PROSPECTUS.

PROSPECTUS.

This Company ia formed (1) for the purpose ofraising and rattening cattle, Sec. (by the aid of irri

gation paddocks), for the Brisbane and other

Australian markets; (2) for the purpose of pur

chasing 299 acres of land, portions 19, 20, and 21,

Wellington Point, Cleveland, near Brisbane, con

taining a large body of permanent water, suitable

for irrigation and other purposes of the Company;(3) for tbe

purpose of leasing, renting, or pur

chasing land in the district suitable for grazingstock.

The raising and fattening of cattle, as is well

known, is one of the most profitable and reliable

of colonial industries. The district of Cleveland

being within twenty miles of the city of Brisbane,

and still nearer to the port, has all the advantagesof easy access to a large and reliable market.

There are in the Cleveland district very large

areas of excellent posturo lands held mainly bynon-resident owners in prospect of increased

future values. Many thousands of acres of these

lands are at present lying idle and unimproved,

and as it is well known that to put stock uponthorn will benefit the land by keeping down the

undergrowth, sweetening the gra s, Arc, it has

been found possible to secure some thousands of

acres at a merely nominal rental.

For fattening cattle and other stock for marketit is proposed to lay down from 60 to 100 acres of

the land to be purchased in irrigation paddocks,the cost of working which will, to some extent, be

lessened from the fact that the Government have

alreudy erected pumping plant at Hilliard's Creek,iv a most suitable place for the purpose of the

company, which they have agreed to lease at a

trifling cost (£lO per annum) to the Company.The fifty odd acres which it is proposed to irri

gate is composed of rich chocolate soil; it slopes

gently to tho water, and is admirably suited for

irrigation purposes. By this meansit is estimated

that at least 2000 head- of cattle may be annually

fattened for market, realising at least £6000 perthousand.

The land is adjacent to the growing townshipsof Cleveland and Wellington Point, is within easy

access of three railway stations, and hy road is only

eighteen miles from Brisbane. It is under offer

to the Company at £25 per aero, but has

been recently valued by tho Cleveland Divisional

Board's valuator at £46 per acre, and must rapidlyadvanco in value as population increases. Tho

nearest Railway Station (Ormiston), is withinfifteen minutes' walk of the land.

The nearness to the Brisbane markets mnst

prove of great advantage to the Company, in

saving both expense, of droving and loss of weight

and condition. Cattle takon straight from the

Company's fattening paddocks, and thus in the

very pink of condition, will certainly command tho

highest market prices.

The great area of grazing land, thus available

so near to the capital of Queensland, is a uniquefenturo of this district. Thousands of acres are

held by absentee owners in prospect of increased

held by absentee owners prospectvalues, enabling the Company to carry on its

operations at a nominal cost for rent of land in the

very precincts of the largest markets of the colony.

Tbe added value for growth in cattle each twelve

months will not be less than 20s. por head, while

the increase of cattle by calving may be calculated

at 60 per cent.It should be noted, too, that the assets of the

companywill mainly consist of land and cattle—

asseta always realisable, that no bod debts can be

made, as all transactions will be for cash. And

further, that labour difficulties can never arise to

impede tlie operations of the Company and lesson

the profits, as the Directors will be able to carry

on the whole business with a competent workingSuperintendent and two or three men.
