This Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring and
extendintf the well-known Ironworks, which have been esta-
blished and in successful operation for a long period at
"Vuicksa, in Russia.
The Estate, which covers an area of 405,00) English acres,
and contains 35,000 inhabitants, is most adv uta eously
situated on the navigable river Oka (which flows into the
Volga at Nijni Novgorod), and is within 66 mile+ of the rail-
rout which connects Mut Novgorod with Moscow.
The Estate possesses an inexhaustible supply of Iron Ore
of superior quality, yielding an average of 45 per cent., and
the Works, which are now in operation and in good order,
Consist of—

5 Blast Furnaes.
21 Refining Furcnaces.
17 Puddling Furnaces.
•
15 Rolling Mills, for all kind of Merchant Iron, Sheet Iron,
ard Iron Wire.
8 Large litimmers for Sheet Iron.
125 'Wire Mills
1 Factory for making all kinds of Steam Engines.
3 Smalr Facts for Repai ring Engines.
1 Large Boiler Factory, for making Steam Boilers and
Steamboats.
5 Foundries.
3 Factories for making Scythes. Nails, &c.
6 Brick Kilns.

The above are worked by 72 water wheels, of 1,050 horse
power, besides 15 steam engines, of 478 horse power.
270,000 acres of the Estate are covered with valuable
timber ; and this supply of fuel, coupled with the abundance
and cheapness of labour, has enabled the Proprietors to
produce Iron at a much less cost than in England, whilst
the selling price in Russia is more than double what it is in
this country, as the production within the empire is not
equal to the demand, and Foreign Iron (except of a parti-
cular class) is kept out of competition by the high import
duty and cost of transport.
The price at which the Company's interest in the pro-
perty, as defined below, has been conditionally acquired, is
the sum of £60,000, in addition to which, an estimated sum
of £35,000 will be required to pay off existing charges on property, and it is calculated that the sum of £70,000
will be required for working capital, making together
£165,000, which is the whole amount proposed to be called
Up.

The profits at the present time amount to about 537,000
silver roubles (about £70,000 sterling) per annum, subject,
however to a reduction of 72,000 roubles, being interest
at 5 per cent., and sinking fund on a debt of 1,200,000
roubles due to the Russian Government, thus leaving a
net annual profit of 465,000 roubles (X 60,000). By ar-
rangement with the Proprietors, and hypothecation or
mortgage to the Company of their reserved interest in the
Estate, 87,000 roubles (£11,000), being about 7 per cent.
Per annum upon the whole capital proposed to be called up,
is guaranteed to be first paid to the Shareholders of the
om
Cpany ; of the surplus profits (378,000 roubles, or
£49,000), three-fifths will belong to the present Proprietors,
wo
and t-fifthsto the Shareholders, for a period of 37 years.
Thus, on an estimate of the profits at the present time, and
-without considering the improvements likely to result from
an increase of capital, a dividend of about 20 percent. per
annum is shown:upon the capital (£165,000) required to be
called up. In the above estimate no account has been taken
Called the profits upon the manufacture of steam engines,
boilers, eco, and it is anticipated that by the introduction
of further capital and the development of the works, the
returns will be more than doubled.
It is intended to create a Sinking Fund for the purpose
girrrurumi6.- to the Shareholders, at the expiration of the
upy;Tven Years, when the interest of the Company will
de‘t--7 whole amount of the capital called up. On the
have of the lease the Proprietors bind themselves
'1 a valuation made of all the property above ground,
and, after deducting the present value, to pay to the Com-
pany one-half of the difference in cash.' Thus, in addition
'!o. receiving a highly remunerative dividend during the
'Lindy-seven years, at the end of that time the whole of
their Capital will be returned to the Shareholders with a
considerable Bonus.
It is believed that the Russian Government will grant a
concession for the construction of a railroad to pass through
the Estate, and connect the Nijni Novgorod and Moscow
line with Riazan and Toula, which, as will be seen from
the map accompanying the prospectus, is the centre of a
group of Russian railways now in course of construction,
and is situated in the midst of the most flourishing manu-
facturing districts of the empire.
Plans of the Estate and Works, the engineer's report,
and other documents on which the above statements are
founded, may be inspected at the offices of the Company.
Applications foi Shares to be made in the accompany-
ing form. In the event of no allotment being made, the
deposit will, be returned in full. Should a less number of
Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may

Bankers, Broker; and Solicitors.
