This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing, continu- ing, and further developing the valuable and well-known extensive Iron Works and Collieries known as the Old Park Iron Works," Wellington, Shropshire, now in active operation. The property is situate in immediate contiguity to the famous Coalbrookdale and Lilleshall Iron Works; and with the view of ensuring a direct supply of Hematite Ore, the Company will com- bine with the Old Park Iron Works the Wenvoe Hematite Iron Ore Property, near Cardiff, Glamorganshire. TUB MINKRAL AND SURFACE RIOHTj OF THE OLD PARK PROPHRTY, embrace an area of about 1,280 acres. The Minerals comprise- COAL 13 seams of Coal, varying from li feet to 6 feet ill thick- ness. IROKSTONB Four beds of rich Clayband Ironstone. FIIUI- CLAY of excellent quality, existing in large deposits; and also quarries of good Building Stene. QUANTITY OP MINERALS.—Mr. Marcus Scott, the eminent Jdini8¡r Engineer, who has for the last thirty years had the duty of sur- veying and mapping all the un ierground works of this property, states in his Official Return made in 1867 for the Royal Coal Commission," the total quantity of Coal then remaining in the seams, hitherto worked, to be ten millions two hundred and seventy thousand statute tons, exclusive of the Coal in the other stains, which it is considered may be workable hereafter; giving a total quantity of upwards of 15,000,000 tons of Coal. A return by Mr. Scott states that the quantity of workable Ironstone to March last to be one million seven hundred thousand tons, and of Coal, to the same date, 9,732,936 tons The Royalties on the Coal are based on the low rate prevailing fifteen years since, the average Royalty not exceeding 7d. per ton. The Ironstone and Fireclay Royalties are also moderate. THic COLLIERY ANDIIINIC WORKS comprise 21 Pit Shafts in work for raising Iron Ore and Coal, besides ether shafts which will be made available on the completion of machinery now in course of erection. TH. COAL is in large demand for household nse and steam pur- poses, nearly the entire supply for the town of Wellington, and great part of the supply for Shrewsbury, and other to Niis, being obtained from the Old Park Collieries. Beiieficial contracts have also been made for the sale of Coal in the London market. THE BLAST FURNACE WORKS comprise two Blast Furnaces now in operation. A third Blast Furnace has recently been in great part rebuilt and entirely re-lined, and fitted will all modern ap- pliances, and is now ready to be put in blast. The retaining walls ar.d other important works about the furnaces have also at great cost, been entirely reconstructed within the last six months. Whe-i the third Furnace is in Blast, and the iniprovomfints now in acti-ro pro,™ v».> «re uouipietea, the inree Furnfteeil will be capable of turning out upwards of 20,000 tons of Pig Iron annually. THE QUALITY OF PIG IRON produced from Old Park Works, both for Forge and Foundry purposes, stands in very high repute. It is at present commanding throughout England and Wales nearly the highest rates ot any on the market; and valuable contracts have been made for delivery during the current year, at full prices. The Property, which is held on lease for a period extending to the year 1004, is well supplied with Reservoiis, Ponds and Surface, and Underground Railroads. A Private Branch Railway, upwards ef one mile In length, 4 feet 8 £ -inch guage, and worked by Locomotive Engines, at present brings the Minerals from the Pits. Trim PLUiT AND MACHINERY is described in the Report of Hr. S. Danks, the present Manager, accompany this Prospectus, by whom a minute Inventory and Valuation has been made. The MINERAL RIGHTS OF TUB WKNVOK HEMATITE PROPERTY extend under about 70 acres, and are held for a term of which 31 years are unexpired at a moderate Royalty. Exploring rights over about 150 acres of additional land adjoining have recently been secured. From the Wenvoe Property there has been hitherto worked about 30,000 tons of Ore of excellent quality, and wlier the addi- tional appliances now in progress for raising Ore from these Works are completed, it is computed by Mr. Brooke Ridgway Smith, Mining Engineer, who has carefully surveyed and mapped the same, that 100 toi s of Hematite can be raised daily. The supply of