for Sale.

JAMES BA.KKR has received instructions

from the lessees to sell by private sale,

A. five years' Lease of about 72 acres of Auriferous Land, known as

John's Paddock, Caragham

The lease wQl be sold in one or more lots,

as may be agreed upon.

The above Is a truly valuable opportunity

for investment, inasmuch as the celebrated i "RRBSTOM'S LEAD" and the "Doctor's Lead," are running towards the paddock. The former has been traced by the Thistle Company very near the . oondary; whilst the conformation of the adjoining and surround ing lands rendere almost certain that these two leads will pass direct through the paddock, and will in all probability form a junction therein; and the shallow portion of the paddock has been proved to contain surfacing which will pay admirably to work.
