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 prospect of speedy 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 month,, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carr tug out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him during that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured far the benefit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes; but he is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
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
experience 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. He has, therefore, entered into an agree-
ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a eonsiderable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di,tant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada
City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to 'crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by
them. By means of machinery, he has already cru bed
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup-
plied him from this mine; and the r. suit of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, thre-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that ComPany,hem with which,e in
a few words, amounts to this : he is to be supplied by tas
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
ha 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 and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying cut the above arrangement fairly arid honestly, and
without any copartnership, have been entered into.
of Steamrt-enz agidaynes
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons qua,
with fends sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made about 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 are desirous of calling attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed,
by this Com-
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
in
must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons d
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistant. 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
r
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies prOPose
incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations
!yen their vein, before 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 larger oyals
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz a
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to whic rise as secure
as re
at that of any other company, unfettered by any p-ta
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 considerable 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
almt,st certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations matte, the Directors confidently
anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of '2OO 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 42. per pound, or 1/.
17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. Gs. Sd. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461.
13e. 42., or 3731. Gs. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company.
By the 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.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake milling operations
of their own, arrangements have teen made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their
services.
The gentlemen whe 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 men to the
fished
an 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 General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened fur the middle of January. •
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer the
veir
recesi betved , thanks to the
Shareholders for the uniform support they ha and they
pledge themselves tbat the affairs of this Comeany shall be con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for-
, warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
! to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of
leases and 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 raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, h d
a be
control
nontrol
long
known to and was maturely considered by those having t
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to 'ensue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resultsof the prudence
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve
of the course they have adopted.
Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the

THE DETERMINED ATTACK ON LOUIS
NAPOLEON.—Thcre is no question but that a crisis is now
near at hand, and that one of three important parties will 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 failed ; but the last and 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 best opportunity in the world presents itself, for
the unique stock of Messrs. Ern and SON is more novel,
more extensive, and more eleg than at any former season. Each
morning their extensive warehouses are crammed with new and
elegant costume, however reduced the 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
the Minories, or their magnificently fitted-up West-end Branch
Establishment in New Oxford-street, corner of Liart-street, for
nothing but seeing will give anybody an idea of the elegance,
quality, style, durability, and cheapness of every article they make.
