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

J

I arrived in Sydney on Saturday, the 13th July last, where I met by appolarment Mr. CHARLES WILMOTT, & mining expert from Victoria. Mr. WILLMOTT has been personally known to me since 1854 : I have absolute confidence la bis fategrity, skill, and judgment. We left Sydney together on Tuesday, the 16th July, and arrived at Mount McDonald on the day following, sad camminced our inspectim the same afternoon. The Freehold consists of 100 acres of auriferous land in the form of a direct square, each side of which measures 2,087 ft. 6 in., or, 695 yards, a 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, scross-s creek or water course to the opposite range of hills, on the Northern slope of which the greater part of its area Ues. The water course which runs through the Freehold divides two ranges of auriferous hills, and finally empiles 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 Carcoar 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 is site was selected with excellent judgment as quartz can be carted to it or trellied to it not only from all parts of the Freehold itself but from all the workings in the neighbourhood at lule cost. The Machius hause, moreover, being close to its water supply, tovolven no waste of power la feeding the boilers. The Water Supply consists of a reservoir formed by adam across the creek, and is led by a watershed of considerable extent embraced 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 season, from which I laferred that the rainfall is supplemented by subsoll 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-class engine sad two good boilers. There are 4 balterles of 5 head of stamps capable of crushing about 20 tons a day in all, as well as 3 pans; shaklug tables, and all necessary machinery for extracting from the ore the greater! amount of gold it will pay to take ont. The inspection of the rest of the Freehold was greaily facilitated by the whole of the scrab having been cut down before we arrived, so the estate

was laid bare and could be viewed from a convenient spot on the bill from end to end.

The REGISTER of SHARES of the Company

A party of Tributors, at work on the Freehold not far from the battery, was raising ore which yielded over 2 021. to the ton at each crushing, The men informed me that they discovered the reel on the surface in walking over the bill after rain, by observing gold in quarts at the bottom of a cart rut which had been washed clean by the water flowing through it, The old workings are of the most primitive description, having evidently been made by alluvial miners unaccustomed to quartz. The reefs were 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 geld were all found near the surface. Taat much of the quartz must have been very rich is certain, for it is unid about 100 czs. of gold a month were obtained by the owners of the battery at the time from rerrushing and washing the tailings. One working set far from the battery yielded to oz, of gold to the tan, and £700 worth of gold was taken out of a hole a few feet deep just below the dam. It is en by examining the old workings which still exist that they were mined by men unaccustomed cope with quartz mialing difficulties.l be CLOSED from WEDNESDAY the 15th The work is of the crudest description and it is evident that as soon as water was reached in sufficient quantity to require machinery, or to THURSDAY the 23rd January, 1896, (both b-cause the earth began to fall in or became dangerous through 'belog uniimbered, the mines were abandoned. This part of the district was, days luclusive), during which period no Transfer mcreover, at the time infested by bands of desperate bushrangers who rendered realdenen there very undesirable. It was a long ilme before the of Shares can be registered

By Order of the Board of Directors, Government was able to hunt them down, owing to the nature of the country.

A. SHELTON HOOPER,

Secretary. Hongkong, gih January, 1896.

Undoubtedly large deposits of gold, and probably exceptionally rich deposits, will be found when there reefs, which proved so good on the surface, are worked to a depth by quartz mining experts under honest and experienced management, 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 theac shafts will require pumping gear,

As far as I know, it has never been heard of that quartz reels rich in gold near the surface failed to yield good results at a greater depth. Such reefs have been profitably worked on Bendigo and other places to a depth of clase de 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 results will be obtained from the working of Olivers Freehold Mises then are obtained by og out of 100 of the Gold Compaules flated in London and elsewhere, Eureka Mine lies on the Eastern boundary of Oliveri Freehold and consists of severni Gold Mining Lasses lying between the Queen Mine on the North and the Great Eastern Mine on the South. It will be seen by ref:rence to the map that to the South of the Great Eastern Mine thres lots lying on elther 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 shalt of the Eureka has been punk 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 min that the Company's operations will commence by deepening the new shaft by about 130 feet. This shaft has been properly limbered as far ail goes and is surmounted by poppet heads in the vicinity of which is a machine house with necessary winding and pumping gear for fr eing the mine from water. All were in good order and fit to commence work when inspec'ed,

The further sinking of the shaft is not through difficult ground and the cost of labour and properly Umbaring will be only about Es per foot. When deepened, suficient tuonets will be driven to the North and Soath and the reef wil be worked upward", which is the most economical plan, The amount of water to be dealt with of course increases the cost of raining and renders it impossible for ordinary working miners to develop such

properties on their own account, but it is not disadvantageous for those baving means la à country subject to drought.

12

One of the drawbacks to the development of mlalog to the district has been that there was no proper accommodation for miners of the better class with their wives and familles, and it is propored 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 Eureka new shaft and driving tunnels through the real. It is confidently anticipated that this mine being taken over to a working condition will pay expenses from an early date and within a short time win good results. A map of the mince' is allacked and also á map of New South Wales showing Railways and the direction of the Reefs running through the property with the position marked of some of the principal mines fi-
