SECRETARY.
'George Maceriochte, Esq.
This Company is formed for the purpose of Opening a New Route
. - of Communication between the Atlantic and eacific Oceans, across
‘44....._
_lfiflarnus of Central America, and developing the agricultural and
-"eralVealth of its Territory,
~,•On thelhores of Costa Rica, lying between lat. 8 deg. to 11 deg.
fis within a voyage of twenty days only from England, are two of
i the finest Harbours in, the the world—l3oca del Torsion the Atlantic,
and Golfo Deice on the Pacific side.
A line drawir between thesetwo'llarbours, measures a distance of
Seventy
miles only; - and presents one of the most eligible -Routes
that could be chosen - for opening a safe, speedy, and economical
Comma i
n cat'on between the two Oceans; a mule track already
existing from Sea to Sea. • ..
. The Government of Costa' Rica have granted a Tract of Laud; a
"agile in breadth, *cress the whole Isthmus, fir forming such Route ;
a°4 ',in addition to this, a magnificent territory of rich and fertile
evil, exceeding a lull ion of acres, to be held in perpe•uity. And the
Concessionaries are in undisturbed possession of tneir Estate, with a
eettlement already estabished there.
__The State of Costa Rica contains- immense mineral treasures, in
Bold, silver,
yilovneir, Copper, lead, iron, nickel,. zinc, antimony, and coal, re-
the application of capital, skill, and labour, to develop
Aeem to an indefinite extent. It also yields abundantly almost every
i"Tcrip den of tropical produce; more • especially coffee, cocoa, sugar,
euaec'o, indigo, rice, cochineal, silk, drugs, gains, balsams, and dye-
ant In great variety; and its 'mountains , are • covered with large
valuable timber, as mahogany, cedar, satin, and other fine
Cabinet weatis. . •
•
A'
du 'eve all, its soil and climate are so admirably suited to the-pro-
,. etion o!' the best qaalities of cotton, on the sea Wands and coast,
that instead ()fleeting new sti piles of Wit most important article
for
13ritish manufactures from the distant shores of India or. Bradt,
a
: • fie!. quantity required can be more . speedily produced and , ims
. Pried from the nearer territory of Costa Rica, where excellent &A-
-n is already grown. .. .. .
i - The climate is healthy, the temperature moderate, and all the ne-
! eeseac.....arles of life pr,eurable atless than half their cost inEurope; ,and,
''
''rw-ng to the testimony of those who have resided in the country,
1 1 Part of the globe possesses greater advantages for Emigrants
than Costa nice.
The
i„, Government is firmly establitehed—the country tranquil—the
inhabitant„ friendly; and full protection of person, property, and re-
; as.le4, is guaranteed to all Settlers or Colonists, by a Treaty of
. ....14tcleina,ndsignAmedity between the Government isf Costa Rica and Great
on the 27th of November, 1849. It has no national
/ . uvnt, no slaves, and no hostile Indian tribes.
The Costa Rica Company have !Secured; on favourable terms, the
Purchase of the whole of the Route, Harbours, and Conceded Terri-
t
.
. "I', 'with all its mineral and agricultural wealth.
. . The Capital of the Company will be applied to the following ob-
Jetts:—
i ,
~. s• The sending out Engineers, with a body of working men, to
vDen and complete the Route from the Port on the Atlantic to the
Pert on the Pacific. . '
„„,2•• The laying out of portions of the Territory for Settlers, with
'"ata, le% Dwellings for their reception, especially near the Ports and
on the borders of the Route, so as to enable them, on their arrival,
to ty, begin --e immediate cultivation of their lauds.
~03. The careful investigation of the mineral veins, and the adop-
. u n of, the best means for their speedy and effectual development.
