PROSPECTUS.
This Compan y is formed for leasing or purchasing Coal-
fields in the South Wales Basin, and working the collieries
for export and b ome consumption.
The great anal increasing demand for South Wales coal
both at home ,and abroad, for steam and other purposes,
presents a most favourable opportunity for commencing and
prosecuting a large and profitable business.
The Board of 'Trade Report stows that the exports from
South Wales iir 1862 amounted to *Z,378,971 tons. The
returns for 1863 when published will show a great increase.
Nearly a fourth part of the total exports of the United
Kingdom is from the ports of South Wales. The quantity
thin, exported is equal to that from Newcastle and Sunder•
land respectively.
The coal now being supplied to the ports of Cardiff and.
Newport is utterly inadequate in quantity to meet the pre-
sent demand, which is progressively increasing, and it has
become a matter of serious consideration how the future
demand is to be met, seeing that the commercial marine of
the world is rapidly changing from sailing to steam vessels,
whilst the working of foreign rialways, which has only
lately commenced, will necessitate exports on a vast scale.
The great value of the South Wales coal for steam and
all other purposes is too well known to need explanation
here, and great success is attending all well-regulated and
careful workings. The present extraordinary demand has
raised the average price from Bs. to lls, or 12s. per ton, the
present official prices.
The Company has secured, cn advantageous terms, a lease
for 50 years a,' extensive seams of coal in the barony of
Abergavenny, identical with and forming portion of those
now worked with great success by the Blaenavon Company
and other coal Dwners.
The average working thickness of these seams is 30 feet.
On this prop erty, which is in communication with all the
railways in the district, the Company proposes to commence
operations.
From the actual experience of adjacent collieries workinc,
the same seams„ it has been proved that the coal can be
raised and delivered in trucks on the railway, including
royalty, at a cost of ds. per ton.
the carriage to Newport is is. 95, per ton.
It is estimated that, when in full work, at least 300,000
tons per annum will be raised on this property alone, for
which a sale will be readily found ; and this, assuming the
profit to be only Is. per ton upon the capital to be em-
ployed on this first operation (which will not exceed
£75,000), would yield a profit of 20 per cent.
There being no reservation of any kind for promoters or
premiums for leases payable, the shareholders will obtain
the entire benefit of the employment of the capital raised,
preliminary expenses being confined to the necessary dis-
bursements.,
Applicati ons for shares in the annexed form may be
made to the brokers or bankers of the Company, or to the
.Secretary in ,London ; or to Messrs. Crawshay Bailey and
Co., the Company's bankers at Newport, from any of whom
pt ospectuses can be obtained.
Where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned
in lull, and, :should the number of shares allotted be less
than that applied fur, the payment in excess will be applied
towards the deposit.
Copies of the articles of association may be seen at the
ol2ces of the Company.
