This Company is formed under the Joint-stock Limited Lia bility Act of last session, for the purpose of supplying the county of Nevada and other districts in California with Water, and especially for establishing and carrying to complet!on Works situated in the county of Nevada, in the State of California, which have been in progress for more than two years ; and also for ne :misting for the purchase of other Works already in pro fitable operation. *1 he whole of these Works command a district of thirty-five miles in length and upwards of six hundred squats miles in area, known to be auriferous throughout, and for the develop ment of which there is no other possible means of supply but that which will be possessed by this Company. The primary object of these Works is to give a steady and continuous supply of Water throughout the year, for which there is an UNLIMITED DEMAND, to the miners engaged in this, cue of the most valuable and thickly-setUed districts of the whole State of California. It is well understood that the sole drawback to the still greater productiveness of this highly auriferous region is the want of a sufficient and continuous water supply for mining operations during a considerable part of the year, known as the dry season. The reports of tile two English gentlemen who were deputed at different periods to investigate the merits of the enterprise, together with a map of the district and detailed information by which an estimate can be formed of the extraordinary prospects of this undertaking, are published in a pamphlet, and may be had at the Offices of the Company. It may be sufficient here to state that the lowest dividend estimated by these gentlemen, after making liberal allowance for contingencies, exceeds 501. per cent. per annum on the en tire Capital. An agent, selected by the Board, will be immediately sent out at the expense of the projectors, with instructions to place him self in communication with au intluential mercantile firm at San Francisco, and in conjunction with them strictly to inves tigate all matters connected with the undertaking. If the result of such investigation prove satisfactory, the agent will be empowered to complete the arrangements for carrying out the objects of the Company forthwith. Should the Directors, however, be induced by the report of their agent to decline the purchase of the rights and works above alluded to, the whole amount of the rubscriptious will be returned to the shareholders without deduction. To prove their confidence in the profitable character of this undertaking, the Californian Proprietors have consented to receive payineut for all their rigli,.a, interests, and outlay iu shares of the Company, Class B, and have agreed that such shares shall not for the period of three years from the comple tion of the purchase be entitled to titvidenu unless in the mean time a dividend at. the rate of z 0 per cent. per annum has been paid to the Shareholders, Class A. Twenty-nine thousand A shares only are now open to public subscription, representing 1i Applications for shares must 1)1 accompanied by the bankers' receipt for a sum equal to 11. for every share applied for. This alumnt will be applied towards the payment of the first deposit on the number of shares allotted, and the surplus (if any) will be hamediately returned to the applicant.
