PROSPECTUS.

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing
and working a railway from the city of Buenos Ayres to
Chascomus, under a concession dated 11th June, 1862, granted
by the Government of Buenos Ayres to Mr. Edward Lumb.
Some of the principal conditions of the concession (a trans-
lation of which may beinspected at the offices of the solici-
tors) are as follows :-
1. It secures a guarantee of 7 per cent. for the term of 40
years from the Buenos Ayres Government, on an expenditure
not exceeding £lO,OOO per mile. The line is to be completed
in sections, and the guarantee takes effect from the opening
of each section to the public. The Government to be repaid
out of subsequent surplus profits any advances made under
their guarantee.
2. The line must be commenced within 18 months from the
11th June, 1862, and completed in four years from its com-
mencement.

3. The Government lands required for construction of the
line, stations, &c., are ceded free to the Ccmpany.
4. A right is granted to the Company to construct any
branches, but the Government are not bound to pay any
guarantee thereon, unless they require the Company to con-
struct them, or to extend the line to Dolores, in which event
the Government guarantee 7 per cent. on the cost of those
works.

5. The Government to have the right of purchasing the
line on payment 01 20 per cent. profit on its original cost,
6. All articles for the construction and use of the railway
to be admitted free of duty for the term of 40 years.
7. The railway, and all property belonging thereto, to be
exempted from any contribution or tax for the same period.
8. The guarantee to be made up and paid at the end of
each year.
The line, which is about 75 miles in length, has been care-
fully surveyed during the present year by English engineers
under the direction of Mr. Thomas Rumball, C.E.

A guaranteed contract has been made with Messrs. Peto
and Betts for the construction of the line, including stations,
workshops, and purchases of land, and also the provision of a
sufficient amount of suitable rolling stock. The contract pro-
vides for the completion of the works in accordance in every
respect with the provisions of the concession. An arrange-
ment has been made with Mr. Rumball, by which he under-
takes all the engineering expenses for a fixed sum, and the
transfer of the concession, including all preliminary expenses
up to the formation of the Company, has been agreed upon
for a fixed sum.

rovision has been made for the payment of 6 per cent. in-
terest during the construction of the works. The remainder
of the capital will amply provide for the expenses attending
the formation of the Company, and for the management dur-
in construction.
Carefully prepared statistics as to the actual traffic between
the city of Buenos Ayres and Chascomus have been submitted
to and examined by the Virectors, and show that the actual
receipts on the present traffic, without any computation for
the increased traffic which will inevitably follow the con-
struction of the railway and the development of the re-
sources of the country, will secure a large surplus over the
guarantee.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Directors
in the annexed form ; but no application will be considered,
unless accompanied by the receipt of Messrs. Glyn, Mills.
and Co. for £1 per share on the nnmber of shares applied
for. This sum will be returned in the event of the appli-
cation not being acceded to, and, if an allotment is made,
it will be applied towards the deposit of £3 per share then
payable.
