We have received a copy of the prospectus of the
Croiser Valley and Port Sladoc Freehold Slate
Company (Limited). The activity of the demand
for slate is well known, and the present project has
the advantage of considerable facilities as regards
transport, the quarry which the company proposes
to purchase being only six hales distant from a
shipping port, to which a railway is in course of
construction. The property being extensive, arrange-
ments have been made to lease a portion of it to
other parties. Of the proposed capital of 60,0001. in
6,000 shares of 101. each, with a first issue of 4,000
shares, it appears that three-fourths have already
been applied for privately. The purchase money is
15,6001., of which 10,0001. is to be in paid-up
shares ; but of these 8,0001. is not to be allotted
until the shareholders shall have received a divi-
dend of 13 per cent. The list will be closed on
Friday next.
The snood call of 21., making 81. paid, is to be
paid on the shares in the Cape Copper Mining
Company by the2nd of November.
With reference to Wheal Grylls the circular
issued last evening by Mr. Peter Watson has the
following :
