PROSPECTUS.
...te vast mineral wealth with which, amongst its numerous great
natural and physical resources, Ireland is endowed, is no modern
discovery. Marty years ago a body of philanthropic gentlemen con-
templated its development. as a means of improving the material
and moral condition of the labouring population of that country, by
providing them with more remunejative and more constant em-
ployment than its system of agriculture afforded; but the good inten-
tion was thwarted by the sensitiveness of CAPITAL, which, although
it wilt explore the remotest corners of the globe in sear. h of invest-
ment that may be deemed safe as well as profitable, will not risk
itself in a country where it it suppozied that the governing power or
the habits of the people cannot guarantee the ordinary degree of
security for person and property : in fact, the same cause which so
long baffled every benevolent project for inviting British capital to
assist in improving the agriculture of Ireland, and with it the condi-
tion of the Irish peasant, operated with equal force to prevent the
development of its mineral riches.
he discouragement arising from this cause, however, no longer
exists ; the Irish peasantry do not now look with jealousy
upon the stranger who brings with him the means of fur-
nishing themselves with constant employment, at such wages as will
enable them to enjoy the necessaries, and even some of the comforts
of life, which formerly were beyond not merely their reach, but their
hopes.
letely altered the complexion of mining
The happy change has comp
enterprise in Detail I : for whatever agrarian prejudices may still
linger in the minds of the labouring eimses, the, tie not extend to
mining undertakings. Wherever a mining adventure bas for some
years ast been set on foot, there has been found a ready command
of vigoprous and cheerful labour, and that, too, at a cheap rate com-
pared with the wages of mining labour in Cornwall and Devonshire.
When we add to this the statement of an unimpeachable authority
—the " Time s" Commissioner—ThatSwansea Sale Lists
prove that the Copper Ores of Ireland wilt bear comparison with the
richest in the world ;" a statement corroborated by the fact, that ore
raised ism the Knockatrellane Mines. has realised le/ . per ton in
the Swansea market; when, we repeat, the combined advantage of
the great r cheapness ut labour, and the greater richness of the
mineral veins in Ireland is considered, no surprise need be excited
by the extraordinary success of the few miulug adventures whiJh
have been as yet carried into effective operation there, by means of
British capital.
The County of Waterfo d is known to be capable of 3 ielding ores
as rich as those produced in the County of Wicklow, and the mineral
field, which the Committee have secured in the former county, is
perhaps more favourably situated for mining operations, and carriage
to the port of shipment, than 1,00 others i and south of Irelai.d.
The sett contains upwards of 0 acres,is intersected by the
high road to the Port of Dungarvon, from which it is only twelye
miles distant. Two shafts have been sunk, one on the Knockatre
lane side of the valley, through which the River Ni re runs, and the
other on the Grainagower side. From the former shaft an edit level
has been driven, -and ore of so rich a quality has been produced, that
some quantity of it ha,, as before mentioned, realised at Swansea
181. per ton, and other samples, as will be seen from the appended
certificate of Mr. Mitchell, the eminent essayist, have been found to
contain fifty-four per cent. of copper.
The Niro River, which is fully fed throughout the year by nu-
merous springs and mountain streams, runs through the sett, and
will supply ample and never-failing water-power for driving
machinery, pumping, dressing, crushing, er any other purpose that
may be required.
The primary object of the Committee is to work effectually the
lodes which are known to exist in the sett or mining ground which
they have secured, and which, as has been stated, extends over an
area of upwards of 1,000 acres, and for this purpose they have
undertaken the format on of a Company, with a proposed Capital of
20,000, iu 20,000 shares of 11. each.
The Company's lease is for thirty-one years, and the landlord's
royalty is one sixteenth.
The ouerations of the Company will be conducted on the cost-
book principle, and meetings will be held every three months for
auditing the accounts, &c., of which the Shareholders will have
due public notice.
Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the
Committee of Management,' at the offices of the Company, or to the
Brokers and Solicitors, where Prospectuses may be obtained.
