ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The works selected, with the approval of Government,
for first operations, consist of—lrrigating and Navigable
canals throughout the rich and extensive Peltas of Orissa
Can Lower Bengal), and the Districts between those Deltas
NW the Port and City of Calcutta.
These works have been already investigated by Engineer
°fficers in the service of Government, of known ability and
exPerience, who have pronounced them to be amongst the
seed important, and in promise the most profitable of
their character in India ; in fact, the present Secretary of
'',.,tats for India in Council in March last addressed to the
Government of India an official communication, calling
attention to the importance of constructing these very
Works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were
prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and
estimates were approved by the Local Government. A
desire to see an unguaranteed company established, he
states, led to their concession to this company.
The main sources of profit will be :
Firstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the
Irrigation of land.
Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals
and Water-ways by the public.
To these may be added as available but subsidiary means
sf additional returns :-
I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the
Conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon.
2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories
established on the banks of the various channels.
S.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce
raised upon the land of the Company. And,
4.—The supply of water for general purposes.
Although these latter are now put forth as secondary
'WY, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of
them has been already ascertained to be highly productive
is India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals
fa the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived
from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per
tentage upon outlay.
, The following returns realised by the Government on ex-
g works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of
the highly remunerative character of such works, if selected
With ordinary judgment.
The works connected with the Coleroon River cost
444 700, and for sixteen years returned a net profit of cost
41,700,
cent. per annum.
The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the
Brat year. Another canal in Scinde paid 58 per cent. on its
test during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600,
Produced £5,000 in the first year.
The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and
Produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the eost of construc-
tion being £81,458.
The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent.
Per annum.
These are not exceptional instances.
Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged
with the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree-
ment, to be made with the Government of India at Calcutta.
It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in-
stance, to the sum of £1.000,000, divided into 50,000 shares
of £2O each, and to take a first deposit ofshare
only, with a further payment of £1 per share wper shen
usal agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed,
office to support effective operations for the first twelve
Inouths. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice
VII be given to each shareholder.
A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may
WOW be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can-
60ra-street, E.C. London ; or at the Company's Bankers,

This Company is registered under the Joint Stock Com-
panies' Act, for the purchase ani working of the property, in
the county of Caermarthen, known as the Lion Colliery, em-
bracing an area of about 420 acres, the whole held under a
lease for forty years from 1850, at the moderate royalties of
9d. and 6d. per ton respectively for Coal, 10d. per ton for Iron,
and 6d. per ton for Fire Clay.
The quality of the coal is sufficiently established by the
reports and analysis of Mr. Petherick, Mr. Bateman, Dr.
Normandy, and Mr. Dugald Campbell, which prove it to be
first-elsss. The statements of these gentlemen are equal,
satisfactory and conclusive as to the quantity ; the produce
of saleable large coal being estimated at 3,704 tons
.per acre.
Messrs. Woodhouse and Jeflcock, of Dgby, have inspected
the property on the part of the Directors, and made a special

repOrt. -
The present yield of Coal is about 80 tons per diem, at a
Cost, free on board at Llanelly, of 65.: while the market price
18 95. 6d. per ton, leaving thus a profit in the actual working
fears. 6d. per ton, besides about 10 tons of Iron Ore, worth
10s. per ton. Calculating a production of 300 tons
Per diem, with 30 tons of Iron, the present price would
afford a clear profit, after all possible contingencies, of 25
per cent. on the paid-up capital of £25,000. It is undoubted
that the recent Commercial Treaty with France must create
a greatly increased demand for Coal and Iron, while it will
materially inhance the value of first-class steam coal, like
that in this Company's property.
The Iron Ore will produce about 2,116,800 tons. The pro-
perty is situate in the Vale of Cwm Amman, about 15 miles
from the Port of Llanelly, and is provided with floating docks,
capable of accommodating vessels of 1,000 tons burden.
In the event of the Company not being duly constituted,
the deposit will be returned without any deduetion.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Bankers or
Brokers, with a deposit of ss. on each Share applied fcatioor.
