1. The object of this enterp ise is to take advantage of the
impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of
the Excise t .uties, ut der eir..umstances pecuilarly favourable,
the materials b( ing obtained by a patent process in full ope-
ration, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with
the COB' of similar products in the or en market.
2. It is well known that very large fortunes have been
realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which
amounted to £2O to £•cs per cent. upon the value of first-class
News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con-
stantly lucre 4-Ing demand for the supply of 13Jolta, Periodi-
cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and
very remunerative business to a manufactory situated close
to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plane, with
the greatest regard to economy of production by the saving
of labour and the introduc ion of machinery of the most per-
fect description.
3. Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 1862,
It, is proposed to purchase at their actu cost, the under-
takiags of the ltttrick Forest Paper Mill Company and the
Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under
the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company.
4. 1h e works of the Ulmate or Ammonia Company were
established in 1860, on t.,e Thames, at Grays, in Essex, for
the purpose of working Ward's Patents for obtaining paper-
making materials from rags of mixed fabrics, and a valuable
manure powder from the tea due. The patent process has
proved, mechanically and commercially, completely success-
ful, and working by day only, the machinery produces 25 tons
of paper-making material per we k, and about the same
quantity of powder, containing about 15 per cent. of soluble
nitrogen. estimated as ammonia, closely approaching in rich-
ness to the best qualities of Peruvian guano.
5. In 1852, a large mill for ma iufacturing into paper the
fibrous products of the w .rks at Grays, in mixture with other
materials, was erected on the Dartford Creek, by the well-
known engineering firm, Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Sons,
with every recognised practical improvement in construction
and ac mhinery. Driven by steam power, abundantly supplied
with thi' purest water from an Artesian well, with coal and
materials by water carriage, and cheap transport for the
paper by rail to London, the power and economy of produc-
tion have prov(d highly advantageous as compared with
mills located, the great mijority still are, on country
streams, on which they are more or less dependent for mo-
tive power and tor water for working purposes.
8. The presei.t turn out of the Paper Mill is 16 tons or news
and print ng papers per week made t) order, and the works
were built so as to admit of the doub ing of the production,
at an outlay very largely below thecost of the original under-

R. To carry out the intended purchase, to double 0
the scale
of the Paper Mill, to utilise to the fullest extent the produc-
tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary
working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in
shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as
a fund of credit, deemed highly d sirable for tue safe and
profitable working of a Limited Company.
9. After providing for every ontingency, the net profits
calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied
to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper, and
25 to 30 tons of manure powder, perweek, will be from £2o,' 03
to £25,000 per annum, according to the condition of the mar-
kets, giving a dividend of from 15 to 20 per cent., n ith pros-
pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments
of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the
state of affairs in America, and other di turbing causes.
A very large share of the capital has already been sub-
scribed by the present owners of the properties.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obta ned from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the
Offices of the Company.
Applications for shares must be made in the form annexed
to the prospectus, accompanied by the deposit of £ I per share.
If no allotment he made the deposit will be returned in full ;
and it a less number be allotted than is applied for, the sur-
plus will be used towards the payment on allotment.
