PROSPECTUS OF THE ROANOKE
WATER POWER AND LAND
COMPAQ V
The Roanoke Water Powei and
Land Co. owns 209 acres of land, ly?
ing on the Roanoke river, adjoiuiiig
the corporation limits, and about one
mile from the City Hall. TheBeltLine
lailroad, as staked out and adopted
by the Norfolk and Western railroad
for early construction on the south
bank of the Roanoke river, runs
through the property, thereby devel-1
oping, for industrial plants between
the railroad and the river, sites that
cannot be surpassed.
One of the significant features of i
this enterprise is that the company
absolutely controls.upon ts own estate i
the entire How of the Roanoke river.
The ground is very favorable for the
rapid and cheap construction of a!
canal whereby water power may be!
furnished at alow cost tomanufactur-1
ing enterprises. It is proposed to
build this canal at once, and to estab?
lish, at the earliest possible day, an 1
electrical plant to furnish-light to the
property and vicinity, power to street
railways running to and through the
city, and what is more important than
all, to distribute small power to the
houses of "workers," both male and
female, located on the company's
property.
It is proposed to connect the estate
of the Roanoke "Water Power and
Land Company by iron bridges with
the streets and boulevards of the
Mountain View and West End Land
Companies' tracts, two of the most
attractive surburban additions to
Roanoake city.
It is believed that this enterprise,
combining the facilities afforded by
the railroad and the river, in conjunc?
tion with thegreat natural advantages
of the site, means the establishment
of a new industrial centre in Roanoke
that will prove most attraetivejto the
outside world, aud largely and rapidly
advance the coming of what is now a
certainty?that Roanoke is to be, at
no remote day. the principal indus?
trial city of Virginia, if not of the
South.
The completion of the Roanoke'and
Southern railroad, now an .assured
fact, connects the Southern Atlantic
Seaboard by a bee line with this lo?
cality, and opens direct communica?
tion* with the high grade ores and
irons of Eastern Virginia and^North
Carolina.
Tho terms upon which the public
are offered an interest in this enter?
prise are entirely novel, inasmuch as
the promoters and managers do not
recive any compensation until the;
moderate amount of capital, which I
they propose to associate with them,
is absolutely secured and remunerated
The Capital Stock of the Com?
pany will be.$o?0,000
Of whiehthere will be Prefer?
red Stock.$150,00'
And common Stock.$200,000
Of this $200,000 of common stock and
?00,000 of the preferred stock have
been issued for the property fully
paid for. leaving a remainder in the
treasury for future use, cd' $90,000.
The preferred stock will be entitled
to a 0 per cent, cumulative dividend,
before anv dividends can be declared
on the common stock. The preferred
stock will be receivable at any time at
its cash value in payment lor busi?
ness and residence lots to be laid out
and placed upon the market. If. at
any time within two years, the holder
wishes to exchange a secured and pre?
ferred stock for a speculative one, he
can, by giving up his preferred stock
for cancellation, receive in return
therefor an amount of common stock
equal to the preferred stock relin?
quished. In making any sales of
lands, the charter requiies that a pro
portionatepart of the proceeds thereof
shall be set aside, so that every dollar
cf outstanding preferred stock shall
be properly covered by this sinking
fund before any dividends cau be de?
clared on the common stock. In con?
sideration of the absolute security
given to the preferred stock holder,
the company reserves the right, after
two years, to retire any outstanding
preferred stock at par and accrued
unpaid dividends.
It is believed that a more honest,
legitimate and attractive proposal
cannot be made to the investing pub?
lic. The promoters of this enterprise
are confident that large ultimate!
profits can be made by conservative, i
energetic and methodical manage-j
inent. They do not seek a spasmodic:
"boom," but a steady and valuable
growth. The property they control;
is admirably located and naturally i
favorable. Business enterprises will i
be confined to the broad, elevated and
sandy plateau lying between the rail?
road and the river. Residence lots
will be located on the rounded,wooded
audbeautiful foothillsto the westward
and southward. The drainage of the
whole can be made perfect at a mod?
erate expense.
In order to give people of moderate
means an opportunity of becoming
interested where their money is se?
cured and available at any moment
for the purchase of a Lome, the par
of the stock, both preferred and com?
mon, is placed at $20? twenty-five (25)
per cent, to be paid upon call after
the allotment of the stock, and the
balance in monthly calls of ten (10)
per cent.
In no event can the capital stock
exceed $350,000, but may. and proba
ably win be, largely reduced by can?
cellation of the preferred stock used
in payment of lots purchased and re?
tired."
The preferred stock can only be
placed at par?the proceeds to be used
in making the place attractive and for
the establishment of industries. In
view of recent sales of adjacent prop?
erties, it will be seen that the pre?
ferred stock to be issued is far below
the present value of the mere land
without any improvements.
Only $100,000 in preferred stock will
be offered for sale. This will meet all
deferred payments on the land, giving
it in fee, and place $50,000 in cash in
the treasury as a Avorkicg capital, to
be only used, if actually needed, in
adding value to the property.
The right to subscribe will remain
open until June 1st, 1890, and the stock
tfill be allotted according to priority
i of subscription.

! tered and organized. The .-.icersfor

rjno INVESTORS.
I desire to call the attention of capi
talists and others desiring a good in
vestment, to the excellent opportunity
I now offer them for investing in some
of the finest mineral and timber landi
in Southwest Virginia and West Vir?
ginia; These lands are located chief!'
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad
via the Clinch Valley to Big Stone
Gap, and on the extension via tin
Elk Horn to the Ohio River. I have
also at my disposal, located as above
large bodies of timber, such as
walnut, poplar, oak of every variety,
hicory, etc., which I will sell without
the lands on very favorable terms.
The poplar timber is located as fol?
lows: 40,000 trees in Pike county.
Kentucky:30,000 in Buchanan county.
Virginia; 25,000 in Russell and Taze
well counties, Virginia. 70,000 ol
these tr.-es are in easy access
to floating waters, which will iloat
them to Catlettsburg, Ky. 25,000 are
in close proximity to the Clinch Valley
division of the Norfolk and Western
railroad. This timber is of faiperioi
qualitv, carefully selected and ownei
has aperiecs title to the same, which
he will guarantee.
In addition to the above I have
some of the most desirable residence
and business lots in the new and
thriving towns of Bluelield and
Graham. Located at the junction ol
the Clinch Valley division of tac- Nor?
folk and Western railroad and its
various branches leading into the
immense coal fields of West Virginia,
they promise to be among the most
important towns on the Norfolk
and Western system, and are destined
to become one town in the near future.
