The lease was pegged by Lowe (surname) and 'two mates', who in 1896 was also the Kanowna mayor. It was pegged immediately after the original Paris Gift discovery. 400 feet of sinking and driving had occurred on the lease. The reef was 6 feet wide at the 50 foot depth level from the surface. The lease bordered the Paris Gift mine at its northern end. .
