1 • ABSTRACT OF PROSPECTUS.
Although the extent ~e tectent gold discoveries
importance oft
t,
ea
in Caltfbrnia and Australia .cann. t- be' t.es , nor the various
projected cpterprises for their development be -undervalued, yet
Wbili i capitalists and others are seeking profitable returns from the
transmarine investments which now, aysorb so much of public
attention, the attainment of the same lucrative results from mining
•enterprise• within out own shores should not be overlooked; more
especially as the employment and enoouragen.ent which, in'the one
case. arc furnished to the alien, would, in tab•other, be tiyen to na-
tive industry.
• Encouragement to native mining industry has hitherto, except in
same isolated instances, been Confined to the staple mineral re-
sources of Great BrP ain, much as copper, lead, iron, and 'coal ;.but
therel's now an opportunlty of profitably applying it to the produc-
tion of the precious metals, especially go d, within a limited distance
of the metrop• lis, where it is found in as pare a State and in de-
POsits, apparently, as rich as in either of the two modern- Dorados.
When Sir Roderick Murchison first nought and r the notice of the
Royal Geographical Society the existence of geld deposits in Anat.,
trails, hewas seemly- heeded ; hnd, in deference to public impres-
sion, the greatest care has bees taken to verify
,the facts in the in-
stance of the present discoveries.
The Britannia Mine is the. property of Lord Poltimore, and is
situate about seven miles north of South Melton, towards Exmoor,
on the banks of the Mole. •• • _
The nature of the country is Killas, Which is so congenial to the
production of metal, and the immediate vicinity of the mine has been
more- affected by volcanic action than is usual in similar positions in
Devon and Cornwall. The locality indisputably possesses all the
geological conditions requisite for the existence of gold, the forma-
tion being strictly of the Palmozoic group, in which • alone, and.the
igneous rocks associated with them, is gold ever found insufficient
abundance to be reniunerative. •

The geld of this Company is produced from gozzan and quartz.
Several stones, out of a large quantity, equally rich, were promiscu-
ously taken, and the following ass vs give the results
Assay Office and Laboratory, 2a, H.awley-road, Kentish-Own,
London, Dec. 29, 1851.
_

This is to certify that I have examined a sampel, marked "No. 3
gold." I find it contains 2708 per cent. of gold, traces of silver,
oxide of iron, and earthy matters.
(Signed) ' JOHN 'MITCHELL.
116,' Leadenhall-street, March Bth, 1852.
I beg to certify that I purchased 152 ounces of. iron Matrix or
gozzan from, the mine at North Molten, now called the Britannia
(promiscuously taken froin a large quantity, which, according to my
judgment, must have been worth, at least, 4001.) ; and that the same
yielded in bulk about eighteen and a half per cent. of gold, 1 carat,
2 grains, above the standard, and for which • I paid at the rate •f
31. 17s. 9d. per ounce.
I have likewise no hesitation in stating my belief that, from per-
sonal inspection of the mine, there is a large .deposit of the precious
metal to be found there.
(Signed) BEN TA M Ilsi MASSEY.
Iu the future workings it isimpossible to say what quantity of the
precious metal may be found; but c*Ough haS been ascertained to in-
duce the most sanguine expectations hat • the result will be highly
productive awl profitable. The ore ofthe,St. John d'El Itey Mining
Company, which is 0.. e of the oldest Gold. Associations, and, which
has paid dividend for years, yields only about the five-hundredth part
of one per cent., that is, 4 oitavas, or less than halt an ounce of gold
to a ton of ore ; or say, 2001. for every 100 tons of ore. The yield of
,gold from the Ural moubtains,never excr:eied.l2o grains of gold from
0,i105., or 1% ten of earth, which is less than 4 dwts., er the fifth
of an ounce, per ton ; yet the Metallic wealth of Russia is .produced
from this small return, although when first discovered the mines were
considered scarcely wortit working. In fact, from the mere diffe-
rence in the system of reduction, and the economy in 'the-Modern
appliances generally, a return, which at a former period only en-
tailed a loss, will now, it is well kocrwn, yield a profit.
In addition.to these extraordittary rich stones, it is fotmd that the'
whole of the gozzan is impregnated with gold, about-300 tons of
which, hitherto regarded as mere rubble. are now on surface ready to
be crushed. These have been satisfactorily tested. Captain W. S.
meergem, on the 22d ult.. as, will be
.seen.hy the annexed report,
took specimens, indiscriminately, -ftbin the heaps, exposed for years
to 'weather andi pilferage,: which he has had asiayed, and the exls-'
tence of-the precious metal has been clearly -established. ~31-r.iongm-
aid, the Asmyist, and inventor and patentee of a peculiar chemical,
process for the separation of metals from their matrix, has likewise
assayed. some of these
,stones„, in which gold is not manifest to the
nake eye, and says—
This is to certify that I have examined the following samples,
and find their contents as under:—,No, 1,, smalls, gold 8 oz.
6 dwts. I 4 ere.. per ton, WILLIAM LO*QMAID.-
31, Beaumont-square, London, 3d Mo. 30, 1852.
The Copper, for which this mine was originally opened, being also
rich to an extraordinary degree, warrants the expectation that when
the workings, which are now so shallow, are carried to a greater
depth, the most profitable results will ensue. Mr. Mitchell at the
same period (19th of December last) likewise assayed the copper,
and says—
This is to certify that I have examined a sample, marked " No.
2, Copper Stone." I find that it contains 32 per cent. of copper,
traces of silver, iron, sulphur, and traces of earthy matter,
All the necessary machinery for mining purposes is already on the
property, to which the modern appliances for the reduction of gold
will of course be added. The alit is driven 81 fathoms, the engine-
shaft is down 10 fathoms below the edit ; the western shaft is sunk
9 fathoms ; the water-wheel is 25 feet diameter, with 34 feet breast,
and the counting-houses, smiths' and carpenters' shops, material
house, and all other buildings, are in good order. The water-power
is unbounded, and the lent home to wheel. A fall of 200 feet can be
obtained, so that there are inexpensive means available of sinking
the shaft to any depth.
Applications for shares to be made in the usual manner, or forms
may be had at the Offices, or at the Brokers', where detailed Pro-
spectuses, with sections, and every information, may be obtained.

