ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purchase and working
the celebrated Frontino and Bolivia Gold Mines and works
in New Granada, South America.
The Directors feel great pleasure in calling attention to
ate reports furnished by Captain William Goyen. It is
-well known that the St. John del Rey Mining Company is
especially indebteo
, to this gentleman for its success, as the
Directors of that Company have so repeatedly and substan-
tially acknowl'Aged, He was in their service for 16 years
as mining engineer, and, by his practical knowledge and
the introdn.ction of machinery of his own invention, brought
those mires to their present position as the most productive
and bes*„ paying gold mines in the world.
Cap.,cain Goyen is now engaged to proceed to New
Granada, to superintend the operations of the Frcntino and
Bolivia Mines, and is taking with him machinery of a like
character, but on an improved principle, to that which he
iintroduced and which is now working at the St. John del
Rey Company's mines ; an i so satisfied are the directors of
the success of this undertaking, that they and their friends
have already agreed to take a large number of shares.
The reports of Captain Geyer. and other reliable autho-
rities, made from personal observation, designate these
Mines as equal, if not superior, to any in the known world.
No charges whatever will be made for preliminary, ex-
penses up to the time of allotment.
Applications for shares may be made to the London and
County Bank, Lombard-street, or any of its branches; or
to the brokers or secretary of the Company. Allotments
will be made according to priority of application, and in
case of non-allotment the deposit will be returned without
de iuction.
Plans and sections of the property, with specimens of
rich gold ore from the mines, and a model of Captain
Geyen's machinery, may be seen at the offices of the Com-
pany, where prospectuses, reports, and every imformat,
may be obtained.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a
Raii
.`waY from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's),
tirt the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important
town", as well as the prosperous condition and increasing
Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the
number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate
introduction of railways.
The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and
its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield
and av,rve average value ; whilst around the Coast there
are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea-
Weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of
land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com-
paratively unavailable.
Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality
of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to
any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite
near St, John's compares favourably with that now used in
the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of
railway facilities, become available for export.
One of the proposed Stations oil the line will be at St.
John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is
also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce
of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being
no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly
ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as
well as all necessaries required by the inland population,
are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides
these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held
during the year in this district, must add considerably to
the annual revenue of the Company.
The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown,
Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the
great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of
arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and
from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin-
cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels;
the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the
route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex-
pensive..

The access to the Island is easy, and the means of corn-
munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven,
Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by
sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient.
Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above
100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during
the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the rntiquarian
relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a
matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas
to the interior, and across the Island to Peel.

The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the
salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The
picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap
living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex•
pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so
small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per-
manent place of residence.
Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are
now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of
the Ports of Douglas and Peel.
The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently
established.

The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings.
The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the
gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula-
tion along it are most favourable to the project.
From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much
care, by con?petent persons, and well supported by Official
Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic wi:l re-
turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol-
lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic :
Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum.
Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c ... 5,500
Parcels and Mails * . l5O

,150
Working Expenses at even 50 per Cent. .£l3
6,500

Leaving for Dividend ................ £6,6,50

Plane, Sections, Szc., of the Line are completed, and all
necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with
the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an
Act of the Local Parliament.

Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island,
and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the
value of Railway property in England and other countries,
no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can-
not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this
Lino.

An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase
the land, make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations,
furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs,
upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent, per Annum
will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount
paid upon shares.
An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon-
sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.
Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from
the Secretary,Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.
