History

MINING INTELLIGENCE - :The Corinella Company, as we some time since reported to be probable, has issued its prospectus for the reorganisation of the company. The capital of the new company is to be £7200, in 48 shares of £150 each. Our advertising columns contain further particulars.[1]


The Corinella Gold Mining Company, Deep Creek, washed up to-day. The yield for the past fortnight's work was 247 ounces of splendid nuggetty gold. The prospects of this company and of those adjacent to it are now considered excellent, after having worked for a long time without obtaining gold. [2]


An 1866 share scrip for the Corinella Gold Mining Company showed a capital of 15,000 pounds in 600 shares of 25 pounds each.[3]
