PROSPECTUS OF THE KIANG-PEI CONCESSIONS, LTD.

This Company has been formed to take over a contract entered into by the Board of Mines in Szechuan with Mr. Arobibald Little, and ratified by the Peking Board of Foreign Affairs in December, 1904. Such centraat has for its object the formation of su Auglo Chinese Company, with a capital of Tls. 500,000. divided into 5,000 shares of The 100 each, to undertake the. exploitation of the mining region of Kiang-pel Ting, Sub-Prefecture in the Province of Szechuan. The original contrast in Chinese and an English translation of it can be seen at the offees in Shanghai of Messrs. Stokes, Platt and Teesdale, the Solicitors to the Company. Its terms are shortly as follows:-

During a period of 50 years, which may, with the consent of the Chinese Government, be extended by a further period of 15 years, the Anglo-Chinese Company is aathorised to mine coal and iron throughout the above-mentioned sub-prefecture, and no other Foreign Company or joint Chinese or Foreign Company, shall be permitted to prospect or mine within sach profantace. A Chinese Company called the Pao Fu Company, already formed and organized with the approval of the Provincial Government, has to provide, ont of its own resources, suficient sapital to acquire by negotiation with the native owners sach mining lands as the Anglo-Chinese Company shall desire to work, and having acquired such lands the Pau Fu Company has to lease them to the Anglo-Chinese Company in return for en annast rental amounting to 9 por cent of the value of the output at the pit meath. 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 further provides that the not profits, after payment of the intual rent, pit tax, and working expenses and subwaypent to a drat charge for payment of interest to the shareholder at 8% por sanum on the capital of the Company, are to be divided into ten parte and apportione I .

follows:-

One-touth is to be set aside for Amortisation of Capital, and one-tenth for a Reserve Fund; of the remaining sight-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, and also for the construction of railways and canals for the transport of minerals, subject to ressonable conditions. The Concession area is comprised within the limits of such prefacture of Kiang-pei, a district situated on the north bank of the Yangtze River, immediately below the Treaty Port of Chungking; and metsuring 190 li cast and west and 200 li north and south, au area of some 3,000 square miles. The district is noted as containing deposita of the best coal and iron oren in Szechuan, if not in China. Thousands of old workings of both minerals testify to the wido extension of the deposits. The native miners abandon their workings in the ground as soon as dificulties with water or ventilation arise, and thus way promising mines have been left derelict and are now, under the terms of the concession, upen to profitable working by improved foreign methods.

Of the few ocal mines in the basin now being worked on a comparatively important seale, thak at Langwangtung is the chief. The coal from these collieries is almost identical with Welsh, is free from sulphur, and is the best steam raiser yet discovered in China. During the association of the local mine owners and gentry have combined with Mr. Little past five years, in working one seam in the Lungwanglang Glen, and have met with an active demand for their production, both in Szechuan locally as wall as in the Lower Yangtsan ports: Ichang and Hankow. No coal approaching the Langwangtang ia quality has so far been found in the Yangtare Valley, and as a consequence, this Association has been able to sell all the coal it has been able to put out of the following prices --In Chungking. Tis. 5 per ton; in Ichang, Tis. 9.50 per tou, and in Hankow, Tls. 11.50 per ton-as against Japan coal selling in Hankow at ? taels per ton.

The cost of the coal at the pit mouth is little over ons tast per ton; and it is to lessen the" cost of transit by the substitution of a light mineral railway for the coolis porterage now employed between the mine and the river, that capital is required. The distance from the wine to the river is 15 miles, and the estimated cost of a two-foot guage line Tls. 150,000. The road will be carried by onsy gradients along the valley of a stream, which falls into the river at the site of the Company's shipping port of Shiblackou, to which railway transport will effect a reduction on present coolis transport of Tls, par tou. By improvements in the working and the opening of a new edit to tap a hitherto untouched portion of the field, a practically unlimited increase in the outpat may be obtained at a reduced cost from the Langwangtung Coal Field alone.

All consumers of the Lungwangtong coal testify to its exceptional value as a steam-raiser. The Company holds certificates from Naval Engineers, from Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., from Messrs. Acubold, Karberg & Co., and from the Lukan Railway; all of which may be seenst the offices of the Solicitors. The Chief Engineer of the latter notes the fact that using ro coal his compound engines can make the run of 200 miles without stopping to olean fires.

Alongside of the coal deposits are found excellent iron ores, which are now worked on a small sesle by the natives, who make fine castings which are employed in feel manufacture thronghout the province. Seeing that the coal and iron ores, hematite and clay-ironstone, are in jartaposition, and that masses of first-class limestone, from which large supplies of obeap lime pro now drawn, lie above the coal, there is material here for a great iron and cement industry in the near futuro.

The untouched reserves of coal and of iron ores throughout the wide Concussion aron fre practically unlimited. Of the one narrow seam now being worked at Langwangtung. Mr. Kingsmill. C.E, who made a detailed survey of the region last year, and whose report and nupa offleos, estimates the untouched area of the Lungwangtung seam practically level and Company MITSU BISHI DOCKYAR)the surface as of the geological features, as well as of the Concession area, my be goon at the AND ENGINE WORKS, self-draining at fifty-four square miles. Out-croppings in the neighbouring glens, as well as along the river bank, show the existence of numerous other teams. One such is the nine foot anthracite of the Latikon mines, situated to the West of the Lungrauetang, a coal which, when the mines were in full working, supplied the brine distilleries at the salt wells. The intrinsic A.1, A.B.C.. and Engineering Code Used value of this coal is shown by the fact that it pays to convey it up a "rapíd " infested stream, to

for a

a term of three years from date. The provisional agreement can be seen at the offices of the Solicitors to the Company.

the

The terms under which the Concessionaire, as Vendor, porte with his Concession Company which was registered in Hongkong on the 23rd March last have been formulated in an agreement dated the 27th day of March, 1906, made by him with the Company, whereby he transfers to the Company all his mining Interests in the ragion acquired thereunder, in return wherefor he is to receive one thousand fully paid-up Shares in the Company,

Under present disadvantageons conditions the Langwangtung Collieries have, sine their management was taken over by the vendor in 1999, distr bated an annual dividend of 15 por cont, on a capital of T*%, 60,000, and an output of only 20,000 tons, bagides anmie ten per cent. spent in improvements in the mines. The short railway will be built during the coming winter, after which it will to possible to deal with a vastly increased output, and to earn a proportion- ately increased dividend. Iron smelling and allied industries will be dealt with later. It will be the aim of the Directors to work economically, and only to introduce expensive innovations cautionely.

The working of this Concession is no new experiment, but a proved proposition whisk only needs fresh capital to he developed into an enterprise of great magnitude.” By its conversion into a Limited Liability Company, investors are offered an unique opportunity of participating in one of the most promising mining concessions that the Chinese Government has thought fit to grant. They granted this Čensession in recognition of the work already done by the Concessionaire in Szechuan, and there is every reason to anticipate their continued and hearty support in carrying through the developments contemplated.
