The mining property which it is the object of the present
Company to acquire and work is situated in the provinces of/
Thessaly and Epirus, and a portion of it in Macedonia, known
in the country as the Sanjak of Janina, Trikala, and Volos ;
it embraces a superficial area of great extent, and many
rang-es of mountains rich in mineral deposits. Amongst
those ranges are comprised Mount Pindus, Mount Othris,
Mount Pelion. Mount Ossa, and Mount Olympus, which are
elongations of the well-known metalliferous chain of moun-
tains passing through Illyria and Carniola, in Austria.
the Sultan of Turkey, in the year 1856, granted a
Concession for mining on the above property during a period
of 31 years from that date, subject to an annual rent 0( 70,080
piastres (about £650 sterling), in lieu of all royalties, payable
on theist day of January in each year. The concession com-
prises the exclusive right of mining in the above districts,
and an:'exemption from the payment of customs duties on all
Minerals produced from the mines.
The district possesses unusual advantages for the export
Of minerals, having a great extent of seaboard both in the
Adriatic Sea and in the Grecian Archipelago. The boundary
in the Adriatic Sea comprises a length of 200 miles of the sea
coast from the Gulf of Arta, northwards, passing opposite to
Corfu, and on towards the harbour of Duratzo in Albania,
north of Avlona. The boundary in the Grecian Archipelago
embraces about 100 miles of sea coast from the Gulf of Volo
to Katharine, in the Gulf of Salonica.
The concession was originally granted to Ized Pacha, and
has finally become the property of Mr. George Zarifi, of the
well-known Constantinople house. This gentleman has con-
tinued the operations commenced by Ized Pacha and his
former associates in one portion of the property—viz., at the
foot of and on the eastern slopes of Mount Felon, in which
numerous veins of argentiferous and auriferous lead have been
laid open. Large works for smelting, the ores from these
veins have been erected there, about three-quarters of a mile
from the sea coast. They are described by Mr. William B.
Bray, C.E., in his able report (copiek of which maybe obtained
at the Company's offices, or of the brokers) as very extensive
in character, substantial in construction, and capable of treat;
ing a large quantity of ore.
The smelting establishment consists of 14 furnaces, of dif-
ferent sorts, besides a complete set of desilverising pans,
according to Pattinson's process. There are six ore and slag
hearths, three roasting furnaces, two cupelling furnaces, and
a reducing furnace. '''il ere is a water wheel of 40-horsepower,
but this power can be more than quadrupled. There are sets
of stampers lear crushing ores, as well as extensive apparatus
for was and dressing them.
There are workshops, smitheries, saw-mills,W., and exten-
sive magazines for charcoal. Wood can be delivered at the
works from the adjacent extensive forests at a low cost, and
miry be had in unlimited quantities.
The establishment at " Pelion Works " is capable of' smelt-
ing from nine to ten tons of mixed metal daily, and of
separating the silver and gold from the lead. There are
generally from 60 to 80, and sometimes as much as 150 ounces
of silver, and from six to eight dwts. of gold, in a ton of
metal, and its average worth for gold, silver, and leedis from
£2B to £3O per ton.
The ores of Galena yielded bpercent. ines are very rich ;
some of them give as much as 82 of metal, and the
average is from 30 to 40 per cent. The mineral veins vary in
breadth from 2 to 10 feet, and yield on an average about 35
per cent of mixed metal, consisting of lead, silver, and gold.
The gold and silver are refined at the works, and the lead is
of the softest and best quality.
The Directors have entered into a provisional arrangement Tor the purchase from Mr. Zarifi of the abovementioned con-
cession, together with the smelting works, furnaces, plant,
machinery, minerals, and other property belonging to the
mines. Mr. Zarin, wishing to retain a large interest in the
undertaking, has agreed ro accept payment for the property
as follows, viz.:—£30,000 in fully
paid-up shares at par, and
£20,000 in cash,
According to the report of Mr. Bray, already alluded to,
confirmed by Captain Hoskins, the Pelion mines are now
working at a profit, and only require the judicious appli-
cation of additional capital to render them highly remune-
rative.

Labour can be obtained in the neighbourhood of the mines
ul•on economical terms, and a ready market is found in Turkey
for all lead raised from the property, the price at Constanti-
nople being higher than in London.
Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form
to the Directors, at the Offices of the Company, No. 85, Gres-
ham Uouse, Old Brood-street; or to Messrs. Field, Son, and
Wcr.id, 9, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, London.
'leach application for shares must be accompanied by a pay-
anent to the Bankers of the Company of 10s. per share on the
slumber of shares applied for. If no allotment be made the
deposit will be returned in full.
