PROSPECTUS.

he Directors of this Company have secured, by agreement,
the *rant of the Mathilde Mines, situate at the toot of the
north-western spurs of the Harz Mountains, close to Neuen-
krwr, and distant about two miles and a half in a northern
direction trom the town of Seesen, and forty miles from the
city of B unswica- The area cf the grant is about twelve
hundred statute acres.
The surface of the property from east to west is free from
break or interruption, whilst in a transverse direction it is
depressed into a slight curve, having its greatest depth near
the line of the main toad.
The geological position of the property included in this
grant is precisely identical with that of the celebrated Mans-
field Mine, and there can be no doubt but that the cupreous
bed so long and profitably worked by the Mansfeld Company
also exists in the present grant.
The thickness of the copper-bearing, schist, at the points
where it has been examined, is very uniform, and the en-
gineer reports it to exist, with little variation in this re-
spect, throughout the greater part of the lands included in
the concess on.
The strata overlying the Kupferschiefer offer no difficulty
to tile operations of the miner. The cost of piercing them
must necessarily vary with the dimensions of the shafts.
Labour can be freely drafted from the Ober Harz, and the
scale of wages payable for an eight hours' shift is one third
less than is paid in England.
Materials of every kind are readily procurable in the vari-
ous markets of Prussia, Saxony, and Westphalia, and c in be
transported to the mines by means of the railway which
passes directly through the property.
The Royalty payable to the Ducal Government is 1-20th
of the value of all Ores raised, sold or smelted. No mini-
mum rent is imposed, neither is there any State supervision
calculated to prevent the free and unrestricted development
of the property.
The copper schist deposit is only known to exist in the
Mansfeld district, at the foot of the Harz Mountains and
New Brunswick, British America, but it has alone been
worked at Mansfeld.

The value of this property and the rcgularity of the pro-
duce of the cupreons beds may be best estimated by reference
to the following statistics of the Mansfeld Mines, the weekly
yield of which at present is upwards of £B,OOO worth of sil-
ver, and £16,000 worth of copper.
