New Plymouth, 17th August, 1857.
THE Provincial Government of New Plymouth hereby offers a reward of one hundred pounds (£100) to the person who shall first disclose to it exclusively the situation of a valuable and available Gold Field within the Province.
The value shall be estimated from the number of persons (say 300) who can obtain a return for their labor averaging not less than ten shillings per day each, and from the length of time they can find employment there.
The availableness shall be established by the Gold Field being within the purchased districts of the Crown.
In case of the foregoing conditions being fulfilled, the reward will be paid in twelve months from this date, or within six months from the date of the first license that may be granted for the search for gold.
The Provincial Government will submit all claims for the reward to the final decision of a Committee of four persons, two to be appointed by the claimant, and two by the Provincial Government, and the same course will be taken for the settlement of any dispute or difference which may arise in the construction of the terms of this Notice.
