Offices in London-22, Austin-friars (temporary),
This Company has been formed in France under the law " en com-
=indite" (which limits the responsibility of shareholders to the
amount of their subscription), to work a valuable gold mine in Gooch-
land county, Virginia, United States of America. The mining pro-
perty consists of 430 acres of land, well watered and timbered for all
mining purposes,with the dwelling-houses and other buildings thereon.
The gold-bearing quartz veins or lodes already discovered, having
been tested by means of shafts or trial pits sunk at several points on
their course to a depth of 25 to 30 feet, are found to contain gold
equal to 161. per ton. Of these lodes one is 10 feet in width at a
depth of 25 feet, and has been traced thoroughly throughout the
estate.
A responsible party has proposed to take the contract for the erec-
tion of machinery capable of raising and crushing 50 tons of ore per
day for 8,0001. Labour and provisions being cheap in Virginia, it is
estimated that the cost of raising and crushing that quantity will not
exceed 7161. per month, yet at that rate the mine, even according to
the present value of the lodes, will produce over 100,0001. per annum
when in full operation.
In addition to the above mining property, the Company possess
75,000 acres of valuable land, situate in the counties of Tazewell and
Logan, in Virginia, where the climate is one of the most healthy in
the world. The tract of country (of which these 75,000 acres form a
part) was, in 1795, granted by Robert Brooke, Esq., Governor of
Virginia, to Robert Morris, Esq , and having remained in the pos-
session of the family of the grantee for a long period, it was, within
the last few years, divided and sub-divided by sale, and this estate was
thus legally conveyanced to the proprietor, from whom the Company
derive their title. These lands are exceedingly valuable, not only for
the agricultural purposes to which they are so well adapted, but also
on account of the coal and other minerals in which they abound.
Well-authenticated reports and other evidence of the above may be
examined at the Company's office, where a pamphlet containing a
full description of the lands, may be obtained gratis.
Shareholders will be admitted to a participation in these lands,
each 50 shares entitling the holder to 50 acres, exclusive of his interest
in the mine. That mistakes may not occur, shares will be issued, re-
presenting the joint interest in both the mine and the lands, and these
persons wishing to divide such interests, will be required to return
their shares to the office of the Company, receiving in exchange a
warrant for the land, and also a scrip for the mining interest.
As some of the lots in so extensive a tract are of greater value
than others, being in fact worth more than the price of the shares,
applications for choice of lots will be recorded in the order in
which they are made, according to a printed form to be obtained
at the office; but any shareholder desirous of separating his
holding in the mines from that of his allocation must record the
same at the office within one year from the date of the issue of
scrip.
Lands not applied for as above will be sold by the Company,
and the produce of such sales (kept distinct from the mining ope-
rations) will be paid in dividends to those who have not received
their interest in the said lands.
Attention is called to the fact, that this property is within four-
teen days' communication of England, and but three days from
New York.
A preliminary prospectus of the Company, containing a detailed
description of the property, with the estimates, &c., is now ready,
and may be obtained at the office of the brokers, Messrs. Kitchen
and Grugeon, 75, Old Broad-street ; or at the temporary office of
the Company, 22, Austinfriars, where applications for shares will
be received.

Dy order of the Council.