Hematite for Old Park Furnaces has hitherto been principally obtained from Somerset and Cornwall at great cost and inconvenience, which it is believed will be materially re- duced by the Company possessing its own source of supply of Hematite Ore. The SURFACE OF TUB OLD PARK ESTATE extends in the whole over 1,280 acres, and comprises tho Mansion known as Malinslee Hall, and land in hand; Stirchley Hall and two other large Farms, and nearly the entire Village of Stirchley. The Farms are let, and under cultivation, and the mmual value of the Mansion, Farms, Cottages, and Land exceed the Surface Rental. Oil the Estate, and included in the property leased, are School- house, Colliery and Furnace Managers' Residences, commodious Offices, and upwards of 2u0 Cottages. There is also a Workmen's Institute let to the Company at a small annual rental. In addi- tion to the above there are upwards of 250 Cottages adjacent, not included in the lease, the whole giving ample accommodation for Miners and Workmen. FOR RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION TUB PROPKRTY IS UNRIVALLED The Lendon and North Western Railway (Hadley and Coalport Branch), intersects the property through a distance of 2t miles. Two passenger Stations, the "Malinslee" and the "Stirchley" Stations are on the Estate. The main line of the Great Western Railway from London to Shrewsbury and the North skirts the estate at the north-eastern boundary, from whence the clolings- wood Junction Branch is constructed direct to Old Park Furnaces. A private branch of the electric telegraph has been recently laid on from the public station at Dawley into the offices of the Works. The Company acquires the Old Park property and works, mineral and surface rights, railroads, rolling stock, plant and machinery, together with the brand and goodwill, and the valu- iron and coal contracts now running, and also the Wenvoe hematite iron ore property, and the machi- nery and plant thereat, and takes over the busi- ness as from the 12th July, 1873, at the price of A:124,000, in which is included then entire expense of the formation and establishment of the Company to the date of the first allotment of shares. The vendor is willing that A:40,000 of the purchase money should remain as adeferred payment for five years, bearing interest at 6 per cellt. per alitiuiii; the balance, 484,000, being payable in cash. This leaves out of the a 120,000 now offered for subscription the sum of £3(),OOÛ for working capital, and for the purchase of the iron, coal, ores, limestone, horses, stores in stock, which are to ba paid for at a valuation. The estimated amount of the profits from the working of the collieries, blast furnaces, and brick works, as mentioned by Mr. Danks, Consulting Engineer, in his accompanying report, is as follows:- 70,000 tons of Coal per annum for sale, in addition to that required for carrying on the Works, to be raised and sold at a profit of 4s. Od. per ton £15,750 20,OOU tons of Pig Iron per annum, at a profit of 10s. per toii 10,000 Bricks sold in addition to those required for the use of Works and Estate 500 Total estimated profits per annum. £26,250 After deducting cost of management, interest, &c., the net estimated profits which would be available for dividend 011 the Share Capital on the above basis would be about lr per cent. per annum. It may be desirable to mention that the above estimate is based upon prices much below those at present ruling. Looking at the position in which the Old Park Works are placed, in regard to Railway Communication, the extensive area of Mine under 1cork, the deservedly high repute in which the Pig Iron is held in the trade, and the moderate amount of capital upon which dividends have to be paid, the Directors feel assured that in placing this undertaking before thepublic for subscription they are offering one that will prove most satisfactory and highly remunerative to the shareholders. A Contract has been entered into between Edward Henry Thomasof the one part, and Francis Thomas New on behalf of the Company of the other part, dated the 9th of July, 1873. Copies of such Contract, the .Reports, enlarged Plans and Section of the Minerals, the Inventory and Valuation, Leases, and the Articles of Association, may be inspected at the Offices of the Soli- tors, Messrs.

