Travers and Kingdon, Nelson*' Secerbtauy, pro. tern„: * Alfred George Jenkins, Esquire. v This Company is formed for the purpose of working, in a more complete and extensive manner, certain beds or seams of coal recently opened and now being worked, upon the Enneb-glynn Estate, situated within two miles of the town of NeUon. The Provisional Committee have received from tho proprietor an undertaking to let to the Company the entire estate, comprising neatly 1800 acres, for a'term 'of Sixty Years, at a royalty of Is. per ,ton on mineral raised, subject to the usual conditions for ensuring tho effectual working of the mines. i From the works now in progress the Committee , feel satisfied that a very large quantity of coal can be raised; level free, ensuring a supply for years, free from ! the cost of machinery. I The coal itself having been already proved to be pf j good quality, both for domestic use and for ordinary steam purposes, it is needless to expatiate1 upon the special advantages which must accrue to tbe public, from the successful prosecution of the proposed undertaking, for it is well known, that the only drawback which has hitherto existed to an extensive use of this fuel, has been the want of a sufficient and continuous supply. - - Tho Committee' feel no hesitation, moreover, in expressing a confident hope, founded upon results apparent from the present workings, that the quality of the coal will improve materially, when obtained at a greater distance from the surface, the present yield consisting, in a great measure, of crop coal. The Committee are of opinion that the deposit of 4s. per share will amply provide for the present carrying on of the works; and no further -calls will be made, without giving at least two months' previous notice, each further call not exceeding 4s. per share. The affairs of the Company will be under tho management of aboard of five directors,-three of whom shall be a quorum, to, be elected by the shareholders. Tho Company will be deemed to be established so soon as 3500 shares have been subscribed for. A deposit of'4s. per share will be required to be i paid on application for shares, and not less than five. 1 shares will be allotted to any one person. 1 Every precaution necessary for limiting the liability lof the shareholders to the amount of their respective, shares, will be taken in preparing the Deed of Settle--1 ment. .264 1.. \ .
