The primary object of this Company 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, one of
the most valuable and thickly-settled districts of the wuole
State of California.

The reports of the 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
bad at the Offices of the Company.
It may be sufficient here to state that the lowest dividend
estimated by rthese gentlemen, after making liberal allowance
for contingencies, exceeds ISO per cent. per annum on the en-
tire Capital.
An agent, however, selected by the Hoard, will be immediately
sent out at the expense of the projectors, with instructions to
place himself hi communication with an intinential mercantile
Sent at San Francisco, and In conjunction with them strictly

If the result of such investigation shall not be entirely satis-
factory to the Directors, the whole amount of the subscriptions
will be returned to the subscribers without deductions.

The Californian l'rojeetors are to be paid for thAt rights and
interests in shares Class 11, which shares are not to be entitled
to dividend for three years unless 20 per cent per annum
shall have been paid to the Shareholders, Class A.
Applications for shares in the usual form must bs accompanied
by the bankers' receipt for a sum equal to 11. for every share
applied for. 21. additional to be paid on the shares allotted when
the agent is appointed to proceed to California (of which duo
notice will be given), and the remaining 21. per share ou the re.
o eipt of his report of the completion of the purchase.
