A LT-0 DOURO RAILWAY.
L 1 Capital, 6,000 Contos of Reis 0,350,0000, in 60,000 Shares of
100 Mil Reis (221. 10s.) each.
Deposit, 6 MU Reis (11. 75.) per Share.
This line will commenes near the city of Oporto, and continuing
through Lamego, will traverse the very heart of the great Wine dis-
trict of Portugal to Torre de Mencorro, within a few miles of the
Spanish frontier.
The manifest advantages of this tine render comment almost un-
necessary. Preliminary surveys have established the fact that there
are no engineering difficulties of Importance to overcome, and the
traffic of the country is even now so great, that no reasonable doubt
can exist as to the lucrative nature of this investment.
The improved state of affairs in the Peninsula will eventually ensure
the extension of this line to the ancient and populous city of Sala-
manca, and the very heart of Spain. It is difficult to estimate the
beneficial results of the completion of such a line. An Immense dis-
trict of the most fertile country in Europe will be broughf into imme-
diate contiguity with the sea-coast, and thence, by consequence, with
England and all the maritime nations of the world.
The Provisional Committee avail themselves of the earliest possible
opportunity to apprise the public that such legal measures will be
adopted, as must afford the Subscribers to this Compapy ample pro-
tection.
In consequence of the negotiation now pending, the Prospeetuses
are unavoidably delayed a few days.