The Cornwall Railway will complete the trunk line of communica-
tion between London, Bristol, Exeter, Plyinouth, Falmoqih, and Pen-
zance. The length of the line 'will be 63 milts, eitenahig from Ply-
mouth to Truro and Falmouth, joining the-South Devon -RailiA* at
Plymouth, and the West Cornwall Railway at Triiro. It reeelVed the
sanction of Parliament in 1846; the works were immediately com-
menced ; about seven Miles etthe line were in a very_forvrard state,
the land for which was purchased and paid.for, when, the Monetary
w
crisis of-1847 compelled the directors to suspend the orka; 'and put
an end to the contracts which had been entered into, '
The present altered Stafe of the money market, and, the greatly
reduced price at which railw,AY Works are'new" being exeCl49.d, have
justified the Directors in submitting to their Shareholdera• it Sohbme
for a large.redtiction in the capital of the Cornpant, and the, aban-
donment of branches not llkely. to yield an immediate veitirri. ;This
same having received the sanction of ,the Proprietory,. 'was ,Sub-
mitted to the Board of Trade,. who, by their 'warrant, datnd !, the
26th of March; 1852 haVe"re4uced the share capitalfrom 1,600,0001.
to 1,125,0601. This capital has =by the warranf'beeri divided:into
56,253 shares of 201. each- ; -assigning to each holderof ail oti6ival
share of 5r 1. two shares 0f.20/. each ; and of an original share oft2s/.,
ono share of 201.; thereby, reducing the, liability of the shareholders
20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been, paid up the

The importance of the line as the last connecting link,between the
metropolis and, the extreme_ western ports' of Falmouth and Pen-
zance will be apparent. • ' -

The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the
large amount of local trafilc attracts the attention of ail persons
visiting the county. -
The construction of the, line involves no engineering difileultieS, or
extraordinary works,:and the directors have offers from responsible
contractors to take and complete the winale of the works at the price
stated in their engineers' estimates.
From the experi-nee obtained in the construction ' Weal
Cornwall Railway, the Directors have every reason to believe, the
line will be completed considerably within these estimates.
The traffic estimated at different period% and compared with that
now realised ourtiffaStaith Doren line, at the eastern extremity, and
toe West Cornwall at the western, warrants' the Direetors iii Stating!!
their firm belief that a revenue will be realised, which will yield a
high per centage on the capital to be expended. „
The landowners are very favourably disposed, and will part with the
land which may be reqtdred for the line on very advantageous terms.
Several large • landoamers have already 'consented to talte up the
value of their land in shares. • , •

Alessrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—Arrivals
have been moderates during the week, but the trade ruled ex-
ceedingly dull, and but little business resulted. The weather
has been variable, ,wind more westerly, and more sun, but
nights cold, and atrifing shower or two is all the rain that
has fallen.: !-We havegrong complaints as to the pastures and
siring corn, but whe,at looks well. We had to-day a moderate
supply ofwheat (loin our own farmers, with a small show of
foreign; English wheat was slow, sale at the current rates of
last market day, millers not being generally able to make any
impression upon farmers, who are now of a class that can afford
to hold, and seem Inclined_ to do so. Only a retail sale for
chambered foreign;without any quotable alteration in value.
Very little barley on the market, and no change in price ; and
the same remark applies to oats of all kinds. Beans, of which
our main supply is a fine quality of Egyptian, are held for more
money, which makes. the sale.- rather slow. Not much of the
import of linseed Comes on the market, and the business doing
is consequently limited. The long-continued drought, coupled
with the shot make,. enables:. our Huli,crushers to maintain
their prigeefor cake ;`,bat foreign are in better supply, and may
be bought on easier terms— o rapered on. -sale, and cakes
unaltered. Bones support our quotations. • . •
