secured the water-works of Arras, the chief town of the de-

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing an
extensive and valuable grant of Lead, Copper, Iron Ore, and
Slate, en the north side of the noted Cader Idris Mountain,
known as the Cyfannedd-fawr, in the parish of Llanegryn,
Merionethshire, North Wales, held under lease for 21 years,
at 1-15th Royalty on all minerals (except Iron Ore, at a
Royalty of only 4d. per ton).
The great grant includes numerous lodes of Lead, Zinc, and
Copper —lron of the best quality, and blende with traces of
Geld also excellent Slate.
An alit-level intersects several lodes of Silver-lead, or
Galena.
A Copper lode opened upon, gives promise of' excellent re-
sults.

An Iron vein runs through the entire grant.
An extensive bed of Slate of good cleavage can be worked
to great advantage.
The Silver-lead, proved by assay, has yielded 40 ounces of
silver to the ton of ore.
Lead and Copper from a shaft at the end of the adit have
realised £32 per ton.
Th. e Iron vein is estimated to produce 61 per cent. of iron.
The Slate is of superior quality, and can be cut into pave-
ment, flooring, chimney pieces, &c. The streams of water
