 C2,(K)0,(iOO. A portitin only of this iiu«>ni(' has luni distrihuted as dividend, while the remainder is 
 represented in the a*si'ls and i)ahnu'es. The assets of the Company, in whieh the Subserihers 
 will i)e entitled to an interest eorrespondini: to tlie amount of their Subscription, will consist of ^oods

 The C(mipany's territory, embraces an estiuiiited area of more than 1,100,000 square miles, or 
 eight hundred and ninety-six millions of acres, of which a laryje area, on the Southei'ii Frontier, is well 
 adapted for KurojH'ini colonization. The soil of tliis portion of the territor_\ is fertile, producing, iti 
 abundance, wheat, and other cereal crops, and is capable of sustaining a ninnerous population. It 
 contains 1,400 mih-s of navigable lakes and rivers, runinng, for the greater part, east and west, which 
 constitute an important feature in plans for csiiibli>liini.>' the means of cominuiiication between the Atlantic 
 aiul I'acitic Oceans, a'loss the ( ontinent of IJritisli North America, as well as for immediate settlement 
 in the interveinmr country. The territor\ is, nmn'over, ricli in mineral wealth, including coal, lead, 
 and iron. 
 
 In addition to its Chartcrcil territory, tlic ('imipany po>»css the following valuable landed propertv: 
 .Several ]dots of land in Hritish C'oluuihia, occupviiig most t'iivoin'ablc sites at the mouths of rivers, the 
 titles to which lia\e been confirnu-d li\ llcr Maje>tv's ( iovernnicnt ; farms, building sites in Vancouver's 
 Island; and in Canada ten square miles at l.acloclic, on Lake Huron, and tracts of laiul at fourteen other 
 places. 
 
 The trading operations of the Company arc chietl_\ I'arried on in the fur-bearing and northern 
 |H)rti<m of the territory, where the climate is too severe Ibr Kin'opean colonization. These trading operations 
 will be actively c<aiti!iuetl, and as far as possible extended, whilst the managenuMit will be judiciously 
 econimiized. : • ' ' • - : .> , > • ,•
