James Maconochie , Esq . | William Godfrey Huet , Esq . Secretary ( ad interim)—Mr . George Frederick Goodman . This Company being now completely registered , the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects . It may be confidently asserted that no company was ever brought before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful results . The prompt assistance afforded by the shareholders to the directors , and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them , have enabled the directors to take such steps as must insure an enormous dividend within a few months . Sir Henry Huntley , the resident director in California , has been in that country five months ; and the course adopted by the directors for carrying out this enterprise , results from the experience obtained by him during that period . The instructions given to Sir Henry Huntley were , in effect , that he should nuke every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country , the tenure of land , the comparative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California , and after mature deliberation to advise the directors as to their best course of proceeding , and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible . Following these instructions , he has secured for the benefit of the Company sufficient land for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly of opinion that , for the present , atleast . it is notdesirableto undertake miningoperations . butto crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessed of mines , and have raised the quartz . With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience in geology and mining matters , he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa , Nevada , Grass Valley , and other districts , anJ has come to the conclusion , upon sound reasons , that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City is that which affords the greatest advantages for carrying on our enterprise . He has , therefore , entered into an agreement with some American gentlemen , who have formed a Company , and have opened , and to a considerable extent worked , a vein of quartz , distant about three milei from Grass Valley and Nevada City , to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by them . By means of machinery , he has already crushed and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz supplied him from this mine ; and the result of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness , and that the locality offers many important advantages in the way of water , fuel , means of transit , &c , &c . He has , therefore , entered into a formal agreement with that Company , which , in a few words , amounts to this : he is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing ; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense , and the gold produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company . Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arrangement fairly and honestly , and without any copartnership , have been entered into . Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day , with funds sufficient for putting it in motion , have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley ; and , unless some unexpected del-iy lias arisen , the machinery is now actually at work , and a return will be made about Christmas next . For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company , and without wishing in any manner to deteriorate from the merits of other companies , the directors are desirous of culling attention to some of the more prominent advantages posneesed by this Company over others now in the field . Shareholder in other companies must rely mainly upon reports Kent over by persons interested in Helling the mine : we rely upon the reportn of our own refiident director and his practical assistants on the spot , whose only interest is to give u » facto . The directors of other companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon cumulations founded on experiment )* upon u few pieces of s-p » cimen quartz , fient over to thin country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for Hale to the Hrilmh public . We found our calculations upon experiment * tried , during several weeks , on quartz raiMcd from the mine , and crushed and amalgamated by our own Hiiperintendent , and with our own machinery and apparntiiK . Other companies inuBt incur the expeimeuiid ¦ ink of carry ing out mining operations upon their vein , before the quartz arrivcu at their mill , mid , should their labours prove fucceHsful , they inuHt then pay nut of their protitH large per centageu for obtaining their leaned , and large rojiiltieH to their lessors ; whereas we Imve seemed iih much quartz an our machinery is rapalile of criiHliing , the title to whieh ia uh Hec . ure u » that of any other company , unlettered by any per eentage or royally . The hall of the product ) to he paid by thin Company to the particn who tmpply ua , free of expenue , with the quunz , being , in fiic . t . merely equivalent to the dividend upon tlio out'iiy of capital expended in raising the quail / ., and lodging it at . the mill . All the new conip . ti . ieH 7 unlike thin , iniiBl be a considerable time before their arrangeiiientn and machinery can bcieudy for carrying out their Hchemes thin Company alone is actually ut , work . The paid up c . npital ol the Company will not . exceed A' 20 , 000 . An almiiHt certain estimate of the produce of our niicliiiiery can | ie formed , and , from the calculation *! made , | he dire < tom confidently anticipate being aide , even lit the most moderate rHtnnUe , to afford a dividend of L'OO per cent ., at the leant , within the next , twelve month : * .
