This Company la established for the purpose of extending to
British Columbia and Vancouver Island principles of business
that have long since been adopted In other colonies with very
benelleial results both to the English capitalist and the local
p%erty•hoider.
Company will raise moneys on debentures on Its own
credit, on terms prevalent In this miwket, and will apply this
moneys so obtained to mortgage of real estate or other securi-
ties of a sabstantial and productive character in the two colo-
nies. at the much higher rates proeurible there. When it is
mentioned that In British Columbia and Vancouver Island from
to WI per oral. Per annum Is re carded as a favourable rate of
Interest at which to borrow money on pro- ceptionable securi-
ties, it will at once be seen bow cousiderabie t the margin of
profit that will ~Is. to the Company under this hewl.
The acquirement of property by purchase to a limited extent,
whether from the Government direct or from private owners.
will also, In cases presenting the prospect et advantageous and
early resale, have attention from the Cowpony. It b considered
thae the government of the two colonies may be Induced, la
consideration of the encouragement which the Company will
hare the opportunity of offering to immigration, to accord
grants ofnt. land, to the Company under regulated conditions of
settleme

The Company will also set u agents la all matten of invest-
ment and Unarms,' between the home capitalist and the colonial
property holder.
The company's business in the colonies will be conducted by
specially selected masons. Thesceorities selected will be sub-
jected tothe:trtetest examtnatiou, both u to title and value.

The debenture holder. under this course of Mahone will not
only hare the security of the subscribed capital, but also the
entire assets of the Company.
Tho prospects of the shareholders are hest exemplified by the
large returns on capital obtained by the sharehoalers of :by
inatitutt as.
_ _

The Company has taken powers which will entitle it to effect
an union with any other Company Using kindred objects In any
of the ltritiah North American Colonies.

-----
The board of the Company consists of gentlemen who hays
either applied the mule principles of Dwane.. to other colonies.
or who, from their couucsion with the Korth American posses-
sions srlU be resardel as authorities epos the subject of colonial
securities.

fiVi:s for investment Pritish Colombia and Vancouver
Island may be said to be unsurpassed In advaus ; the ri-e and
progress of these colonies have been moat rapid : the imperts
Into the Port of Victoria ',Vancouver island) alone, during the
ars months endrug June, lihn, were 1.8156.6.43 dollars, being an
excess over rinse of the first hilt of the previous year of ups arils
of ItiO,OUJ dollars. The value of property In Vancouver Island
