Th'-

uls Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring and
extendinv 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 •uta2eously
situated on the navigable river Oka (which flows into the
Volga at Nijni Novgorod), and is within 66 miles of the rail-
road which connects ni with Moscow.
The Estate possessesNij an Inexhaustible supply of Iron Ore
of superior quality, yielding an average of 45 per cent., and
tas Works, which are now in operation and in good order,
0011818 t of—

5 Blast Furnaces.
22 Refining Furnaces.
17 Puddling Furnaces.
15 Rolling Mills, for all kind of Merchant Iron, Sheet Iron,
aud Iron Wire.
B Large Hammers for Sheet Iron.
125 Wire Mills
1 Factory for making all kinds of Steam Engines.
3 Smaller Factories for Repairing 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
the 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
Ilp.
The profits at the present time amount to about 537,000
silver roubles (about £70,000 sterling) per annum, subject,
ht
5 owever
, to a reduction of 72,000 roubles, being interest
aper cent. and 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 (£60,000). By ar-
rangement with the Proprietors, and hypothecation or
111,,artgage to the Company of their reserved interest in the
x-,state, 87,000 roubles (£11,000), being about 7 per cent.
Per annum upon the whole capital proposed to be called up,
guaranteed to be first paid to the Shareholders of the
''ompany; of the surplus profits (378,000 roubl9s, or
£49,000), three-fifths will belong to the present Proprietors,
and two-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 per cent. per
calledann is shown:upon the capital (£165,000) required to be
11). In the above estimate no account has been taken
the profits upon the manufacture of steam engines,
&c., 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
thirty-seven
_returning to the Shareholders, at the expiration of the
trurty-seven years, when the interest of the Company will
cease, the whole amount of the capital called up. On the
tO T,t..ermination of the lease the Proprietors bind themselves
taaav9 a valuation made of all the property above ground,
and, after deducting the present value, to pay to the Com-
pany onehalf of the difference in cash. Thus, in addition
to receiving a highly remunerative dividend durin t
the
irty-seven years, at the end of that time the whog le of
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
Lae map accompanying the prospectus, is the centre of a
group of Russian railways now in course of construction,
!nd is situated in tho midst of the most flourishing manu-
meturing 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.
