Company, shall be at liberty to d) so, and to receive back the origi-
nal 20s. per share, deducting the actual expenses incurred, ant
'which the Directors engage shall not exceed 2s. per share.
The unquestionabie character of the title—the exemption from
royalty and dues—the short distance from England—the proximity
to the Atlantic coast—the quantity and quality of the ore at surface
extracted from the bill above adit level—the prospect of speedy
returns from this source—the great extent of the veins, and their
progressive increase in richness in proportion to the depth, according
to the tests made—afford ample ground for expectation that the
Dividends of the Company will equal those of the richest Gold and
Silver mines now known, and that the provisional contract entered
into V the Directors will, upon the verification of the report, have
secured to the Shareholders the possession, in perpetuity, of a pro-
perty of great and increasing value.
