ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

„The extensive and valuable properties of Crawshay Belle
M.P., known as the Aberaman Iron Works and Col-
liery, which are of European celebrity, have been carefully
'▪ arveyed by Joshua Richardson, Esq., M.1.C.E., F.G.S., &C.,
11,11c1 extend over an area of 1,53”) acres of Freehold Land on
Lag North Crop of the South Wales Coal Basin, and contain
It greater number cf the veins of ironstone and coal than is
usually found in any property of equal extent.
The coal is the noted Aberdare Steam Coal, and certified
by Mr. Richardson as " The best steam coal in the kingdom,"
aid stands at the head of the Government list.
Mr Richardson describes the property in his Report " as
containing 16 veins of coal, of the aggregate thickness of 48
feet, besides the numerous courses of ironstone, of the aggre-
gate thickness of 141 feet ; these extend over the area of the
Whole estate, and there are four veins of the average th.ck-
12ess of 8 feet, which crop out on the side of the mountain ;
and below the 9 feet there are four more veins of coal of 10
feet in thickness."
The ironstone " is the black bind, a carbonaceous ore,
Which is comparatively rare, and yields from 60 to 70 per cent.
°V iron," and aso the ordinary argillaceous ironstone. The
Vgregate thickness is 51 feet.
The estate contains at least 91,485,440 tons of whole or un-
;worked coal, which would yield a supply of upwards of i,roo
black
a day, or 3C0.0)0 tons per annum for 304 years ; and of
;.lack band iron ore, 4,e40,510 tons, which is equal to 3,000
tons of bar iron per annum for 773 years ; and of argillaceous
ironstone, 135,3,.9,270 tons, whi.h is equal to 500 tons per
Week, or 26,100 tons of bar iron per annum for 1,300 years.
This Company has entered into a provisional contract for
the purchase of the whole of the freehold :and leasehold
states, including the whole of the minerals, rents, royalties,
Wayleaves, &c., besides the ironworks, coal-fields, and good-
will of the business, and a so the mansion, 300 cottages,
buildings, plant, machinery, engines, stocks, railways, tram-
WaYs, and other property.
Mr Crawshay Bailey, although working the property only
very limited extent, has realised very large profiti, and
etires, in consequence of advanced age, with a princely f,,r-
tuae. Mr Richardson reports that the income may be doubled
Or trebled As ith moderate additional outlay, and Mr. D. Jones
reports that £lOO,OO ) per annum net profit can easily be
realised ; and assuming only half this income be prodired,
fed supposing the share capital upon which the dividend will
paable to be £250,100, i, follows that, after allowing in-
!erest on loans, &c., from 15 to 20 per cent, will be evadable
!Pr a dividend to the shareholders, and this not from an un-
dertaking requiring to be developed, but from an old-estab-
ushed and lucrative business.
With a view to keep the called-up Share Capital as low as
possible, arrangements have been made by which the vendor
as agreed to allow a large portion of i he purchase money to
remain at interest ; this will materially increase the dividends
to shareholders.

_ Copies of the Articles of Association, which contain the
terms of the provisional contract, and of the reports referred
to, may be seen at the offices of the Solicitors of the Com-
pany. _ _

Applications for the remaining shares must be made in the
form annexed, and be accomp .nied by a payment of £1 per
share ; if no allotment be made, the amount will be returned
forthwith; if a less number is allotted than is applied for,
the amount paid on appli ation will be applied towards the
payment of the £4 due on allotment—the balance, if any,
being returned.
Detailed Prospectuses and Forms of Applcation may be
had at the Office of the Company, and of the Bankers, Bro-
kers, and Solicitors ; and also at the Offices of the Financial
Corporation (limited), 14, Leadenhall-street, London.
