rHE DIRECTORS of the ASTURIAN
MINING COMPANY congratulate their Shareholders on
the now certain prospect of the FORMATION of the ROYAL
NORTH OF SPAIN RAILWAY. This line, as the Shareholders
are probably aware, passes through the principal mining concessions
of this Company, and will at once secure a clteap and ready access to
the seaport of Aviles for its coal and other mineral produce. The
establishment of this Railway will supersede the necessity of the
Tram Railway contemplated in the original Prospectus of the
Asturian Mining Company—the expense of which was estimated on
survey at 90,0001.
The Directors have further to announce, that the whole of the
Mares of the Conipany have been appropriated, and they have every
reason to hope that the funds at their disposal will he amply suthetent
to meet the currant demands, as well as the expenses of the Iron
Works now In progress of erection, without any additional call during
the present year, by which time the Iron Works will be in full and
larofitable operation.
The reports lately received on the Quicksilver and other Mines are
most gratifying, and may be seen at the office.
