The Company is formed for the purchase of the extensive
estates of Robertsfors and Eredricksfon, comprising about
150,0"0 acres cf freeho'd and crown lands, with large forests
and agricultural districts,as also timber andiron works, ship-
building yards, &c., and which are situated in the county of
West Dotter), in Sweden, five English miles from the harbour,
belonging to the estate, called Sisea„s in the Gulf of luthnia;
and also to extend the presen manufacture of iron, intro-
duce Bessemer's steel process, so as to produce on the spot.
from the pure Swedish iron ore and charcoal, a quality of
steel adapted for rails, ship-building, locomotive engine tires,
axles, shafts, and other machinery, boiler plates, armour
plates for ships, cannons, mo -tars, &c., and for all other pur-
poses Where it has proved desirable to substitute Bessemer
steel for iron. It is also intended to extend the yearly pro-
duce of timber for export, to build ships, and work the other
resources of the estate in such manner as may be found most
bow. fic al to the interests of the shareholders. •
The Swedi h bar ar d pig iron is justly celebrated in the vari-
ous markets of the world. At the International Exhibition
of 180, in less than fifteen exhibitors from Sweden received
medals for different kinds of iron and iron manufactures,
among which was part of an iron =hip that had struck on a
rock, And which was entirciy bent without breaking or
injuring the iron in any way. thus establishing its great
superiority for ship plates. It has been repeatedly stated in
our public journals—" The Times," " Mining Journal," and
other leading and ac entific organs—that we cannot as yet do
without Swedish iron. _ _ . .

The present proprietors have but to a small extent deve-
loped all the resources at their command, having derived an
average annual income of about £8,030 rAerling from the
profits obtained by employing only a moderate capital. Thus
the average yearly produce of charco .1 bar iron has been
limited to 620 tons, at a cost price of £7 58. per ton. Freight
hitherto paid from Sikea to England by timber vessels, 10s.
per ton ; other expenses, about Is.; making a total of £7 16s.
per ton, delivered in En. land, where the market price of such
iron now ranges from 2 los. to £l3 per ton—thus leaving a
nett profit of at least Li 17s. per ton. No pig iron is at pre-
sent sold from the property, and all the bar iron has of late
years been contracted for by a large firm (who are willing to
contract for more than double the quanti yl in France, where
it is considered one of the most superior qualities of Swedish
iron. and used for cutlery and other fine manufactures. One
of that firm has lately visited Sweden for the purpose of
making a contract for a series of years.
The present average produce of timber has also been
limited to about 27,000 dozen planks, which have been sold at
an average profit of 2s. per dozen— leaving a nett profit of
£2,700 sterling.
It is proposed to erect at a cost of about £16,010, converting
furnaces for the production of steel by the Bessemer process,
up to 200 tons per week, according to requirements, and
as Inv be found desirable. The cost of steel ingots will
not exceed £0 per ton, delivered in England ; and as the
present selling price is £l5 per on, a nett profit is left of £6
per ton, which, with a production of 200 tons per week, would
give au annual profit of £62,400, or equal to 41. per cent. on
the capital of the first issue, on steel alone, besides what
would accrue from the other resources. Dried wood has
lately berg used with great success and economy as a substi-
tute for charcoal.
There is no doubt that Bessemer steel will ultimately
supersede wrought iron in all such manufactures ; and it is
with a view to this that the Company intend to devote con-
siderable attention to its production in a locality where it can
be made from the very best materials.
'l he returns may fairly be estimated as follows :
a. Net annual returns of present proprietors,
.28,903, say
b. Profit on 203 tons of Bessemer's steelper week
