PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for leasing or purchasing Coal-
fields in the South Wales Basin, and working the collieries
for export and have consumption.
The great and increasing demand for South Wales coal
both at home ancl. abroad, for steam and other purposes,
preeients a most favourable opportunity for commencing and
prosecuting a large and profitable business.
The Board of Tr. tide Report stows that the exports from
South Wales in 1062 amounted to b,378,971 tons. The
returns for 1863 when published will show a great increase.
Nearly a fourth par t of the total exports of the United
Kingdom is from the ports of South Wales. The quantity
thus exported is equatl to that from Newcastle and Sunder•
land respectively.
Thu 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, on advantageous terms, a lease
for 50 years of 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 coalowners.
The average working thickness of these seams is 30 feet.
On this property, which is in communication with all the
railways in the district, the Company proposes to commence
operations.
From the actual'experience of adjacent collieries working
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 ss. per ton.
The carriage to Newport is ls. 9d. 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
whiela a• sale will be readily found ; and this, assuming the
profit to be only ls. 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
• 're benefit of the employment of the capital raised,
• .. 'nary expenses being confined to the necessary ells-
' rseme.nts.
Applicalions for shares in the annexed form may be
Linde to the brokers or bankers of the Company, or to the
Secretary in London ; or to Messrs. Crawahay Bailey and
Co., the Company's bankers at Newport, from any of whom
prospectuses can be obtained.
Where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned
7-4 in full, and, should the number of shares allotted be less
tr.. than that applied fur, the payment in excess will be applied
towards the deposit.
Nb Copies of the articles of association may be seen at the
taces of the Company.
