Kallkällsgruvan

Nyhytte Mining and Water Power Company

The landowner Brukspatron E.J. Jansson declared that the landowner’s rights to the mine in question, as well as several others, had already been transferred to the Nyhytte Mining and Water Power Company through the following agreement. Brukspatron E.J. Jansson, who retained 20 shares or one-fifth of the entire company, transfers and grants to the company:

1.) The mining claim and ownership rights to Krangruvan and Hallgruvan, as well as the landowner shares in Hedgruvan, Moss- or Nordmarksgruvan, Nyttkärnsgruvan, Kobergs- or Engelgrensgruvan, Utmålsgruvan, Wäggruvan, Malmbergsåsgruvan, Sandlingsgruvan and Nyckelgruvan together with the mining rights to the Fantgruvor that may be included in the issued claim certificate – all these mines being located on the land corresponding to Brukspatron Jansson’s ownership of 25/128 of the Nyhyttan estate – as well as the landowner shares in the mines located within the same area and within Brukspatron Jansson’s other holdings.

2. The right to dam both Trehörningskärnarna, together with the necessary land from Brukspatron Jansson’s present property in Nyhyttan, not only for dam construction and dam foundations but also for canalisation and for the building of pumping and hoisting houses with machinery, all according to the proposal and drawings prepared by master builder C.J. Nilsson, and also for the roads necessary for the mining operations as well as, within the mining claims, for locations required for the general needs of mining. Security for the rights to land and water shall be provided at the next district court session through registration on the above-mentioned property.

In compensation for this transfer, which shall remain valid as long as the company continues its operations as a mining company, Brukspatron E.J. Jansson and his legal successors are assured that for thirteen shares in the company they shall be exempt from participation in the costs of the above-mentioned installations until the pumping and hoisting machinery have been brought down to the ore body in Krangruvan. Consequently, this cost shall be borne solely by the remaining eighty-seven shares of the company. Furthermore they shall personally, regardless of ownership of Brukspatron Jansson’s present property in Nyhyttan or parts thereof, receive henceforth two öre for every centner of ore extracted from the company’s own mines to which the company provides pumping or hoisting power, or both, the conditions for which shall be determined at the time of granting such power.

It has now been agreed between the parties that the land within the mining claim of Kallkällsgruvan that may be required for mining operations shall be valued at 70 riksdaler per tunnland.

Anyone not satisfied with this decision may submit an appeal to the Mining Authority if the complaint concerns the claim that the discovered deposit should not be subject to mining claims according to §1 of the Royal Mining Ordinance, or regarding the extent of the mining claim granted, within thirty days after receiving this document. In other matters relating to the mining claim proceedings, a dissatisfied party may pursue the case by summons before the district court of Färnebo in accordance with legal procedure.

As above

On behalf of the Authority
