SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prospset of speedy and successful
results.
The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the manaeement displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in C ilifornia, has been
In that country five months, and the coarse adopted by the Directors
for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him daring that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and atter mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measuerseishlese
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as i,

t
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemenh
experience in geology and mining matters, he inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which afford; the greatest advantages for car-
rying on our enterprise. lie has; 'therefore, entered into an .gree-
raent with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada
City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate Ole quartz to be raised from the mine opened by
them. By means of machinery, he has already cru had
and amalgamated csuside'able quantities of the quartz sup-
plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in
a few words, amounts to this : he is to be supplied by them with as
Much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
he is to crush and amalgamate it at Isis own expense, and
he g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arraneement fairly and honestly, and
Without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day,
with fends sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made about Christmas next.
Fer4he satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com-
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely urn reports sent over by persons interested in
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
Interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the value of
their mine upon calculations founded on experiments
Upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out milling operations
Npon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their
profits large per-centtges for obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
as that of any other comp any, unfettered by any per-tentage or
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
Parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact
Merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the
new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before
their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An
almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within th- next twelve
Months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
We are now working yields upon an average 45. per pound, or I/.
17s. 45. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461.
13s. 4d., or 3731. s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company.
By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based
Upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must
necessarily he such as to render the current outlay most trifling.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake milling operations
of their own, arrangements have heen made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
Went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their
services.
The gentlemen whe formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the
acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
rDire ;tory was due to those Shareholders who leave in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they
pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for-
Warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the qnestion now agitated between the holders of
leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
he operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The didiculty arising out of the many points
now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had been long
known to and was maturely considered by those having the control
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results.
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve of the prudence
Of the course they have adopted.
