veloping an extensive mineral property situate etween Certalde and
Voltt,rra, in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, where deposits of rich
copy tsr ore of a remarkab:e character have recently been discovered.
he promoters of this undertaking having satisfied themselves of
thci existence of the mineral at several points, commenced the execu-
tion of workings, under the direction of Professor Haupt, the con-
srfiting Mining Engineer of the Tuscan Goverment, to prove the
lialue of the pi operty, and having extracted a considerable quantity
cf ores of different quallties, have now laid open a mine which pro-
mises toyield brilliant results, A sample of the ore that is now in
the course of raising has arrived in this country, and been
assayed by Mr. John Mitchell, who certifies to Its yielding 36 per
cent. of pare copper, and other metals as specified in the subjoined
certificate.

During the construction of the galleries, several lodes or courses of
the mineral have been discovered, which present most favourable
appearances ; and it is confidently anticipated that, with a judicious
expenditure of capital under English management, very large returns
till be obtained. The country is known to be rich in mineral wealth,
and there remain abundant indications of large and important work-
ings having been carried on during the thee of the Romans.

tory of nearly 20 square miles, the portion in the Niccoli. Estate being
held in perpetuity, and that in the Commune of St. Gemignano e

kind ; and further, the company possess the right of purchasing the
mill called of Gradmso, situate in the very centre of the metalliferous
district, should it be required for smelting purposes. for a price pro-
portioned to the rent it may be produc ng at the period of its transfer
to the company.
The works already executed, and the whole of the timber, ma-
terials, and mining utensils at present in use at the works, together
with the stock of mineral, of all classes, at present raised, are in-
cluded in the cession to the company.
The property is most advantageously situated within four miles
of the Central Railway of Tuscany, which runs from Certaldo to
Leghorn, a distance of about 50 miles, and possesses an abundance
water-power for all purposes from the Casciano streams.
The cession of this important property has been obtained upon
very advantageous terms, the consideration being 5,000 paid-up
shares of the company and 2,5001. in cash.

Mining Companies, under whose auspices the present company has
been organised.
