This Company is formed for the purpose of carrying on the business of a Finance Corporation, and as such of acquiring interests in sound Industrial or Mineral concerns, of becoming Concessionaires, and guarantee- ing the issues of approved Debentures and other Securities. The profitable nature of the business contemplated is amply exemplified by the balance-sheets and reports of similar undertakings, notable amongst which are the London and West Australian Exploration Com- pany, [he Colonial Finance Corporation, the West Australian Gold Fields, and the West Australian Exploring and Finance Corporation. The results of these undertakings, as set forth in tbe last annual balance-sheets and reports, were as follows :— Net Profits Earned; The London and WestAus-\ About 250 per cent, on the tralian Exploration Co. paid-up capital. Colonial l inance Corpora- About 575 per cent, on the tion J paid-up capital. West Australian Gold I About 100 per cent, on the It Ields paid-up cadital; West Australian Exploring V About 206 per cent, on the and Finance Corporation issued capital. Results such as these, achieved in some instances within the first year's operations, illustrate the profit- able nature of a class of business which has hitherto been largely carried on by individuals who, by the employment of .capable engineers and the judicious development of properties, frequently acquired in the first instance at merely nominal figures, have been able to amass large fortunes, whilst investors have ultimately acquired their interest in such properties at enormous premiums. Similar opportunities to those WhICh presented themselves in the early days of gold mining in South Africa, and by which such undertakings as the South African Gold Trust and the Consolidated Gold Fields of South Africa, as well as certain prominent individuals, were enabled to make fabulous profits and fortunes, are offered to-day in West Australia, New Zealand, British Columbia, and British Guiana, with the important additional advan- tage of greater security from political disturbances. West Australia is regarded by some as destined to prove itself the gieatest and richest goldfield yet discovered. In 188¡¡1 the value of its gold production was about £1,100, while in 1895 it was valued at about £879,700. The machinery now in course of transit and erection will, it may safely be predicted, make the return for 1896 much greater. Better than the general consensus of opinion as to the value of these fields is the fact that crushings from fourteen West Australian mines, aggregating 35,362 tons of ore, are stated to have given a yield of 147,404oz. of gold, or an average of over 4oz. per ton—a remarkable result, and a very significant One, considering that the mines in question are situated widely apart and in different sections of the fields—viz., five at Murchison, five at Coolgardie, and four at Hannan's. The mineral wealth of New Zealand is also pro- verbial amongst those who are acquainted with the subject, but lack of capital and the proper mechanical and metallurgical appliances have retarded its pro- gress. Notwithstanding this fact, however, it is stated that, since any proper records of its production have been kept, the value of its gold exports have been There, as also in British Columbia land British Guiana, the employment of capable aud trustworthy engineers and the judicious expenditure of capital, combined with the application of modern machinery and processes, are all that is necessary to ensure a profitable," yield of an abundance of the iprecious metals. A,large field is also open for the safe employment of capItal on properties the values of which have been determined by individuals or Companies lacking the necessary funds for their dotation or with which to provide plant and machinery. In such cases as these the engineers employed by the Company will be entrusted with the duty of an ex- haustive examination of the properties, in order to ascertain their present and prospective values before the Directors employ the funds of the Company in rendering any financial assistance. To those conversant with such matters it is well known tbe enormous advantages and profits which accrue to individuals or companies able to render assistance in such cases. Another fruitful source of revenue is the cheap pur- chase of blocks of Vendors' Shares frequently held by miners, whose means for prosecuting further research for mineral often depend upon realising at nominal figures the Shares acquired by them in exchange for claims or leases sold. The Directors have already a free option, at a price much below the market value, to acquire a block of Vendors' Shares in a Company whose property is reported to be of immense value, and wnose crushing plant is on its way up to the mine; and is expected to be very shortly at work. The Directors will also be able to employ a portion of the funds of the Company in issuing and guarantee- ing the capital of approved industrial and other enter- prises, and in the amalgamation and reconstruction of undertakings of proved merit t1nd value. i The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Articles of Association to carry on the business of a Trading Company, and as such to deal in all kinds of merchandise and machinery and all requisites for mining operations, and to act as agents for the letting out. on royalties of processes for the recovery of gold, and to provide the necessary plant for the same. TheCompany has offered to it the options mentioned on the first page of this Prospectus the estimates and statements respecting which are made upon the faith of, and taken from information supplied by the Companies interested or referred to. Nothing what- ever has been or will be paid for these options, and the Directors arc in no way committed to the exercise of any of them, nor are they in any way committed to any undertaking or business whatsoever, but are free- to accept or reject any or all business already under offer. It is not intended to employ the whole of the funds of the Company in any one enterprise, but, as far as possible, to distribute their investment over a wide area, thus limiting all risk in this respect and ensuring the principle of averages in the selection of invest- ments. The Company will have the opportunity of associat- ing with other similar undertakings, having organised staffs of engineers now on the various fields, in addi- tion to employing its own representatives, so that in this respect it wiU not be delayed in getting to work. A reference to the results accomplished by similar ventures is sufficient to indicate the advantages to investors of co-operating together in a business proven to be most lucrative when carried.on under the advice of experienced engineers. Modern machinery and the application of newly-discovered processes having reduced gold mining to a commercial industry, it only needs that its operations be conducted on sound principles and under experienced engineers to make it second to none in its revenue earning power, while its produce fiuds a ready market at a fixed and permanent price throughout the world. There are no Founders' Shares. No promotion money has been or will be paid to anyone, the whole of the capital of the Company beinga.vailable for the business of the Company. The'only Contract is one dated the 15th day of July, 1896, and made between Henry Ward Tanner, the Promoter, of the one part, and the Company of the otherpart, whereby, in consideration of the payment by the Promoter of all expenses incidental to the formation of the Company up to the first allotment of Shares in the Company, the Company agrees to givu to the Promoter an option for three years to purchase 50,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company at par.

Prospectuses, with Forms of Application, may be obLained from the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, and at the Offices of the Company.
