Mining in New Zealand - Achilles Gold-Fields, Limited: Thirty-Stamp Mill, freue vanners, and ore feeders, 1895. 'The property is situated on Skipper's Creek, Shotover River District, Lake County, Otago...The Mine has been worked and in operation for some time, but the above-named Company was only registered as recently as March 15, 1893. A considerable amount of development work has been done and ore extracted, which is reported to be sufficient to keep the 30-stamp mill, owned by the Company, fully supplied for at least three years. It is contemplated to increase the number of stamps, besides which additional water-power is being brought in, with a view to putting up more Pelton water-wheels. As soon as this is completed the output will be doubled, with the prospect that the dividend earning capacity will be increased. A considerable sum, amounting to over £50,000, has already been spent in developing the properties and on the machinery...investors have only to go to the New Zealand Colonial Office in Victoria Street, Westminster, to see that the property is a genuine Gold Mine, and has paid in the past...The views show the 30-stamp Mill, Hoist, Machinery, &c., employed for the working and development of the property'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
