SECRETARY.
George Maconochie, Esq.
This Company is formed for the purpose of Opening a New Route
of Communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, across
the Isthmus of Central America, and developing the agricultural and
Mineral wealth of its Territory.
On the shores of Costa Rica, lying between lat. 8 deg. to 11 deg.
X., within a voyage of twenty days only from England, are two of
the finest Harbours in the the world—Boca del Toro on the Atlantic,
and (lelfo Dulce on the Pacific side.
A line drawn between these two Harbours, measures a distance of
Enventy miles only ; and presents one of the most eligible Routes
that could be chosen for opening a safe, speedy, and economical
Communication between the two Oceans ; a mule track already
existing from Sea to Sea.
„. The Government of Costa Rica have granted a Tract of Land, a
league in breadth, across the whole Isthmus, for forming such Route ;
• soil, in addition to this, a magnificent territory of rich and fertile
'NI, exceeding a mil ion of acres, to be held in perpe,uity. And the
Concessionaries are in undistUrbed possession of tneir Estate, with a
Settlement already estab fished there.
The State of Costa Rica contains immense mineral treasures, in
gold, Oliver, copper, lead, iron, nickel, zinc, antimony, and coal, re-
9uiring only the application of capital, skill, and labour, to develop
then to an indefinite extent. It also yields abundantly almost every
description of tropical produce, more especially coffee, cocoa, sugar,
tobacco, indigo, rice, cochineal, silk, drugs, gums, balsams, and dye-
Woods in great variety; and its mountains are covered with large.
and valuable timber, as mahogany, cedar, satin, and other fine
cabinet woods.
Above all, its soil and climate are so admirably suited to the pro-
duction or the best qualities of cotton, on the sea islands and coast,
that instead of seeking new su,plies of this most important article
lot British manufactures from the distant shores of India or Brazil,
~anY quantity required can. be more speedily produced arid im-
r_ rted from the nearer territory of Costa Rica, where excellent cot-
es already grown.
The climate is healthy, the temperature moderate, and all the ne-
eessaries of life procurable at less than half their cost in Europe; and,
according to the testimony of those who nave resided in the country,
no part of the globe possesses grater advantages for Emigrants
than Costa Rica.
,_The Government Is firmly established—the country tranquil—the
.17habitante friendly; and full nrotection of person, property, and re-
p, is guaranteed to all Settlers or Colonists, by a Treaty of
I.e,ace and Amity between the Government cf Costa Rica and Great
.fntail'', signed on the 27th of November, 1849. It has no national
debt, no slaves, mil no hostile Indian tribes.
The Costa Rica Company have secured, on favourable terms, the
.._.l'llrehase of the whole of the Route, Harbours, and Conceded Terri-
with all its mineral and agricultural wealth.
f The Capital of the Company will be applied to the following ob-
jects:—
1- The sending out Engineers, with a body of working men, to
Peen and complete the Route from the Port on the Atlantic to the
rt on the Pacific.
The laying out of portions of the Territory for Settlers with
ltab!e Dwellings for their reception, especially near the Ports and
130 a the borders of the Route, so as to enable them, on their arrival,
begin
the immediate cultivation tf their lands.
3. The careful investigation of the mineral veins, and the atop-
. lien of (r iintnthe best means for their speedy
, ate of the lands, mines, and effectual development.
A
emote return of profit may be realised from the sale or
Litsretus well

is from the importation of the products of the Territory
