figures of smaller dimensions were
found The most of them date from the

thus these most ancient recovered mon

its tributary rivers. A new charter gave
it the exclusive right to trade in nearly

The company also leased a large part

company in 1888 was about 81, 600, 600,

fifty stockholders.
The stock has been sold for 400 per
