Ten Shillings per Share to be paid on allotment.
This Company is formed for the purchase of land and deve

The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now

from " Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's
Government and parties in Ceylon. vide Blue Book, page 15, printed
by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 r"—" Persons
the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re-
sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known
extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable
feature in the export trado of the country."

COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON.

Unnoticed in the interior."
EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. ÜBE.
" Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret
14 copper and of copper pyrites from Ceylon, placed in my hands by
Mr. Galbraith, as imported for ' The Ceylon Land and Mining Corn-
Ilay,' I find that these specimens are exceedingly rich, and vary in
composition. some of them, like that marked No. 22, from Ceylon,
contain nearly two-thirds (sixty-six per cent.) of copper for one-
third of sulphur.
