FARMERS' REGISTER. 



[No. II 



to the 30th of March I In several of those char- 

 ters the object of pursuit is designated to be gold 

 — in other copper j while in many of them the 

 metallic character is not mentioned at all. Their 

 aggregate capital is ^5,795,000, with aright to in- 

 crease it to ^30,000,000, and to hold land amount- 



ing in the whole, to 197,800 acres— a territory 

 laro^er than either out of several of our smallest 

 counties. 



But here follow the titles of each company — the 

 date of its charter — its actual and possible capital, 

 with the quantity of land each may hold.