OF PICES. 17, CORNHILL, LONDON, E.C. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The company has been formed with the principal object of pur- chasing and developing the well-known mining property of Rio- Tinto, in the South of Spain, containing the richest and most im- portant of all the great mineral deposits which extend from Seville to beyomd Ike mines of Santo Domingo in Portugal. The property is trochoid in perpetuity, and contains 4,710 English acres in one connected tfact, embracing nearly the wholo of the town of Rio Tinto. The celebrated Tharsis Mine is situated on the same mineral range. The distinctive foature of this undertaking, and in which it differs from almost all other mining adventures, is the undoubted fact that the enormous deposits of ore known and actually proved to exist in the min- fully secure their future against the usual risks attendant upon mining operations in general. It is merely a question of the demand and the cost of working. The directors believe the first to be fully sufficient to insure a sale at good prices, and that the second can, by judicious management, be kept down to a point which will ensure a large return upon the capital employed. A personal inspection of the property on behalf of the company has been made by David Forbes, Esq,, F.R.S., who has submitted an exhaustive report on its condition, and a plan for working the mines which the directors have adopted. He estimates that the small portion on which the company has commenced its works will yield, between the surface and the depth at which it is Vro- posed to construct a horizontal outlet, no less than 11,700,000 tons of ore. The company has abandoned the old imperfect method of mining, and has adopted the system of open cast" working or quarry- ing, which is now proceeding satisfactorily. In order to provide sufficient and economical means of trans- port, a railway is to be constructed by THE company to connect the mines with the seaport of iluelv*. a distance of about fifty miles. It will give access to the lodtJ at a depth of 85 metres (93 yards) below the surface of the mineral, or 20 metres lower than any of the present workings. This will provide not only for com- plete drainage, but also for the extraction and removal of the ore without any lifting power, an exceptional advantage derived from the natural formation of the ground, and of the highest import- ance in dealing with such large quantities. Mr. Forbes estimates that on the completion of the railway, the company will be enabled to quarry and deliver in the English, Continental, and other markets 500,000 tons of ore per annum. He reports that the Rio Tinto ore contains on an avprage 48 per cent. of sulphur, and 2! to 3 per cent, oi copper, and can be de- livered in England at a cost of £1 7s per ton. Putting its sell- ing price at 43 311 3d per ton, Yo hich may be taken as the average value of such ORES^ based_on TLIEIRO sujph UR^ ARYL^ "pre- sent market value, a net profit 1Iill.e realised of ZI 168 3d on each ton of oro exported from the mines. The directors, however, have thought it well to put forward a still more moderate estimate of value, based upon sulphur at 7 id per unit, and copper at lis (Id., which will yield a profit of £111s per ton. Before the opening of the railway, the only profit will be from the manufacture of copper by the cementation process. This was estimated by Mr. Forbes to yield £10,000 per annum, but from improvements in the mode of dealing with the minerals this amount will, in all probability, be considerably increased. The net revenue of the company, when the railway is completed, would, according to the preceding calculations, be From exportation of pyrites ore, 500,000 tons, at a profit of ki £775,OtO From manufacture of copper, at the lowest estimate.. 60,000 L=,000 The property was purchased from the Spanish Government by a combination of capitalists, among whom were some of the direc- tors of the present company, and the purchase was sanctioned and confirmed by a law of the National Assembly of Spain, on the 17th of February, 1873 (which also authorised a concession for the construction of the railway), for the price of 02,800,000 pesetas, payable in ten yearly instalments, together with 1,196,912 pesetas for the yaluations of the plant, buildings, stock of minerals, &c., equal in all to about zCS,850,000, imore or less, according to the variations in the rate of exchange. The original purchasers have entered into an agreement witk the company to transfer to it the entire benefit of this purchase, and to bear all the expenses of forming and issuing