighest bid.

Then a number of ardent speculators started up to the Golden Fletce to see for themselves, and strange to say while they are reported to have said among themselves when up there that it was a devoured windle they reported on return that although not altogether a Mount Morgan it was a very good thing and prices rose again a little. Might hint that they sold their scrip whenever that rise took place.

I still hold 1,000 stares in the Golden Fleece and had always attended the meetings till it went into liquidation a year ago. There were wanted to know, you know," But just when many stormy meetings and many shareholders the thing began to get very shaky Croydon broke out, and I suppose so many did well there that they retain only a deadened feeling of indigna- tion,
