SECRETARY: Cieovge Car Hand, Esq., 22, Abingdon street, West minster, and Eton, Windsor. SOLICITORS : Messrs Ashurst, Morris, & Co., 0, Old Jewry, E.C., London. PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in purchasing the Freehold of two Valuable Tracts of Land in the Wharekawa District, Province of Auck land. The extent of the property is 12.350 acres or lO^th square miles, and, as will be seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within 3J miles of Pukorokoro (a navigable creek on the Frith of Thames) opposite the Goldfields and Townships of Shortland. Grahamstown, Hastings, 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 possiblo advantage tlio Coal and other Minerals known to exist thereon, as also the construc tion and using of a Rail or Tramway in the vicinity thereof. COAL : The very valuable seam, cropping out in the creek at the Surrey Redoubt, has 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, Grahamstown, to be tested, :and the report of the engineer is ai>pended. . . The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing machi nery and other purposes, in the Province of Anck land, at piesen* amounts to about 100.000 tons yearly, and is largely on the increase owing to the continued erection of fresh quartz-crushing batteries, steam communication, projected railways throughout the Province, as, also, its rapidly increasing popula tions. This Company, from the close proximity of their property to the markots, will be able to supply coal 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 tho groat advantage of having a large market of skilled mining labour close at hand Report of the Engineer of the Hauraki Battery, at Grahamstown, on Sample of Wharekawa (Surface) Coal, 11th February, 1870:—"Nine cwt. Coal, 5-i hours good steam for battery, 7 head stampers A better Coal than Whangarei; no sulphur ;no clinkers; burns quick and fierce." J. Lowe, C.E., reports as follows:— EXTENT: am fully convinced that the Coal extends over most of the Company's ground, and that at least 7000 to 8000 acres will be a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of the easy dip of the Coal Seam »tthe outcrop (although not opened outsutticlently to arrive at a correct estimato of the greatest depth at which it will be found), and from past experience of Coalfields in Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, in England, during a period of about thirty years, I consider that the Coal should not bo very deep, even in tho centre of the Basin. QUALITY : "The Coal is very good at the outcrop, being much better than I expected at the surface, and will, no doubt, improve in quality and thickness as it goes down. The seam at the point from which the present sample is taken is about ten feet thick. It is more than usually strong and compact at the outcrop, and in comparison with the Kawakawa Coal is much superior to it, as taken from the present workings at a depth of one hundred and twenty-eight feei. 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 a3 'a'good house hold Coal. IRONSTONE : " Ironstone has been found on the surface, and from tests yield about 50 per cent, of Iron, and there can scarcely be a doubt but that Ironband will bo found (overlapping the Coal measure*. LIMESTONE : " Limestone is found on the surfacejof the Block, and is} apparently in large quantities. A valuable ilux for Iron is thus at hand, and it will be also available ■for building and agricultural purposes. TIMBBER : " The Block is well timbered with Kauri, Totara, and ojther useful Forest Trees extending to some hundreds of acres. QUALITY OF LAND : " The land, except where marked on the Plan as hilly, as of fair average quality, and will be available for agricultural purposes, the [swampy parts being easily drained will form tho richest portions. {flax : " Tljere is an extensivo Flax field on the ground. Tho flax is of the finest quality. WATER POWER : " TlioMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across the Company's land, having a, considerable declivity,, and I estimato that in tho dry season there is a bofly of water flowing of about fifteem millions of gallons per diem : (Signed) "JonN Lowe, C.E." ■ After careful calculation the Directors are fuUy assured that the coal from this mine can be delivered at the; Thames for 12s or 13s per ton, whereas the market value will be at least £1 per ton. The j Government main line of road and telegraph wires run the entire length of the property, and the latter i£ now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of !the Miranda Township), and across the Frith of Thames to the goldfields. RAILWAY. The I Company, purposes to construct a Railway from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorpkoi o, opposite to Grahamstown,) for tho con veyance of their coal to the shipping. This Rail or Tramway has been accurately surveyed, and found to be nine, miles in length, without any serious engineer ing difficulties to contend with. 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 North Island of New Zealand, the farm produce and local industries made available, and brought into direct communication with two great centres of popu lation in the province, viz., Auckland and Grahams town and the Thames and Coromandel Goldfields. 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 the" 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 als.o 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'fights to mine throughout the property. The Directors believing that large profitiHvill 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, &c, together with forms of applications for Shares, and any further information required, can be procured on application to the General Manager, at the Company's Oflice, Vaile's Buildings, Auckland. Where no allotment is made, tho deposits will be returned in full, and in some cases whero a smaller number of Shares is allotted than applied for, the extra deposit money will be appropriated towards the sum due 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, Yaile'a Buildings.
