PROSPECTUS

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing,
working, and further developing several valuable and ex-
tensive Tea Estates in Upper Assam, in British India.
These Estates, which will be conveyed to the Company
partly in freehold and partly on perpetual lease, comprise in
all not less than 16,000 acres, chiefly of fine forest land, the
bulk of which is admirably adapted for Tea cultivation, and
are situate in the Luckimpore, at a distance of from six to
twenty miles from. Dibrooghur, the principal station, in
proximity to the rivers Tingri, Dikhom, Dehing, Tiplin,
and other streams, and to the two chief roads of the district.
They possess the advantage of a considerable supply of
local labour, and the suitableness of the locality for Tea
planting, as to soil and climate, has been sufficiently proved
by the success with which the cultivation has hitherto been
attended, both in these gardens and in those of the principal
companies already established in that pait of Assam.
Between Dibrooghur and Calcutta there is constant com-
munication by steamers, affording facilitiei for the supply
of imported labour to the Factories, and for other require-
ments, as well as for the conveyance of their produce to
Calcutta.

Of these Plantations, 1,G85 acres are planted in Tea Gar-
dens, the particulars of which are subjoined. The produce
of the Estates has obtained a high reputation in the Lon-
don Market. _ _

A minimum yearly dividend of 10 per cent. on the paid-
up capital, payable half-yearly, has been guaranteed, in
part by reduction of the purchase moneys, in other part by
the placing of a competent stun of cash in the hands of the
Directors,' and also by the deposit of the debentures in
which the purchase moneys are to be paid; the whole of
which securities afford, in the judgment of the Directors,
a most ample security for a dividend at £lO per cent. dur-
ing the first three years in case of need, but which the
Directors, however, do not contemplate will arise. After
the expiration of the third year, as nearly all the Planta-
tions will be in full bearing, it is confidently expected that
considerably larger dividends will be progressively rea-
lised, and the calculations from which this result is arrived
at have been made altogether exclusively of any return
from the sale of tea seed. _ _ _

The price for the property has been fixed at £168,500,
payable by annual instalments, with'interest at 5 per cent.,
extending over a period of five years, as follows, viz. :
On Allotment of Shares £28,500
31st July, 1866 38,000
17 17 1867 33,000
17 71 1868 20,500
71 71 1869 18,500
„ ~1870 30,000

Total £168,500
Provisional contracts for the purchase of the Estates
have been executed.
Eleven thousa'nd shares have already been applied for.
No promotion money whatever will be paid, and the pre-
liminary expenses will be strictly confined to what are in-
dispensable to the formation of the Company.

vendors should join the Direction.
The Articles of Association and Provisional Contracts
may be seen at the Offices of the Company.

dividend from the date of payment.
