    ANGLO-CALTFORNIAN GOLD MINING COMPANY . Incorporated pursuant to 7 and 8 Viet . Offices No . 11 , Adam-street , Adelphi . Capital £ 50 , 000 . in 100 , 000 shares of 10 s . ( fully paid up ) each . No shareholder will be liable beyond the amount of his shares . TBUSTEES . Charles Herbert Cottrell , Esq ., Hadley , Herts . George Emmot * Green , Esq ., Emmott-hall . Xancashire . James Harmer , Esq ., Ingress-park , Greenhithe , Kent . Chairman—George Edward Cottrell , Esq ., James-street , Buckingham-gate , and New-square , Lincoln ' s-inn . Vice-chairman—Francis Dennis Massy Dawson , Esq ., Victoriasquare , and Plowden-buildings , Temple . DIRECTORS . John Barker , M . D . | Charles Hinks , Esq . Symeon T . Bartlett , LL . D . I Joseph George Parker , Esq . Jonathan Falder , Esq . | Sir C . S . Rumbold , Bart . Besident Director in California—Captain Sir Henry Vere Huntley , R . N . Bankers—London and County Bank , Lombard-street . Solicitors—Messrs . Coombe and Nickoll , Bridge-street , Westminster . SUPERINTENDENTS IN CALIFORNIA . 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 make 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 , at least , it is notdesirable to undertake mining-operations , but to crush and amalgamate quartz tobesupplied 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 , and 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 miles 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 delay has arieen , the machinery is now actually at work , and a return will be made about Christinas next . For the satisfaction of the existing shareholder * of this Company , and without wishing in any manner to deteriorate from the merits of other companies , the directors are desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Company over others now in the Held . Shareholders in other companies must rely mainly upon reports sent over by persona interested in selling the mine : > ve rely upon the reports of our own resident director and his practical assistants on the spot , whose only interest is to give us facts . The directors of other companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieced of s-ptcimen quart / ., sent over to this country for the expreuu purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public . We found our calculations upon experiin . ritH tried , « luriiiff several weeka , on quartz raised from the mine , and crushed and amalgamated by our own superintendent , and with our own machinery and apparatus . Other companies muni incur the expense and riuk of currying out mining operatioiiB upon their vein , before the quartz arrives at their mill , an < l , ulioiild their labours prove ciioccttHfiil , tlusy uuiet then pay out of their |> rolit « large per centugen for obtaining their leased , and large royalties to their lessors ; whereua we lmvo necme < l as niuc . li quartz uw our machinery i » capable of crushing , the title to which i » an secure aa dial o ! ; iuy other company , unfettered by any per ecniage or royally . The half of the produce to bo paid by this (' oiii |>! uiy to the parties who tmpply us , free of expenne , with the quariz , being , in fact , merely equivalent to the dividend upon tin : outlay of" capital expended in raisin . 'the quail / ., ami lodging it at lh « mill . All the new companies , unlike thin , must be u considerable , time before their arrangeincntu and niui-hinery can b « ready for currying out their uchumcu thin Company alone in actually tit work . Tho paid up cnpil . nl of tho t ; oinpu * iy will not exceed £ ' 20 , 000 . An almost certain estimate , of the produce of our machinery can be formed , and , from tho calculation )! made , Ihc directors confidently anticipate being able , even at tho moat moderate . « Htimatt « , to afford a dividend of 200 per cent ., at the least , within the next twelve months . According to the data furiiiuhed to ua , tho quartz which we are now working yields upon an average 4 « l . per pound , or X'l . 17 a . 4 < 1 . per cwt ., or XM 7 . <>» .