the company up to the date of allotment (other than the company's expenses of taking possession aud managing the mines and obtaining the conveyance thereof), for £150,000 in cash, with interest at 6 per cent. per annum from the date of public issue of the company, and 4600,000 in debentures of the company at par, bearing inte- rest at 8 per cent. per annum from the same date, and with an accumulative sinking fund of 2 per cent, per anuum, commencing four years later. A contract has been entered into with Messrs. Edwin Clark, Punchard, and Co., for the construction of the railway and pier, including a tunnel to the face of the ore, and the necessary amount of rolling stock, for a sum not exceeding E775,000, under which contract the whole of the works are to be completed in two years from their commencement. The directors estimate that the sum of 42,737,000 will be required for capital expenditure during thE first three years. It is intended to raise this amount by the issue of the P,2,000,000 of shares now offered, and the remainder by debentures. When the works are in full operation and the railway com- pleted, the annual revenue of CS35,000, as above estimated, would be sufficient to meet the necessary annual outlays, and to pay a dividend of 18 per cent. to the shareholders, even if the whole of the subsequent instalments due to Government were paid out of revenue. The company, however, may, if thought ex- pedient, provide the funds for meeting these instalments in whole or in part by the further issue of debentures. After all the in- stalments are paid, the calculations promise, at the moderate prices assumed in this prospectus, a dividend of fully 35 per cent. on the share capital. The Tharsis Sulphur and Copper Mines, which lie on the same line of mineral deposit, about thirty miles to the west, are an illustration of the richness and profitableness of similar lodes when effectively worked. THE dividend declared by the Tharsis Company for last year was 40 per cent, upon its capital, notwith- standing that it is burdened with a royalty of 4s 3d per ton of ore exported, and 2s 3d on ore .vorki d at the mine, from which this company is free. If such a royalty existed upon the contem- plated production of Rio Tinto, it would represent interest at 5 percent, per annum on a capital of two and a half millions ster- ling. The £10 shares of the Tharsis Company are at present quoted at above £40. It is proposed to pay interest at 6 per cent, per annum during censtruction on the amount from time to time paid up on the shares. Applications must be made in the annexed form, accompanied with a deposit of £1 per share applied for, and lodged with any of the following bankers, viz., Messrs. smith, Payne, and Smiths, London. Messrs. Arthur Haywood, Sons, & Co., Liverpool. The Union Bank of Scotland, Glasgow, and Branches. Prospectuses and forms of application can be obtained at the company's office, or of Messrs.

Payments in anticipation of the unpaid instalment may be made at any time under discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The Directors of the Illinois Central Railroad Company being impressed with the necessity of extending thci- system from Cairo, and opening direct through railway communication with New Orleans, have entered into a tripartite working agreement, upon a mileage division of receipts, with the New Orleans, Jack- son and Great Northern and the Mississippi Central Railroad Com- panies connecting New Orleans with Cairo, on the completion of 106 miles of road now being made, and to bo opened for traffic this autumn. This system will afford railway communication of ltS50 miles unbroken, save at the ferry across the Ohio at Cairo, from Iowa, Chicago and St. Louis to New Orleans, over the Illinois Central and the two lines above-mentioned. In the agreement between the three Companies, the two Southern Companies undertake to put their respective lines in complete repair, with the increase of rolling stock, station accom- modation, &c. required for the new traffic and its more rapid travelling- over their roads, and to build and equip the above line of 100 miles from Jackson to Cairo. The New Orleans and Jackson Company and the Mississippi Central Company have created a consolidated mortgage of 8,000,000 dols. respectively on each of their undertakings, or 16,000,000 dols. in ail. The former company deposits with the United States Trust Company in New York 4,600,000 dols., and the latter company 5,000,000 dols. said consolidated mort- gage Bonds (Nos. 1 to 4500 and 1 to 5000 of 1000 dols. each) to be used only in exchange for a like amount