PROSPECTUS.

This Company, whose rights extend over an area of 132 acres of
itch mineral land held by sub-lease, for the remainder of the term,
granted by the Baroness de Sternberg to Richard Barker and others,
for a pet :od of twenty-one years, from Ist June, 1850, at a Royalty
Rent of Is. Gd. for every 34 cwt... of ore raised, and 1001. per rnnum
certain rent which merges in the Royalty, is formed for the pu-poze
of working Hematite Iron Ore in Frizington Parks I,linin;
dh-
trict, situate within six miles of the Port of Whitehaven.
The ore raised in the immediate district of this mine i 4 proved to
be unusually rich, averaging from GO to 70 per cent. of iron.
Three different provings have been made at a considerable outlay,
and a rich bed of ore has been bored through at a depth of 25 fa-
thoms, correspone. ing with that obtained from the mines now work-
ing on the boundary lines.
The thickness of the beds of ore varies from 12 ft., 22 ft., 30 ft., to
50 it. This Royalty being so well proved, and of such an extensive
area, abounding in mineral wealth, affords the best guarantee for
safe investments and large profits.
Prospectuses, with printed forms of application for shares, may be
obtained of the Broker and at the Offices of the Company, where the
Engineer's Reports, maps, and specimens of the ore may be seen.

ABSTRACT OF REPORTS.
"Therefore, judging of srr"ace appearance, and taking into ac-
count the apparently regular stratification of the rocks, together
with existing proofs by bore-holes end drafts, I have no hesitation in
stating, that the prospects of lucrative mining ere much supe.lor to
any i*on ore royalty I am acquainted with.
" JOSEPH Rorsow, WAltehaven."
" Taking every circumstance connected with this Royally into
consideration, we have come to the conclusion that there is every
probability of a highly remunerative yield extending over a long

pei
"JOSEPH Roesox, Railway Engineer and Practical Geologist.

"The Old 111'nes have been working many years, and must have
produced an immense quantity of ore, and I am not aware of an
instance of one of them having been worked out or exhausted since
their commencement, nor do I hear that there is any prospect ol
their present exhaustion. In prosecuting their workings they are
led on to new discoveries ; they are all working to good profit ; the
most productive yielts about 1,000 tons per week, and the party
owning it is supposed, from the best of data as to selling price, work-
ing cha-ges, and leading, to clear eight or ten thousand pounds per
annum (I have heard it stated twelve to fifteen thousand pounds).
He has made a fresh discovery recently, and sunk a new pit. The
depths of the sha.ts rarely exceed forty fathoms ; their working
establishments are slur 11, no heavy engines, the water being light ;
thera is a good demand for the ore, and a good price obtained, from
10s. to 12s. per ten.
