This Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring, working, and developing the valuable mining property known as the Esk Valley Iron Works, in the famous Cleveland iron district, which have been disposed of-bv the executors in consequence of the death of the late proprietor, Sir. William Watkin. The property is situate at Grosmont, within seven miles of the port of Whitby, whence there are excellent shipping facilities for London, Scotland, Wales, and all home and foreign ports at favour- able rates of freight. Cleveland is well-known as the largest iron-producing district in the world and possesses unequalled facilities for trasport both by land and by sea, while the important items of coal, coke, and limestone,.necessary in the manufacture of pig iron, are cheap and abundant, and of excellent quality. The reputation of the Cleve- land iron is so well known as to need no further comment, and the demand for it has increased far beyond the existing means of production. Special advantages for the conveyance of pig iron from the works of this Company to the port of Whitby, and all inland markets, are afforded by the Whitby and Pickering and the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railways, which cross the estate, the rates of car- riage being the same as, from Middlesbro', the cost of production per ton being, however, in favour of the Esk- Valley Works. The property of which this Company will enter into possession comprises an area of 400 acres, and is held on a lease for 63 years from 1st October, 1859, of which, therefore, nearly 51 years are unexpired, subject to a royalty on the ironstone obtained of 6d. per ton of 22t cwt. According to the report of J. G. Beckton, Esq., C.E., the well- known engineer, a copy of which is enclosed in the prospectus, the quantity of ironstone on the estate is computed by him to be not less than ten millions (10,000,000) of tons. In addition to the ironstone the estate contains an abundant supply of good brick-earth and stone suitable for building pur- poses, both of which the lessees have the right of using free from royalties and all other charges. The engineer reports that the existing works and plant are in excellent working order, that the seams now opened are conve- niently situate for mining purposes and for easy and economical working, and that there are suitable sites and ample space for the erection and working of blast furnaces, rolling mills, &c. A contract has been entered into for the transfer to the Company of the lease of the property, with the buildings and plant thereon, also for the erection of two of the largest sized blast furnaces with all modern improvements and accessory works, new blowing ow engines, steam lift, locomotive engines, railway sidings, the sinking of a new shaft, the building of 76 workmen's cottages, &c., the whole for the sum of £ 160,000. The Company will thus possess the necessary machinery to enable them to produce 40,000 tons of pig iron per annum, and the requisite plant for the extraction of the ironstone in quantities sufficient to keep the works in full and constant operation. The contract further provides for the due payment of interest at the note of eight per Out, per annum on the paid-up capital during the construction of the works. The contractors are under engagement, under penalties, to com- plete the whole of the works within one year from their commence- ment. The Directors will have the advantage of the local experience and assistance of Mr. John Venman, of Whitby, who has had the super- vision of the property for some years, and who has consented to join the Board as -Pe" idei,f I)irector. The present condition of the troll trade is of an exemditigly en- couraging character, and the consequent demand for pig iron indicates a still greater advance in prices over present quotations. The following extracts describe the present state and future prospects of the iron trade Morning Paper, 15th January, 1872. Middlesbro', Jan 13tii. The Pig Iron trade of Cleveland con- tinues in a perfectly satisfactory state. It is expected that the present high prices will increase." Mining Journal, 13th January, 1872. Jan. 11.—"The usual quarterly meeting of the North of England Iron and Allied Trades was held at the Royal Exchange, Middlesborough, on Tuesday, when the attendance of those in- terested in the trades was very large. The market opened firm, at last week's rates, and advanced at the close to 67s. and 67s. 6d. for No. and one or two special parcels are reported to have been sold at 69s. 6d. net cash. The demand continues unabated, and the fact of the demand being for actual consumption, and not, except perhaps to a very small extent, for speculation, coupled with the limited supply, renders it probable that prices will go even higher before long. From the return of the Cleveland Iron- masters' Association for last month, we notice that the make of pig iron in December was 163,460 tons, which is 13,858 tons more than the corresponding month of 1870. The make in this district alone of pig iron last year was nearly 1,900,000 tons. Every department of the finished iron trade is full of work. The Directors would invite special attention to the Report of the Engineer, J. G. Becton, Esq., C.E., who has designed and completed some of the most successful works in the district his great practical"experience and local knowledge therefore constitute him a high authority on all matters connected with the Cleveland district, and the production of pig iron generally. In such statement it will be seen that Mr. Becton has taken, as the basis of his calculation, the price of pig' iron at only (Ids. per ton, whereas the present market rate is considerably higher, being over 70s. per ton. The directors, however, are content to base their estimate of the prnfits of the Company upon the lower quotation. The following details, extracted from Mr. Becton's Report, show the cost of producing pig iron in the Cleveland district, and the margin of profit which may fairly be expected to accrue :— Taking the sellmg price of pig iron (now over 70s. per ton), say at 66s. per toil £ 3 6 0 Deduct—The post of raiding the ironstone, and all other mining expenses making one ton of pig iron, is.. CO 10 6 The maximum cost of manufacture including all charges whatsoever, is 1 8 3 ———— 1 18 9 leaving a net profit per ton of £1 7 3 which, on 4 total make of 40,000 tons of pig iron per annum which will b? the capacity of production of the Company's works now to be erected—would be equivalent to a net profit ofC54,500 per annum, or a dividend of over 27 per cent. on the capital of the Company. The growth o' the iron trade in the Cleveland district has been of a steaoy and satisfactory character. The quantity of pig iron made from Cleyeand ore was In 1859 620,002 tons lu 1S65 957,311 tons In I860 f>3,->,000 tons In 1860 1,043,527 tons In 1861 507,000 tons In 1807 1,156,953 tons In 1802 529 tons In 1868 1,235,418 tons In 1863 Bis,400 tons In 1869 1,4-99,508 tons In 1864 120,054 tons In 1870 1,695,377 tons The production or the year 1871 is stated to have been nearly 2,000,000 tons.
