The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying into
effect an agreement made for the purchase of the undermen-
tioned Coal, Iron, and other Works, which have tor a long
time been carried on with very satisfactory results by private
individuals, and are capable of considerable expansion, with
greatly increased profits.
The Properties and Works have been purchased on very
favourable terms, on valuadons made by eminent mining
enJneers.
The Works consist of
I. The Ebbw Vale Collieries and Iron Works.
2. The Sirhowy Collieries and Iron Works.
3. The Vict ria Collieries and Iron Works.
4. The Abersychan Collieries and Iron Works.
5. The Pontypool Collieries and Iron and Tin-plate
Works.
6. The Abercarn Collieries and the Chapel Farm Estate.
7. Wharves and Landing Stages at NcWpOrt.
All in the county of Monmou h.
8. Hmmatite Iron and Coal Galeages 6r Royalties in the
Forest of Dean. in the county of Gloucester
9. The Brendon Hills Carbonate of Iron or Spathose
Mines, in the county of Somerset.
And the Estates comprise :-
3,251 acres of Fre• hold Land and Mines.
7,215 acres of Leasehold Mines, and agr.ements for leases
havin, upwards of 8 years unexpired.
2,137 acres of Leasehold Mines, haying from 10 to 50 years
unexpired.
700 acres of Mines in the Forest of Dean, held under a
Crown lease, renewable in perpetuity for perio Is of 21 years.
About 9 miles in length, or about 3,,00 acres. on the course
of the Spathose iron ore veins, in Somersetsh re, under leases
for about 50 years unexpired.
The leaseho d coal and iron-stone royalties are held on
very moderate terms.
There are upwards of 2,000 houses and Cottages on the free-
hold and leasehold estates.
The rentals from land, farms, and houses, amount to about
£14,000 a-year.
The works afford employment to more than 15,000 persons,
representing a population of 0,000 people.
Schools fur the a3ZOMMOiation of 2,200 children, and a Me-
chanics' Institute have been erected upon the estates.
There are 23 b:ast-furnaces, of which 16 are in operation at
the present time—three being cold blast.
The present annual prcduct of the various col'ieries is
850,000 tons of coal ; and this quantity can, with a compara-
tively sma 1 outlay, be increased to 1i million tons annually.
The produce of iron-stone is 280,000 tons annually, which can
be increased to 450,000 tone.
The iron-making coals on these properties are of a superior
quality, free from sulphur, and eminently adapted for the
manufacture of the best class of iron or steel.
The present annual yield from the furnaces is about 130,000
tons of pig iron, Including 12,000 tons of Pontypool cold blast,
but the arrangements are adapted for the production of
180,030 tons. About 90,C00 tons of rsils and finished iron the
sold annually, which can be increased to 120,000 tons with the
present applianc s.
All the properties are very favourably placed in regard to
shuatien of works and facilities of transport. The coal and
iron-stone mines, which are now drained and proved, will
Supply the present consumption, without any material in-
crease of dead charges or outlay of capital, for upwards of 50
years ; and with a small outlay will yield a further supply of
eOO,OOO to. s of coal per annum, for household and steam PUT-
roses, for a like period.
The hmmatite iron ore and coal properties held in the
Forest of Dean will shortly be opened, and placed in
direct communication by railway with the various iron-
works, the distances between which and the place of pro-
duction will be from 2 . to 42 miles only. whilst this class of
ore is now carried to the works 3.0 miles by water and 30
miles by raiL
The Forest of Dean ore contains from 35 to 42 per cent.
of iron, and is well known for its superior quality over other
hmmatite ores for the manufacture of the best iron and
steel. It is estimated that, when ful,y oper.ed, the mines now
held by the Company will produce 100,000 tons annually for
50 years.
The very extensive and valuable mines of spathose iron
ore, in Somersetshire, belonging exclusively to the Company,
are the only mines of their kind now being worked in Gre at
Britain, excel), ing the small veins found in the Durham lead
mines. When these mines are fully developed the works of
the Company will possess advantages greater than any other
works in the supply of this most valuable materia for the
manufacture of the best quality of iron and steel. And the
cost of producing spiegeleisn (pig iron. with this ore will
not exceed half the present cost of spiegeleisn deliv, red
in England from Germany, which country furnishes nearly
the whole of the supply required for the present consump-

tion.
The Directors have agreed for a licence for the manufac-
ture of steel by the Bessemer process, which, from the pecu-
liar resources they possess, they will be enabled to produce
in v ry large quantities, and at a price that in comparison
with other works, A ill insure to them the same advantages
in the manufacture of steel rails as the Ebbw Va!e Company
have so long enjoyed in respect of iron rails.
The stocks of material and finished iron will be taken at
the cost price, as entered in the books at the ast steck-
six
taking in September, 1863, and are to be paid for within
months.
The'contracts on hand, which are large, and at remunera-
tive prices, will be transferre d to the new Company.
Mr. Abraham Darby, the principal proprietor and manag-
ing partner of the whole o, the concerns comprised in the
present purchase, will undertake the duties of Chairman of
the Board, and has consented to act as Managing Director for
a period or five years, thereby securing to the new Company
the benefit of his long practical experience in the Manage-
Mr. Joseph Robinson, also a proprietor in all the above
concerns, and who for many years, as the London partner,
has had the princip .1 management of their commercial ope-
rations, will, under the direction of the Board, conduct the
business of the Company as heretofore,
From certified reports on the profits of the various works,
extending over a considerable period, and from a due con-
sideration of the advantages possessed by the Company,
the Directors feel justified in anticinating that the annual
dividends will be such as to give satisfaction to the Share-
holders.
The Vendors will subscribe for Shares in the Company to
the extent of halfa million sterling.
Three hundred thousand pounds of the purchase-money
will be paid within two months, and the remainder by six
equal half-yearly Instalments, with interest at 5 per cent.
raid.
No promotion-money or other similar payment will be
made.
