Tho property in the Mathilde Mines has been obtained
upon the following reasonably terms :—£15,000 in case and
£25,000 in shares. A large portion of the capital has already
been subscribed, and the remaining shares are offered to the
public as a sound and profitable investment.

and Mr. Hausmann, Head Government Engineer, of Bruns-
wick and Hanover, are appended.

ABSTRACT OF MR. BLAKE'S REPORT.
MATHILDE MLNES, NEAR sEIi.;SEN, HAHAUSEN,
FOREST-REVIEft HAHAUSEN, GERMANY.
This property, consisting of 1,200 acres of land, held under
grant from the Government on liberal terms, is situated about
three miles north-east of the town of Seesen, and is inter-
sected by the railroad from Brunswick, and also by the public
road from Seesen to Goslar ; it consists of a basin of sedi-
mentary rocks, underlying N.W. at an angle of 12 deg. from
the south boundary of the property, and extending from W.
to E. through its whole length until cut off at the eastern
boundary by an upthrow fault, on the cast side of which are
the clay, slate, and porphoretic rocks, torming the northern
portion of the barn mountains.
The peculiar value of this property is the existence of a
bed of bituminous shale of the same character as the cele-
brated Mansfeld Mines. The shale is here eight inches thick,
with four inches of copper sandstone, while in Mansfeld it
is only four inches, and the sandstone ore is absent, but it is
found at Sangerhausen, and is more productive of copper
than the shale. The contents of which average in Mansfeld
13 per cent of copper. The identity of the bed is also proved
by the fossil fish which are found between the lamina of the
shale, and all in one position doubled up, having been all
dead before bang enclosed in the rock.
The existence of this bed under the whole property, has
been proved by the shafts marked on map S.. K., IL, in the
eastern portion, and two in the western, markek L„ in all of
which the shale maintains the same character and strength.
The depth from sur: ace is, on the south side, about 30 feet ;
and, in the deepest portion, where the main shafts should be
placed, marked M., wilt net exceed 100 feet, while the depth
of the Mansfeld Mine is 301 to 400 feet. .There is also an ab-
sence of water, which offers great advantages in the cheap-
ness of working. This property being of quite an exceptional
character, I considered it right to visit Mansfeld, tt, ascertain
for myself the method of treatment of the ores, and also the
cost of working and extracting the copper and silver ores,
which have rendered these mines so famous. The weekly
yield being at present £B,OOO worth of silver and £16,000 worth
of copper from eight mines. The nature of this ore is such
that it is treated at a mere nominal cost, and without any ex-
pensive chemical or patent process, and the ores at Mathilde
Mines can be all treated in the same way.
I now give you a statement of the expenses required, and
the results which may be depended upon as being correct,
the prices having been carefully ascertained from Mr. Asses-
sor Hausmann, of Brunswick, the head Government engi-
neer, and carefully checked by personal observations and in-
quiries at Mansfeld, wages being here one-third less than in
England.
I have, therefore, no hesitation in recommending you at
once to complete the purchase of this most valuable property,
which contains over 4,000,0.0 tons of ore ; 1,200 acres gives
54,140,0t0 feet, which, at 11 cent per foot, will yield a
gross value of over £5,C00,000 of copper, and allowing one-
hal for expenses, will yield £2,500,0u0 profit, without includ-
ing the value of the silver.
ABSTRACT OF REPORT OF ASSESSOR HAUSMANN,
GOVERNMENT MINING ENGINEER, BRUNS-
WICK.

The new shafts down to the copper schists are from 30 to
100 feet deep, and become deeper as you go farther north. In
a westerly direction, through the length of the property, the
depth may vary from 30 to 100 feet, but in all other parts it
is uniform.
The extraction of the schist and sand ores is contracted for
at about its. per ton.
The Railway crosses the property in its length from east
to west ; there is a railway station close to the newly estab-
lished experimental shafts, and this is the place adapted for
the erection of works for smelting the ores. There is a direct
communication by rail to Harburgh, distance 80 miles;
freight, 6s. per ton.
According to experiments, up to this date, the copper
schist and the sand ores have, on the average, produced two
per cent. of copper; and, in each hundredweight of copper,
fo . of silver—there being a considerable portion of goldur
the oz
in silver.
•The copper schist layer has everywhere, as in the count of
llansfeld, the same strength, 14 inches, whereof 7i inches is
malleable ore, and 2i inches sand ore. The whole strength
of the malleable bed, 10 inches.
These items are given in minimum.
In conclusion, I beg to say that in these flatbeds where the
copper schist layer is equally diffused, the profits from these
2 per cent. ores have a great advantage over copper ores of a
richer per centage, which in England and other countries are
firm, mixed with gangues.
I must not omit to mention that the whole of the copper,
schist layer has a considerable and equally diffused amount
of bitumen, photogene, and salarial oil, &c., which is strong
that a heap of it once ignited by a little wood for roasting
purl oses, continues to burn without further trouble.
Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed
to the Prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £1 10s. per
Share. If no allotment be made, the deposits will be returned
in full ; and it a less number be allotted than is applied for,
