This Company is formed for purchasing and working
the celebrated Almada Mines situated in the important
mining district of Alamos, in the State of Sonora, one
of the richest districts for Silver in Mexico, about seventy
miles from the seaport town of Ajiavampo, on the Pacific
Coast.

The property consists of the Mines " Compania, Mina
Grande, and Providencia," all on the same lode, and
20,000 acres of grazing and arablo land, timber for fuel, a
reduction-yard, and a very substantial residence and store-
house.

This property was recommended for purchase by Mr.
John Petherick, F.G.S., and Mr. J. P. Clemes, M.E., the
well-known wining engineers, after personallyinspecting
it, as possessing more commercial advantages than any
other of the numerous mines they had carefully examined,
in this and the neighbouring districts.
Tho conclusions arrived at by Messrs. Petherick and
Clemes have been confirmed by subsequent workings in
these and the adjoining mines. The lode which exists in
the bottom levels of the "Mina Grande" has been cut in
the adjoining mine about 70 yards distant from the boun-
dary of the "Providencia" Mine, and is reported, on re-
liable authority, to be of the width of 40 feet, which is
about the same as that of the " Mina Grande" lode.

It is estimated that the annual profit from working the
Providencia and Mina Grande Mines, after development,
from a yield of 5,000 tons of ore, will be from 20 to 25 per
cent. on the capital of the Company, and it is probable
that larger returns may be realised within a reasonable
period aftter the opening of the Mines. The retorted
reduction of duties by the Mexican Government on Silver,
since the date of the original Report, will materially im-
prove the estimated profits of these Mines.
These estimated profits are based on the small quantity
of 5,000 tons of ore per annum, from a lode 40 feet wide.
But from such lode the production of 40 tons per diem,
or 12,000 tons rer annum, would be only a moderate re-
turn, and it is therefore fair to assume that the profits may
be considerably in excess of the above estimates.

There is a good waggon road all the way from the foot
of the Mines to the coast.

The neighbourhood is populous, fertile, and very
healthy.
Ordinary mining labour is abundant at about two shil-
lings per day.
Mr. Petherick's Reports, and subsequent Verifications
and Letters, Form of Memorandum. and Articles of Asso-
ciation, and above named Original Agreements may be
seen on application at the Offices of the Company.
Full Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be ob-
tained at the offices of the Company, of the Brokers, and
of the Bankers.

videncia. Produces sixty dollar ore, enough for 30
stamps.' "
MEMORANDUM....The above would be about 30 tons per

sterling.
