PEOSPECTTJS OF THE AUCKLAND IRON AND STEEL COM PANY (Limited). To be Incorporated under the Joint Stock Companies Aot, 1880. CAPITAL—£IOO,OOO, in 100,000 Shap.es op £1 each. Provisional Directobs : John Henderson, C.E. (Engineer for Messrs Brogden and Son), Wellington Thomas T. Masefteld (Masefield and Co., Engineers), Auckland William Lodder, Engineer, Auckland F. M. P. Brookfield, Auckland Robert J. Creighton, Auckland. Solicitors : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. Bankers : Bank of New Zealand. Secretary : John Mowbray. The object of this Company is to utilize the Iron Stone and Iron Sand which abound in this Province, by converting them into cast iron and malleable steel iron, by the process of manufacture successfully tried at Onehunga by the original promoters of the Com pany. Samples of their iron have been submitted to the severest tests by practical mechanics, and invariably pronounced to be equal ir. grain and toughness to the best Lowmoor and Swedish iron. It is proposed to raise sufficient capital for the purchase of machinery, and for the erection of the necessary plant and buildings, at a site to be deter mined as being most convenient for obtaining a supply of the Iron Sand, Iron Ore, and Coal. A careful esti mate has been made of the cost of a plant suited for the purpose of manufacturing Pig Iron, and Mer chants.Bar Iron, together with land and buildings: and the amount is £15,000. The whole of the machinery can be supplied in Auckland. This would include :— 1 High-pressure Steam Engine, 100-horse power nominal 1 Hot-blast Furnace, complete; c Puddling Furnances 2 Mill Furnaces ; 1 Rolling Mill, 10-inch train 1 Steam Hammer ; 3 Coke Ovens 2 Pair Shears ; 1 Straightening Press Land, Buildings, Freight, Commissions, and Contingent Expenditure. The Plant, as enumerated, would be sufficient as a beginning, and would admit of extension at any time. The following is an estimate of the weekly produc tion of finished Bar Iron, leaving out of calcxilation altogether the yield of Pig Iron from the Blast Fur nace—an estimate founded upon experience • - Five Puddling Furnaces, working five days per week (one day idle for fettling, &c), and 1 spare Furnace, 50 tons. Return in cash, at £16 per ton, £800. Wages per week—Puddling per ton, including helper. 255, £C 2 10s ; Shinglers, ditto ditto, £12 10s ; Rollers, ditto ditto, 4s, £10 ; Engineers, £12 ; Stokers, £4— £16 ; two Forge Labourers, £4 ; 75 tons Coal, £150 ; Raw Material, at per ton, 4 s, £100 ; Management, Contingencies, Oilice Rent, ooar and Tear, &c, £100. Total, £455— 0r, Dr. 50 tons Merchant Bar Iron, per week, at £16 per ton £800 0 0 Cr. Wages, Management, Interest, Coal, Raw Material, &c 455 0 0



Showing a weekly profit of .. 345 0 0 Or, £17,940 per annum. It will be seen that no account is taken of the profits from the iron produced by the Blast Furnace which it is proposed to erect, capable of making ten tons of pig iron daily. This item, however, will add considerably to the profits of the undertaking. The raw material is estimated in excess of what it is likely to cost; and, with regard to coal, which is estimated to cost £2 per ton, it has been ascertained that Buller River Coal, Waikato, and Bay of Islands Coal could be delivered at the works at £110s per ton, with certainty. But a most valuable seam of coal having been discovered close by the site of the pro posed works, the saving on that item will necessarily be' very great. The Promoters have secured the right to use all Iron Sand and Iron Stone within the Manakau Harbour, the property of the Crown, free of royalty. There is an unlimited supply of Iron Sand and Haematite Iron Ore, as well within as without the Manakau Heads; and the Provincial Government have by letter expressed their readiness to lease in terms of the Public Reserves Act any portion of the West Coast line under Provincial control which the Promoters of the Company may require in the pro secution of their enterprise. Th<j price of Bar Iron is estimated above at £16 per ton, the lowest price at which it has ever been sold for in Auckland being from £14 to £16 per ton. The current rate is £20 per ton cash; £22 per ton at three months; and the general tendency is upwards. The cost of producing Merchant Bar Iron is, after making the most liberal allowance for expenses of all kinds, £10 per ton. Taking the iron as selling on the spot for £16 per ton., a large and certain return is assured. The demand for Iron is daily increasing owing to the extension of railways, mining, ship building, and other branches of manufacturing in dustry. The certainty of finding a market for all that can be produced need not therefore be doubted. As a legitimate investment for" capital, Shares in the Auckland Iron and Steel Company, Limited, are without a rival. It is altogether free from the specu lative uncertainty of goldmining. The supply of the raw material of manufacture being on the surface, renders it less costly to procure that any other mineral deposit, while the demand for the manufac tured article is, practically, without a limit. 50,000 Shares of the proposed Jcapital of the Com pany are offered to the public.,^.2s.'6d. per Share deposit to be paid on application ; 2s Gd. per Share on allotment; and ss. per Share^vithin six months from allotment, in calls not exceeding 2s. Cd. The remaining 10s. is to be called up (if required) in calls not exceeding 2s. 6d. eachj at periods of not less than two months. It is proposed to pay to the Promoters, as soon as he Co mpany is in a position to erect machinery, the ?sum of £2,000 in cash, and on allotment 8,000 fully paid-up Shares ; the remaining 42,000 Shares to be held in trust for the Company. The Promoters bind themselves not to place their Shares on the market until the plant is in working order ; and engage to assist in carrying on the works after the start, at a salary to be agreed upon with the Directors, and to convey to the Company for its use their rights and privileges in a Patent for the working of Iron Sand and Iron Ore. applied for by them. On one-fourth of the required capital being sub scribed, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will be convened to elect a Board of Directors and pass Rules for the management of the Company, and also to make arrangements for the vigorous prosecution of the works. The Provisional Board of Directors is principally composed of practical men, who, having satisfied themselves, give ttieir services to further this national undertaking. - • Applications for Shares made to the Company's Secretary, Mr. John Mowbray, No. 44, Queen-street, Auckland, up to the 14th day of March, 1873, will be numbered as received, and Shares allotted on approval by the Directors, immediately after tho jreceipt of Southern applications.

DE BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorous, with the Vegetable Alkaloids fQuinia, Cypripeden, Xanthoxylin, dec, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Charles Leslie Bright, M.D.,*Kesident Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital London. This Phosphatic combination is pronounced by the most eminent members of the Medical Profession to be unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying all the essential con stituents of the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the powers and functions of the system to the highest degree. It is agreeable to the palate and innocent in its action, while retaining all its extraordinary properties, and as a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of- Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical de- Noises in the head and ears pression Loss of energy and|appetite Consumption (in its mci Hypochondria pient or first stages only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Sick headache stages Lassitude Premature decline Shortness of the breath and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is twofold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other, the most powerful blood and flesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine_ for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon the organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds the the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates on the system without exciting care or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. The Phosphodydne gives back to the human struc ture, in suitable form, the phosphoric or animating element of life which has been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions.
