SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prosp:ct of spseay and successful
results.
The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been
in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carts) tug out this enterprisejesults from the experience obtained
by him daring-tbat period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in efbet, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merit of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proccedieg, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of tile
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but be is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to mater-
take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great
exper,euce In geology and mining matters, he has inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car-
rying on our enterprise. Ile has, therefore, entered into an agree-
ment with some At erican gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass. Valley and Nevada
City, and about thirty mattes from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the
already cru
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup-
plied him from this mine; and the is saA of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oflers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in
a few words, amounts to this : he is to be supplied by them with as
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and
the g Id produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein acid our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arransement . fairly and honestly, and
without any coparonership, have been entered into. Stearn-engines
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tone of quartz a day,
with funds sufficient for putting it in moti on, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpec
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made aoout Christmas next.
For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors ale desirous of calling attentionom-
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by tlds C
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely upsia reports sent over by persons interested in
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the value of
their mine upon calculations founded on experiments
upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations
upon their vein, b: fore the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their
profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz es
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
re
as that of any other company, unfettered by any percentage
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact
merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the
new companies, unlike this, must be a consi lerable time before
their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An
aim st certain estimate of the produce of oar machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve
months. -according to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/.
B's. 41. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crusts and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diens, that would airOatit to 7461.
13s. 4.1., or 373/. Gs. 83. per diem as the share of this Company.
Bythe peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based
upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must
necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling.
Li case circumstances should Macs the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operatipns
of their own, arrangements have I een male securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility fur mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered hint their
services.
The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such linen to the
Dire .tory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special Genfral Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened fir the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors' beg st
to offer their
rec be thanandks to the
Shareholders for the uniform support they have eived, they
pledge themselves that the affairs of this ComaanySole shall bo
of for-
con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the view
warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholderspany, it particularly
to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Com can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of
leases :idol Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising; out of the many points
now rased relative to the tenure of land under leashavi ng es, had been
control
long
known to and was maturely considered by those the
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resulvtesof the prudence
The Directors trust that Shareholders will app
ro
of the course they have adopted.

THE DETERMINED ATTACK ON LOUIS
NAPOLEON.—There is no question but that a crisis is now
near at hand, and that one of three important parties shortly be
settled as dominant in France—the Red Republicans, the Legitima-
tists, or the friends of the present Government. The attacks made
in the Assembly on the Government of Louis Napoleon have been all
but successful, and yet have signally fated ; but the last ar.d worst
attack was when the majority sought, by a Bill which has been
sleeping nearly two years, to enpower the Assembly to impeach the
President, the Ministry, and whoever else should favour the re-
election of Louis Napoleon. While, however, the French people are
at loggerheads about clothing the Assembly or the Government with
power, we on this side of the Channel are thinking about clothing
ourselves ; and the bot opportunity- 141 the world presents itself, for
the unique stock of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON is more novel,
more extensive, and more elegant than at any former season. Each
morning their extensive warehouses are crammed with new and
elegant costume, however reduced th, quantity may be by night.
Their Winter Clothing supasses everything* of the kind to be found in
Europe, and Messrs. E. MOSES and SON are only anxious that the
public may visit their display at the Monarch Mart In Aldgate and
