PROSPECTUS.
The "Curly" Cannel of a small district in Flintshire yields
a larger per-ventage of crude mineral oil, containing para-
ffin, than any cannel yet discovered.
This oil, a:thoup...,ll only slightly inferior in quality to the
celebrated petroleum of Pennsylvania, can be produced with
profit at less than one-third the cost of the latter delivered
in this country, whilst the refined oil distilled from the
"Curly" Cannel commands nearly the same price as the re-
lined American article.
From this mineral oil are produced spirits of turpentine-
substitute, burning oil, lubricating oil of three varieties,
solid paraffin, and grease of several kinds. All these articles,
when of good quality, find a ready market.
The three processes, namely, raising the cannel, distilling
the oil, and refining it, have hitherto been made three dis-
tinq and separate businesses, involving three different ma-
naeements, with their attendant expenses.
This Company is formed to distil and refine oil from can-
nel procured from its own mine ; it will thus unite three
businesses, from each of which large profits are now made.
By this combination, and by having the command of ample
capital and perfect processes, the Company will be enabled to
conduct a large trade to the greatest advantage, and thus
insure profits considerably in excess even of those now being
realised, either from the manufacture or refining of oil in
this country, or from its importation from any known source.
In furtherance of these objects the purchase has been con-
cluded of the well-known works of the Mineral 'Oil Com-
pany at alltney (near Chester), and Leeswood, in Flintshire,
and also of the Freehold Cannel and Coal Mines, Works,
and other property of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company,
contiguous to the Leeswood Works of the Mineral Oil Com-
pany.
The Company will thus at once enter into a well-estab-
lished, lucrative, and rapidly increasing business, with com-
plete works in 1 ull operation and with organised agencies, and
will at the same time acquire a freehold mine of well known
value, on terms which will enable the Company to supply
themselves with cannel of superior quality, at about one-
fourth of the present price. The purchase from the Mineral
Oil Company also includes an existing contract which will
entitle this Company to a supply of 100 tons per day of
"curly" cannel from the well-known Leeswood Green Col-
liery, for 22 years from 1860, at a price considerably below its
Present market value.
The price to be paid for the whole of the properties so
purchased will not exceed £160,000, payable by instalments.