of the mortgage Bonds of each company already issued, or in payment thereof as they mature. With the exception of 1,000,000 dols payable in four deferred instalments from November, 1873, to November, 18S4, the existing Bonds under previous mortgages are not due and payable until after January, 1884. The 9.500,000 dols. bonds of these consolidated mortgages to set apart are deemed sufficient to provide for the entire mortgage debts of the two companies previously issued, and axe to be held in trust for such purpose only. Of the balance of these consolidated mortgages, 3,000,000 dols. of each Company, being the Bonds now offered, are mutually guaranteed, the one by the other, until the necessary legislative authority has been obtained for amalgamation, and are numbered as follows 3,000,000 dols. of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern, numbers 5.001 to 8,000, both inclusive. 8,000,000 dols. of the Msssissippi Central, numbers 5,001 to 8,0\10, both inclusive. 'Ihe Bonds so numbered shall alone bear the engagement, re- ferred to below, of the Illinois Compmy. The bonds are to bearer and of 1,000 dols. each, with interest in gold at 7 per cent, paya- ble half-yearly (those of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern on the 1st January and 1st July, those of the Mississippi Central 1st May and 1st November of each year) free of all United States Taxes the former Bonds fall due and are paya- ble on 1st January, 1912, the latter on the 1st May, 1912, both in gold. The mortgages under which the Bonds have been created cover in each Company respectively the franchises, the existing lines, the rolling-stock, and all real and moveable properties, now owned or hereafter to be acquired, including valuable Levee property at New Orleans and the 106 miles in process of construc- tion while principal and interest of the Bonds are further secured by the engagement already mentioned for mutual guarantee fcy otièhany, pelllln, .1' The iiiii lots Company, in consideration of the advantages to be derived from the tripaitite working agreement, has pursuant to resolution of their Board of Directors, of date of 4th of June, 1873, agreed with the holders of the Bonds now offered, that it will, on the 1st November next and annually thereafter for 30 years, purchase 100 Bonds of each of the above issues, if tendered to it at a price not exceeding par in currency. From each Bond so purchased by the Illinois Company, the memorandum identifying the same as being subject to the agreement will be detached and destroyed, so that the Bonds purchased by the Illinois Company cannot, under any circumstances, be again placed on the market for purchase as part of the 6,000,000 dols. now offered, to which alone this agreement applies. The conjoined mileage of the two southern Companies is at pre- sent 441 miles (to be increased to 547 miles on the opening of the Jackson and Cairo new mileage). During the last three years, and subsequent to the issu.ng of the original mortgage debts of 9,500,000dols., the two companies have expended 6,625,009 dols. on the increased plant and equipments of their roads, and in the acquirement of valuable water frontage property in New Orleans there have been in addition 150 miles of track re-laid and 39 miles of line double-tracked. Stone and iron bridges have been generally substituted for inferior structures, machine shops, buildings, and machinery provided, and the rolling stock raised to 108 engines and 1,600 cars. The increase of traffic consequent on this expenditure has been satisfactory, raising the revenue of the 441 miles 111 operation to upwards of 7,000 dols. per mile per annum. The net traffic in 1871 wu6 1,254,273 dols. Ditto ditto 187was.1,97,17S Which satisfies the interest on the existing mortgages] of 9,600,000 dols. and leaves a surplus net revenue from the present local traffic, more than sufficient to pay the interest on the addi- tional debt, without the revenue to be derived from the exten- sion connecting the line with the Railway system of the Northern States. In default of payment of the balance, the allotment and all pay- ments will be liable to forfeiture, scrip Certificates to Bearer will be issued in exchange for allotment letters, and these will be exchanged for definite Bonds as soon as possible after the issue price ig paid. Applieations, upon the enclosed form, may be made and sub- scriptions received at the offices of the Illinois Central Railroad, 10, King's Arms-yard, London, E.C., and 81, Nassau-street, New York, and at the office of the Southern Railroad Association, 20, Nassau-street, New York.
