PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for the purchase of thirteen
Valuable estates already in profitable cultivation, situated in
the Province of Assam, in British India, and for the purp :se
of further developing and extending their operations.
The property consists of 12,000 acres of freehold land, held
direct from Government, of which 2,182 acres are planted
With tea plants of the following ages—namely, 440 acres, 3
Years old ; 902 acres, 2 years old; 440 acres, 1 year old ; and
400 acres, just planted.
The soil and c imate of this locality are second to none in
the province, as the following extract from the m nager's
report to the directors of the Bishnath Tea Company, a neigh-
pouring concern, for the season ending 3!st December, 156 i,
and submitted by them to the shareholders, will show :
" The out-turn of tea and seed has been unpre'edented in
Assam. The plantation in its fourth year has given an ave-
rage of 390 lbs., and the two year old gardens of 240 lbs. of
tea to the acre ; and this has been obtained at no sacrifice to
the prospects of future years, but with careful and light
plucking, as is evinced by the present healthy appearance of
the plants, which, I have often been assurel, are, in size and
Vigour, unsurpassed by any plantation of the age in Assam."
The dividends paid by the Assam, the Upper Assam, the
Jorehaut, leishnieth, and by several 'of the other tea om-
panies In Assam, vary from 20 to 30 percent and their shares
are at a premium of 100 to 200 per cent.
The factories have the advantage of being traversed by
good roads and navigable revers, and steamers p'y between
Assam and Calcutta, affording great 1 acilitks for the supply
of labour and for the other requirements of the estates. Not
less than 8,003 acres c m be brought into profitable cultiva-
tion; and each acre, when in full bearing, is capable of pro-
ducing at least 400 lbs. of tea.
The plantations are calculated to proluce, during the first i
year of the Company's operations (1861-65), returns sufficient
to yield 10 per cent. on the paid-up cap!tal ; and the vendors
guarantee a minimum dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.,
payable half yearly, upon the paid-up capital for three years,
to be calcu ated from the date of the registration of the Corn-
Patty. At the expiration of the three years the plants
ewill
De sufficiently advanced to give progressively larg divi-
dends, until the whole have attained maturity and yield a
maximum return.
The price to be paid for the property 10 £i63,000, payable
bay annual instalments, with interest, at 5 per cent., extend-
ing over a period of six years.
These terms the directors consider to be most advantage-
ous, as, while they show the confidence of the vendors in the
value of the pronerty, the easy instalments as to payments
will enable the young plants to grow up into full bearing,
and to yield large returns before the greater part of the capi-
tal is called up.
The undertaking originates with the Directors and their
iriends.ireeuy
No promotion-money will be paid to any one,
,either
or indirectly, and the preliminary expenses will ba
strictly confined to such as are absolutely necessary:
all he vendors stipulate that 6,000 of the shares are to be
alrried to them ; 6,000 of the remaining shares have been
publ'ilY subscribed for, leaving 6,000 shares avallab e for the
