The Sonth Afr'amn Irrigation and Investment Company Is rata- I
blisheit with a view to alit to the fitrtherance of those public 1.
undertakings in the South African Colonies, including the Cape
of Cool Hope, British If anemia, and Natal, by which their re-
sources may be more fully developed: the result being, in the
oltioliin of the Directors, c. rtaiu to prove most satisfactory to I
those who embark their mtpitaL
The Company's operations will embrace three main objects :
I't. 1 hat of a Land soli Irrigation Company ;
And. That of a Public Works ,more especially a Lighting, I
Paving, and Water Company; : and,
Srd. That of a Trust Loan tool Divestment Company.
It has seemed wise to the Directors to combine these objects in
one Company, sines, while all are entirely compatible, soul mut

The Mouth African Irrigation and Investment Company, while
meeting the wants most keenly felt at the present time by the
South African Colonies, cannot fail to realise to its shareholders
ample returns upon the capital.
As a Land and Irrigation Company it will enter upon a meat
;vomiting Meld of operation& Large tracts of fertile soil along
the rivers, and in the great Lome or plains of the country, ant
to be pun:hived at very low pneea *Welk by Irrigation Works,
Indaras, tanks, or waterleadings front rivers, may be converted,
by so great outlay. into properties many times their original
aline. The government returns fur 1000, of the value of landed
estates in these colonies, show that where by private enterprise
Irrigation works have been constructed on farms, the etduux-
meet of value has been from five to ten fold, and as such re-
sults have been achieved by private enterprise, yet more I,ft:-
factory remits may be looked for where labour is more organised,
is brought to bear.
The Cum stay will not only purchase lands with a view to re-
sale after the constructioo of Irrigation works, but will take con-
tracts for the construction of like emit. upon government and
private lands. It is known to be in coutemplation in next 'canon
of the colonial parld.racnt to introduce a bill to facilitate the con-
struction of a series of government tanks, and to secure on the
raintal employed in such works on government land, a govern-
ment guarantee of at least six per cent. per annum.
A, a Public Works Company for the towns of South Africa,
the pn epcet Is equally inviting. There ii scarcely a town of
magnitude which is not now prepared to offer most liberal and
remunerative terms to this Company, to become to it a consti-
tuted Water and Gas Comormy ; and Port Elizabeth Mow the
toniteereial capital of all South reatern Africa) caused a bill to
be introduced into last session of the eolonial parliament, charg-
ing the whole property of the town for $.80,000, to guarantee at
ksat £s.ond per snows on outlay fur works for water supply. Thu
Dircetot e feel that the present is a most favourable opportunity
for the istablishment of a Company for Public Storks, and they
ciattilmhy anticipate that they will be able to complete arranae-
rend 71 with the authorities at Port Elizabeth to become its Light-
inc. Panic, and Water Company, so an to ensures most favour-
able cortimenevment of bunions, and facilitate future operation&
It may ne mentioned that to towns where, by authority of local
multi:, ipalitirs, eater works Lave been constructed, they have
prowl sources ti very tame profits on the capital invested, and
ties only has Company lo operation in South Africa pays normal
dividends vaniug from 1.1 to la per emit.
