We have received a copy of the prospectus of the
Leawood Cannel and Gas Coal Company (Limited).
It is promoted by a number of persons of substance,
several of whom are practically connected with the
oolliery interest. The object is to purchase and
work some well-known collieries near Mold, where a
very remarkable discovery of cannel coal has lately
been made. This coal, which is • peculiar and rare
formation, is now being worked at a depth of only 50
yards from surface, and is above four feet thick.
Upwardsci 2,500 tons per month of very superior
produce are already being rained and sold at prices
which show a considerable profit. It is
further mentioned that the propel to
be worked comprise upwards of 250 acres,
and are held for long terms of years at
low royalties. The existing contracts for the supply
of the cannel coal can be largely extended as soon
as the introduction of fresh capital shall have
increased the yield. The capital is 100,0001., in
shares of 21. each. The purchase money (which
will include a branch line of railway connecting
the collieries with the London and North Western
and Great Western Railway systems) is 70,0001., of
which 40,0001. is in paid-up shares, ranking, as
regards dividends, with the ordinary shares.
directors of the Fortuna Mining Company
(Limited) have decided upon declaring a dividend
of 2e. 6d. per share, payable on the 7th of June.
