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
too 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-
bouring concern, for the season ending, 3' st December, t 063,
and submitted by them to the shareholders, will show:
"The out-turn of tea and seed has been unprecedented in
Assam. The plantation in its fourth year h,s given an ave-
rage of 190 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 assured are in size and
vigour, unsurp.ssed by any plantation of the age'in Assam."
The dividends paid by the Assam
jorehaut, Bishnath, and by severa'otitleapoetrheArerm, the
com-
panies in Assam, vary from 20 to 30 percent., and theierasre
are at a premium of 100 to 200 per cent.
The factories have the advantage of being traversed by
good roads and navigable rivers, and steamers ply between
Assam and Calcutta, affording great facilities 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 fultbearing, is capable of pro-
ducing at least 400 lbs. of tea.
The plantations are calculated to produce, during the first
year of the Company's operations (1861-65), returns sufficient
to yield 10 per cent. on the paid-np capital; 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 Com-
pany. At the expiration of the three years the plants will
oe sufficiently advanced to give progressively larger divi-
dends, until the whole have attained maturity and yield a
maximum return.
The price is be paid for the property
is £63,000, payable
by 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 property, the easy instalment{ 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 wiih the Directors and their
friends. No promotion-money will be paid to any one, either
°treaty orexpenses will be
"rietl indirectly, and the preliminary
Y confined to such as are absolutely necessary:
allotted ndors stipulate that 6,000 of the shires are to be
sireto them ; 6,000 of the remaining shares have been_
public). subscribed for, leaving 6,000 shares availab.e for the
