THE Undorsigned has receive instinctions
of the Provincial Government, has to provide, out of its own resources, unfinient capital to acquire to sell by Public Auction,
by negotiation with the native owners such mining lands as the Anglo-Chinese Company shall deaire work, and having acquired saab lands the Pau Fu Company has to lease them to the Anglo-Chinese Company in return for an annual rental amouuting to 24 per cent of the value of the the output at the pit mouth. A pit tax of 5 per cent. of the output of coal and iron has to be paid to the Central Government, and any mining regulations eventually agreed upon between the Chinese and British Authorities will have to be adhered to.
The contract farther provides that the net profits, after payment of the annual rent, pit tax, and working expenses and subsequeat to a first charge for payment of interest to the shareholders of 8% per annum on the capital of the Company, are to be divided into ten parts and apportioned as follows:-
Oun-tonth is to be set aside for Amortisation of Capital, and one-tenth for a Reserve Fund; of the remaining eight-tenths, 25 per cent, has to be paid as royalty to the Chinese Government, and the balance is at the disposal of the shareholders of the Anglo-Chinese Company.
Permission is given for the employment of a Mining Expert to prospect, nod also for the constraction of railways and canale for the transport of minerals, subject to reasonable conditions.
The Concession area is comprised within the limits of such prefecture of Kiang-psi, a district situated on the north bank of the Yangtze River, immediately below the Treaty Port of Chungking; and measuring 190 li east and west and 200 li north and south, an area of some Szechuan, if not in China. Thusands of old workings of both minerals testify to the wide 3,000 square miles. The district is noted as containing deposits of the best coal and iron ores in extension of the deposits. The native miners abandon their workings in the ground as soon as dificulties with water or ventilation arise, and thus many promising mines have been left dereliot and are now, under the terms of the concession, open to profitable working by improved foreign. methods.
Of the few coal mines the basin now being worked on a comparatively important scale,
that at Langwangiang is the shist. The coal from those collieries is almost identical with Welsh, is free from sulphur, and is the best steam raisar yet discovered in China, During the past five years, an association of the local mine owners and gentry have combined with Mr. Lile in working one seam in the Lungwangtung Olen, and have met with an active demand for their Hankor. No coal approaching the Lungwangtung in quality has so far been found in the profaction, both in Saochuan locally as well as in the Lower Yaugtsze ports: Ichang and Yangtze Valley, and as a consequence, this As-ociation has been able to sell all the cod it has been able to put out at the following prices:-In Chungking, Tls, 5 par ton; in lobang, Tis per ton, and in Hankow, Tls. 11,50 per ton--as against Japan soal selling in Hankow at 7 taula per ton.
9,50
The cost of the coal at the pit mouth is little over one tuel per ton; and it is to losses the cost of transit by the substitation of a light mineral railway for the avolie porterage now employed between the mine and the river, that capital is required. The distance from the mine will be carried by easy gradients along the valley of a stream, which falls into the river at the silo to the river is 15 mil's, and the estimated cost of a two-foot gnage lins is Tls. 150,000. The road of the Company's skipping port of Shiktsakau, to which railway transport will effect a reduction on present coolie transport of Tis. 2 per ton. By improvemente in the working and the opening of a new adit to tap a hitherto untouched portion of the field, a practically unlimited ingrass in the output may be obtained at a reduced cost from the Lungwangtung Coal Field alone.
All consumers of the The Company holds certificates from Naval Engineers from Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.. the Lungwangtung coal testify to its exceptional value as a steam-raiser. from Messrs. Arabold, Karberg & Co., and from the Laban Railway, all of which may be seen at the offices of the Solicitors. The Chief Engineer of the latter notes the fact that using this cool his compound engines cau make the run of 200 miles without stopping to clean firen
Alongside of the coal deposits are found excellent iron ores, which are now worked on a small scale by the natives, who make fine castings which are employed in steel manufacture throughout the province. Seeing that the goal and iron ores, hematite and clay-ironstone, are is juxtaposition, and that masses of first-class limestone, from which large supplies of cheap lime are now drawn, lie shoro the coal, there is material here for a great iron and cement industry in the near future.
