PROSPECTUS.
This Company has heen established for the purpose of
working the rich deposits of Lead Ore aud Slags occurring at
the Priddy Minery on the Mendip Hills, within three miles
of Wells, in Somersetshire, where an accumulation of lead-
producing debris, e4timated at 600,000 tons, has been die-
crovere . and Irv' iich is calculated to contain at least Nine
Hundred Thousand Pounds' worth of that metal.
This large deposit is, doubtless, the remains of very ancient
mining and smelting operations, and the old miners, having
taking advantage of the locality, have evidently brought their
ores to be wearied and smelted on the banks of the rivulet
which floes through the valley.
The quantity of ores thus brought, the imperfect means
formerly available for saving the finer parrs f mineral, and
the large per centage of metal left in tia, old slags, have re—
sulted in the accumulation at this spot of vast quantities of
fine slime, mixed with fragments of slag, filling up the whole
depression of the Valley to a thickness in some places exceed-
ing 3 feet, and extending over an area of 25 acres.
The improvements which have of late years been introduced
in the washing and smelting of lead ores are such, that these
residues of the ancients can now be rendered commercially
available, and large quantities of metallic lead of the finest
quality may be obtained ; all that is required to insure this
result being a sufficient amount of washing machinery and
proper furnaces under the direction of a practised smelter.
In this undertaking there is none of the uncertainty neces-
sarily atten ing all mining operations. The question is
simply one of washing and subsequently smelting the pro-
duce of a deposit the amount and yield of which are well
known before commencing operations.
The property is situated only three miles from the railway
station at Wells, and when the deposit has been all worked
out, which, with vigour, can be accomplished in about thirty
years, the land and works will still be the property of the
Company, and available for smelting ore f rom the adjacent
mines.
The lease is for a term of f ourteen years, held under the
Eccles!astical Commissionem renewable for ever, nd the
royalty only 1-18th, which is very small compared with the
royalty on mines.
The machinery and appliances on the property are of the
newest and most approved desert tion, and cvable of pro—
ducing about 40 tons of metallic kid monthly, but a small
additional outlay will enable the returns to be increased to at
least 100 tons monthly.
The Directors have been enabled to purchase the whole of
the above very valuable property, together with all the ma-
chinery, dressing apparatus, smelting furnace, &c., for the
sum of £65,( 0 and have reason to believe that it is capable
of yielding an annual profit of at least £12,000 per annum for
the next thirty years.
For a more ~etailed description of this property and its re-
sources, the Directors Would rerer to the reports of Professor
Ansted and Messrs. Hopkins, Ennor, and Phillips, which
may be Obtained at the Offices of the Company.
In the event of the Directors not proceeding to allotment
the deposits will be returned in full.
Full Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be ob-
tained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 17, Gresham
House, Old Broad-street.
