PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in purchasing the Freehold of two Valuable Tracts of Land La the Wharekawa District, Province of Auck land. The extent of the property is 12,330 a«res or 10; th square miles, and, as will t-e seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within 'i\ miles of Pukorokoro (a narieable creek on the Frith of Thames) opposite the Geldfields and Townships of Shortland. Grahamstown, Hasting, and Coromandel, being distant from the two first-mentioned towns only about ten miles. The Company has for its object the developing to the greatest possible advantage the Coal and other Minerals kno'.vE to exist thereon, v also the construc tion and usin» of a Kail or Tramway in the vicinity thereof. COAL : The very valuable seam, cropping oat in the creek at the Surrey Redoubt, bis been proved to be 10 feet in thickness," and has been traced for a considerable distance through the property, and from its positien can be easily and economically worked, and the supply is limited only by the demand. A small parcel was forwarded to the " Hauraki " Battery, < Jrahanistown, to be tested, and the report of the engineer is appended. The consumption of Coal for quartz-crashing machi nery and other purposes, in the Province of Auck land, at piesen' amounts to about lOO.'jOO tons yearly, aud is large!}- on the increase owinj: to the continued erection of fresh qn?rU-crasbing batteries, steam communication, projected railways throughout the Province, as, also, its rapidly increasing popula tions. Thu Company, from the clos? proximity of their property to the markets, will be able to supply coil at a very low figure, and may, therefore, reasonably calculate on obtaining a fair share of the trade of the Thames District, as well as of the Auckland and coasting trade, besides which they will have the jrreat advantage of havir:;* a large market ol skilled mining labour close at hand • Eeport of the Engineer of the Hauraki Battery, at Graharostcwn, on sample of Wharekawa (.Surface) Coal, 11th February, 1-70:—" Nine cwt. Coal, ij hoars good steam for batter.-. 7 head stampere A better Coal than Whanirarei ; no sulphur ; no clinkers; bums '{'.lick and fierce." J Love, C.E., reports as follows :— KXTKNT: " I am fully convinced that the Coal extends over most of the Company's ground, and that at least 7000 to SOOO acres will be a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance oi the easy dip of the Gjiil Seam at the outcrop (although not of ened out sufficiently to arrive at a correct estimate of tiie greatest depth at which it will be found), and from past experience of Coiitelds in Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire,aud Staffordshire, in England, during' a period of about thirty years, I consider that the Coal should not be very deep, even in the centre of the Basin. QUALITY : " The Coal is very eood at the outcrop, being much better than I expected at the surface, and will, no doubt, improve in quality and thickces3 as it goes down. The seam at the point from which thj^jesent sample is taken is about ten feet thick * If^yhfire than usually strong and compact at the outcrop?&S& in comparison with the Kawakawa Coal is much superior to it, as taken from the present working at a depth of one hundred and twenty-eight feet. The Coal is similar to the Wishaw Coal of Scotland, and the Glanzohle of Germany, and contains about seventy-five per cent, of combustible matter. The amount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very small makes it very suitable for Smelting and Engine purposes, and it will also be useful as a good house hold CoaL IRONSTONE : " Ironstone has been found on the surface, and from test 3 yield about 50 per cent, of Iron, and there can scarcely be a doubt but that Ironband will be found overlapping the Coal measures. LIMESTONE : "Limestone is found on the surface of the Block, and is apparently in large quantities. A valuable iiux for Iron is thus at hand, and it will be also available for building and agricultural purposes. TIiIBEK : " The Block is well timbered with Kauri, Totara, and other useful Forest Trees extending to » :ae hundreds of acres. QUALITY OF LAND : "The Land, except where marked on the Plan as hilly, is of fair average quality, and will be available for agricultural purposes. The swampy parts being easily drained will form the richest portions. FLAX : " There is an extensive Flax field on the ground. The Flax is of the finest quality. WATER POWER : " The Mangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across the Company's land, having a considerable declivity, and I estimate that in the dry season there is a body of water flowing of about fifteem millions of gallons per diem (Signed) "John- Lowe, C.E, After careful calculation the Directors are fully assured that the coal from this mine can be delivered at the Thames for 123 or 13s per ton, whereas the market value will be at least £1 per ton. The Government main line of road and telegraph wires run the entire length of the property, and the latter 13 now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of the Miranda Township), and across the Frith of Thames to the goWtelds. iIAILWAY. The Company purposes ta construct a Railway from the coal mine tc the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorokoi o, opposite to Grahamstown,) for the con veyance of their coal to the shipping. This Bail or Tramway has been accurately surveyed, and found to be nine miles in length, without any serious engineer ing difficulties to contend with. i By the extension of this line about nine miles 'further to Mercer, or five to the waters of _ the Wai kato, would open up one of the finest districts in the Nimn Island of New Zealand, the farm produce and lO^pFindustrie3 made available, and brought into dims* communication with two great centres of popu lation in the province, viz., Auckland and Grahams town and tho Thames and Coromandel Goldflelds. GENERAL the Directors eventually purpose laying out about 6,000 acres—not required for coal, timber, or flax—in small farms, in order to encourage bona fide settlement on tho land ; and, apart from the carriage of their own coal and timber, the Directors fairly anticipate a considerable traffic from their own and tho surround ing settlers. The Company also purpose to lay out a Township at the mines, which will form a terminus and depot, and which will be laid off in allotments and offered to public competition, the Company retaining all Minerals and rights to mine throughout the property. The Directors believing that laige profits will arise from the development of this Estate have privately taken up Shares to the value of £25,000. Prospectuses, Reports from Mining and other En gineers, with estimated cost of Railway, <fee, together with forms of applications forShaxes, and any further information required, can be procured on application to the General Manager, at the Company's Olhce, Vaile's Buildings, Auckland. Where no allotment is mado, the deposits will be roturncd in full, aud in seme cases where a smaller number of Shares is allotted than applied for, tho extra, deposit money will be appropriated towards the sum iltte on allotment. Applications for Shares in the annexed form, accom panied by a remittance of £1 per Share, may be made to tho Bankers or tho General Manager. W. A. GRAHAM, Vaile's Buildings.':

Wolfe's Schnapps is now occupying the place held in past years by inferior brands of geneva, the medical profession testifying to its excellence over these and other adulterated spirits, including French brandy, in 6&S TEN THOUSAND LETTERS, which are in the possession of the jnanufacturer, all certifying to its perfect purity and marked superiority over every other stimnlant as a ciuretic, tonic, and restorative. _ The Resident Physician of the sydney Infirmary says :—" I have no hesitation in st&tingthatl consider your Schnapps a most excellent stimulant and diuretic." ! The Government Analytical Chemist. Melbourne, gays :—As a sample of Hollands gin, Ido not think it can be surpassed. It may be recommended for use in hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant"' CAUTION. ■ : An injunction against the sale of a counterfeited article has recently been granted in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, under a penalty of £30,000 ; and we are instructed, with a view to pro tect the public, to prosecute any one offering for sale any imitation of the genuine brand, for which we are the sole Whosale Agents for the whole of Australia and'Nerw Zealand. 1 . : • L.
