His Excellency Doctor Cuervo, the Minister of
Colombia in London, is well acquainted with Senor
Pantaleon Gonzalez, the principal Vendor, and has ex-
pressed his high opinion of his character, position, and
integrity; and he has also agreed to accept the position
of "honorary director" of the Company.
This Company has been formed and registered to
purchase and work, under grants from the Government.
DIX gold and silver mines, situate in the Department of
Tolima, Republic of Colombia, South America, with
their water, timber, and other rights, and a considerable
acreage of adjoining lands, and the mining plant erected
at some of the mines.

The purchase price of the mines has been fixed ac-
cording to the valuation and report of Mr. Ezekiel
Williamson, F.G.S., consulting engineer to neighbour-
ing mines, who has been professionally engaged for
eighteen years in the practical working of gold and
silver mines in the district and in other parts of South
America. Mr. Williamson's estimate of the value of
the mines was £93,500 in cash; but the Vendor is so
confident of the successful and profitable working of
the mines, that he has agreed to accept £72,500 of the
purchase-money in paid-up Deferred Ordinary Shares.
and, in certain events, will accept the balance of £21,000
in Preference Shares. _ _

—fio-riii=ifr:Williainsou has estimated that with the
expenditure of less than 0.0,000 for additional plant
and appliances, and £20,000 for stores and working
capital, the mines will yield a profit of 15 per cent, in
the first year, 20 per cent. in the second year, and up-
wards of 30 per cent. in the third and future years.
These mines can be worked bee from the excessive
cost usual in other mines arising from deep pumping
or depth of working.
The situation of all the mine; is favourable for the
delivery of machinery to the mines and the transit of
the ore to England.
The mines and properties will be transferred, without
any intermediate profits, direct from the vendors, who
will bear all agency, brokerage, printing, legal, and
C
other expenses in the establishment of the ompany up
to the date of allotment.

has agreed to act as resi-
dent engineer and manager of the mines for threeyears,
at a fixed salary of £3OO, and a sum per annum equal to
the annual dividends on £lO,OOO of Ordinary share
capital in the Company.
The official Government return of the gold and silver
exported from Colombia shows an annual average for
the twelve years ending 1881 of £639,000, and for the
year 1882 it had increased to £860,000; and although
the official returns have not been received, it is esti-
mated that the present export of gold and silver ex-
ceed one million sterling per annum.
Copies of the agreements, and of Mr. Williamson's
Report and of the memorandum and articles of asso-
ciation, may be seen at the offices of the Solicitors, and
prospectuses and forms of application can be. obtained
from Messrs. Chadwicks, Boardman & Co., 36, Cole-
man St., London, E.C., and 64, Cross St., Manchester.
