      THE FESTINIOG SLATE QUARRY COMPANY ( LIMITED ) . A LARGE portion of the required New Capital is now Subscribed for , and it is probable that allotments to the public will shortly close . . '; . „ .. The contract for the purchase of the fee-simple ot the Estate ( 200 acres ) has been effected upon very advantageous e Sreiiminaries for the construction of the proposed Railroad and the expansion of the Works are entered ^ upon , and both operations will be earned out with as littledelay as possible , so as to sepure an early dividend . The CAPITAL , of the CO 3 IPAJSTY consists of . £ 100 , 006 , -in 20 , 000 SHAKES of £ 5 each , Of two classes , viz . . —A . participating in the entire profits after ™ paying- of Dividend to B . B . bearing a Preference Dividend not exceeding 7 £ per cent , per annum , payable out of the profits of the year . Deposit Is . per Share on application , and Ms . per Share on Allotment . DIKECTOES . David Davies , Esq ., St . James ' s Mount , Liverpool . Alfred Erasmus Dryden , Esq ., Lincoln ' s Inn , London . Richard Morris Griffith , Esq ., Banker , Bang-or . "William Mountcastle ; Esq ., Market Street , Manchester . Hugh Pugh , Esq ., Banker , Pwllheli , North Wales . BANKERS . The London Joint Stock Bank , London . The National Provincial Bank of England , Bang-or . The Quarries of the Company are situated on the Tyddynbach Estate , Festiniog , North Wales , contiguous to the extensive and profitable quarries of Lord Pajmerston and others , whose production is known as the Portmadoc Slate The Tyddynbach Estate contains 260 acres of Proved Slate Rock of excellent quality , and of a dip most favourable for economic Working , affords natural drainage , a plentiful supply of water power , and ample room for deposit of The Property is held by the Company under a 42 years ' lease granted in 1848 to the former small proprietary at a low Royalty , with an option to purchase the fee-simple . This Lease and Option with the whole of their Quarries , Buildings , 'Works , and Plant have been purchased from the former proprietors by an allotment of 7 , 514 Shares in the present Company taken at £ 4 per share paid . The Quarries have been in operation since 1 S 4 S ; and the quality of the Slate and Slabs produced , the Reports based upon Scientific Suryeys of the whole Estate , and Experimental Tests applied at different points ( see Prospectus ) , fully establish the soundness of the undertaking-and the certainty of a large dividend resulting from further outlay of capital . It is estimated that a further capital of from £ 30 , 000 to £ 40 , 000 will enable the Company to purchase the Feesimple ; to construct a Railroad thiee miles in length , con netting the Quarries with the Port of Shipment ( Portmadoo whereby the cost of transit will be reduced two-thirds , and to increase the Workings up to a production of 50 , 000 tons per annum , from which it is estimated a profit of from £ 30 to £ 40 per cent , would be realised . Application for Shares must be made to the undersigned , from whom proper forms and prospectuses may be obtained . HARE & WHTTFIELD , Solicitors . HENRY WHITWORTH , Secretary .
