This Company is formed for working, by Perkes' Patent Machines,
the Auriferous Minerals lately so abundantly discovered in Cornwall
and Devon.
A most advantageous arrangement has been made with the Bissoe
Mining and Smelting Company for a transfer of their extensive
works, situ& ed near Bissee Bridge, parish of Kea, Cornwall, and
having the Devorn and Redruth Railway running within a few yards
of the premises, with a siding into the works, thus fixing thena in
the centre of a great mining locality. These works are very exten-
sive, and in complete repair with water power, at pres nt employed
for the manufacture of Todd's Protoxide Paint, the patent of which
was purchased by that Company. A new steam-engine has been
erected within the last few months, and to which it is new intended
to attach Perkes' Gold Nntoegamating Machines for working the
Auriferous Mnerals found in the neighbu••hood. Wheal Jane. West
Wheal Jere, the United. and Consols Mines being about a mile from
the works, as well as many others, and, from the trials already made
with these machines, a source ofgreat wealth. hitherto undeveloped,
is likely to be opened up for the mines in this nei hbourheod. It is
thus believed that a very large return on the capital expended by this
Company will he obtained.
It is ftir• her suggested that a very considerable revenue may be
derived from testing samples for the various mines in Cornwall, thus
saving the expense and delay of sending them up tot ondon.
It must be obvious that, in operating with so subtle and valuable
an agent as mercury, the utmost caution and experience is nects, nary, and cannot safely be intrusted to inexperienced hands. The
Directors have much pleasure, therefore, in announcing that Mr
Brereton Todd, who is well known as a Metallurgist, and as the ori-
ginator and promoter of many valuable scientific inventions, will
take the superintendence of ,the works.
After a deliberate investigation into the meri's of Perkes' Patent,
the Committee have given a decided preference to• it, as being in
their opinion the most pertect inren*on, and well adapted t the
practical Purposes for which it is required.
For the security of the Managing Committee in the successful
cto arrying out of their intended operations, Mr. Perkes has consented
superintend the erection of the machines ITe alsceettgag-s that

Offices-26, Gresham• street, London.
This Company is formed for the purpose of effectually working
and developing the Esgair hir and Esgair fraith Lead and Copper
Mines, commonly known as the " Welsh Potosi," situated midway
between Aberystwith and liachynlleth, Cardiganshire, at a distance
of 9 miles from the shipping port of Aberdovey, at which vessels of
350 tons burthen can load alongside, and to which there is a good
road made a few years since, at a cost of at least 1,0001., enabling the
-Company to convey the ores to the port at a moderate cost.
The sett Is very extensive, and includes between 1,400 and 1,500
acres of mineral property.
The lodes, which are champions, a-e of very large dimensions, ex-
tending upwards of one mile in length.
The property is held for a term of years, under a lease grante
by Pryse Loveden. Esq., at a royalty of 1-14th, with a covenant for
renewal for a further term of 21 years at the same royalty.
These mines are some of the oldest on record, and have been par-
tally worked at various periods, but never properly developed to
any depth,
. Some idea may be formed of their value by a reference to a work
Panelled in the year 1698, by W. Waller, 1415 q., the then steward of
these mines, wherein it is stated "that th Great ',cad Vein is 11
feet wide, and 7 feet In pure ore, and which he had no doubt would
increase to 11 fit, tin ore as it descends - that 40 0001 was refused
• for one moiety ;" and with a sufficient capital he would be able to
bring in a clear profit from one of the veins of 70.000/. a-year. Ex-
. tracts from this work may be obtained at the Company's offices.
• There are two powerful water wheels, with extensive machinery
for draining the mines, raising, and crushing the ores ; also houses or
barracks for about 200 miners, with counting-house, smith's shop,
Powder, fuel, and storehouses, and cottages for engine-men have
been erected upon the property at a considerable outlay, and St for
linintediate use.
Five large reservoirs have been constructed at a convenient dis-
tance for working the maillinery and dressing the ores, thus ena-
bling the Company at once to carry on extensive mining operations.
The cost of sinking the shafts, di lying the levels, forming reservoirs,
coe•strEctingToads, erecting the buildings and ex ensive machinery.
Is estimated at having amounted to not less than 50,0 r OZ.. the full
and immediate benefit of which has. been secured for the Company.
The Directors have visited and tweeted the Mines, and had the
same carefully en amined and surveyed by engineers and practical
miners of considerable experience. •
Sam les of ore have been assayea by Messrs. Johnson and Sons,
and produced
Of Lead •.. 80 per cent.
Of Copper .... 16 65 per cent. of pure copper.
Each samule shows a trace of gold.
Advantarotts ern/wen:tents hay; been midifer the purchase of
the whole of this valuable property ; five-sixths of the purchase
money will be received Li paid-up shares of the Company, and the
remainder in cash.
It has been determined to establish this Company with so large a
capital from the peculiar nature of these mi es.
The Directors propose, however, in the first instance, to issue
5,000 shares only to the public; but should further capital be found
necessary for the development of the mines, the Shareholders will
have the preference in the issue of the shares.
Operations have been commenced, and it is expected very shortly
that the engine shafts will be pumped free from water and a con-
siderable quantity of ore raised.
Full Information, prospectuses, and plans of the mine, with coies
of the reports thereon, may be obtained,

spected, and orders for leave to view tsepmeciinmeesnfsuronfiredo,rueapplication to T. W. Wilkinson. Esq., the Managing Director, atptohne
