This Company la formed piincipally for the purpose of smelting:
the ores fruin the min j, and for the in mufacturo uf bar, rod, nail,
plate, and every description of marketable iron. The FitzRoy
Iron and Coal Mines aro i-ituated at Mittugjrg, in the oounty of"
Camden, within 75 miles of Sydney by the proient dray road, and
immediately on the line of tho proponed railway from Sydney to
Goulburn, by which they will bo aUtanifroin the Metropolis about'
Tho woll-known character of the Fitz Roy Iron Mino renders i
unnecessary to enter upou any minute description; the ores ob
taiaod from these mines, yield on un average over GO per cent of
motil, and are equal to the fliest 8wodish iron, the average in
England boing usually less than onc-h Uf that amount.
The peculiar richness of tho metal, Us adaptation to every de
senpiion of article to which iron can bo appliod, added to its easy
transition into steel, havabcen fully ascertained and acknowledged',
by all who take nu interest in the natural resources of this oolsny.
The two splendid blocks of ore, and the eise of specimens, colleoted
for the Paris Exhibition, bear testimony to the correctness of
The Fitz Roy Estate covers an area of GOO acres, the mine being
in the centre ; the property is freehold, and wholly unencum-
Immediately adjoining this valuable property, a coal field of
great extent, has recently been discovered, the product of which
is equal to the bo« Newcmtlo coal. This field underlies a oon
Blderablo portion of the 1000 acres leased by the Government to
this Company on an extremely favourable lloyaltj, and runs for
some disiunce into the Fitz Hoy Estate.
In tho offioial letter on the subject received from tho honorable
tho late Colonial Secretary, E Deas Tnomt>on, E-q., it is stated,
" that such n very liberal concession on the part of the Govern-
ment was granted to the Company, in consequence of the great
expense that had been incurred in tho discovery of tho coal,
and considering the workiug of the Fitz Roy Mines, known.'
to oontaln euch valuablu ores of the utmost importance to the
public, and a groat addition to the mineral wealth of the colony."
The very elaborate and scientific report of Mr. William Keene,
the civil engineer appointed by the Government to proceed te the
Fitz Roy Mines, drew from tho late Colonial Seoretary a high
culogium, when laid on the tablo of the Legislative Council. Mr.
" It ia my humblo opinion that (ho rich beds of iron ore of
the Fitz Roy Mines, and the infinite ramifications of manu-
facture #hich mu-t result from their being worked, as well
68 the general interests uf the colony in the economical
construction and efficient action' of the iron ways whioh
must soon connect its chi«r cities, not only warrant hut re-
quire that every encouragement bo given by tho Govern-
ment to persons disposed to search for coal on the lands in
its possession, in tbo district, and I further venturo to affirm
that researches a j far justified by the indications of euch
rich and extensive ooal fields, if properly conducted, muBt
The difficulty of procuring suitablo fuel in the immediate neigh-
bourhood had hitherto prevented thesu mines, except as ex-
periment, lrom being worked ; this impediment is now entirely
removed ; in eleven différent sinkings the coal has been dis-
covered, and tho principal shaft is distant only one milo and a
quarter from tho furnace, from which it is proposed to lay down a
tram way on the road recently completed by the Company,-and
from indications similar to tlnso which led to the discovery of the
richest seam, it is fully contemplated that one of i qual extent will
be struck upon, on the Company's ptoperty, within one hundred,
Apart from tho present aspect of European aff drs, the very
general substitution throughout the world of i on for wood, es- .
peoially in ahip-bmlding, has rcndi red it exceedingly difficult in
England to complete contracts of anv magnitude : the demand
greatly exceeds the supply, and prices have consequently risen to
an unprecedented extent. The rapidly ircroasin< requirements of
tho metal in all the Australian colonies are so grea*, that the
interests of these countries is much to be considered in the
working of The Fitz Roy Mine. Tae high range pricos have
assumed in Europe, will render it almost impossible in future for
colonial consumers, especially Railway Companies, to deposit their
metal on our wharves, but at prices far In excess of those they
havo hitherto been accustomed to, and should any circumstance
occur, which is not impossible from tho ancrtaln position
of Europe, to prevent our obtaining any but a very limited sup-
ply, and perhaps no supply whatever, the Australian colonies
must then, from necessity, rely on their own resources. Iron of
the greatest purity is at our feet;-without this most useful and -
necessary metal we o innot keep paoe with the rest of the world,
it fttrely therefore cannot be de med uuwiso or premature to
embroco at once thi* opportunity of nndering ourselves, to a
great extent, inriopen lent of foro gil supply.
The Oro at th« Fitz liov Miics, th >u,'h extending to a very
considerable depth, lies immediately on the Hurface, with na-
turally fonaed adits, so that little, if any m Tiinfj operations, for
some time to come, will bo required ; and consi quently, as com-
pared with similar descriptions of property in Europt and other
parts of the world, the labour required will be bat trifling, and
from tho great purity of the ere, consrquent on its having In a
primitive state been subjected to some natural prcoess, much of
the expense attending the usual mode of smelting will be greatly
The Estimates that have been made of the probable expense and
returns on the working of these Mines, hold out every encourage-
ment to the undertaking, and aro based on the highest rate of
wages and the avorage colonial price of the metal : if these Esti-
mates promise, as they do, a nandsome return, when tho item of
carriago under the present system is included, and on which they
are grounded, it is unnecessary to remark on the very favourable
result when the Railway, which will pass through this property,
This Company will then not only be in a position to benefit
largely in the sale of its iron, but from the extent and quality of
the coal, will be enabled to Bupuly the whole of the City of Sydney
and her large and increasing steam fleet with fuel, at one half at
least the present prices ; the Shareholders of this Company will
thus possess far greater advantage-) than Shareholders in genefal,
having two distinct resources whereon to rely for their dividend,
namely, the Iron and the Coal, and both wonting at the same tims
Leaving tho profit to bo derived by the shareholders of this
Company out of the question, the whole colony is oloarly in-
terested in the working of theae mines. The colonial markets
will thon bo regularly supplied with iron equal to tha best English .
brands, and the consumer nut subjected to the delay and uncer-
tainty of a long (ea voyage-the example thus set will afford im-
petus and encouragement to undertakings of a similar description,
It will open up for Australia one of the most valuable articles el
commerce tho earth can produce, and while it will unquestionably
tend to her future advancement, it will materially tend to
strengthen her position in the world.
