The Mines of this Company are situated in the Parish of Saint
Stephen's, Branwell, In Cornwall, on the border of the Parish of
Saint Denis, and are held at 1-15 dues for a term of Twenty-one
Years.
They comprise some of the most extensive and promising setts in
Cornwall, and are known to contain at least Eight Tin Lodes, which
have been partially worked, and found to be very productive. Some
of the Lodes are from four to six feet wide. Nos. 1 and 2 Lodes,
as may be seen by the Map, are between two and three feet in width,
and the other Lodes are from 18 to 24 inches wide, containing ex-
cellent tin stuff.

The Reports of the Surveyors and Mining Agents arc highly en-
coura4ing, and fully warrant the belief that, by means of a moderate
outlay, under judicious superintendence, the Minas will forthwith
realise a liberal profit for the Shareholders.
The regulations of the Company provide for the due Registration
and Transfer of the Shares, and that Twenty-one days' notice shall
be given of every Call thereupon. No Call to exceed Five Shillings
per Share, but it is believed no Call beyond the deposit will have to
be made.

which a full report of the Company's affairs will be submitted by the
Directors.

The liability of the Shareholders is limited to the number and
