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 tend. The extent of the property is 12,380 acres or 19Jth ■quare .miles, and, as will be seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within 3J miles of Pukorokoro (a ■avigable creek on the Frith of Thames) opposite the Gsidflelds and Townships of Shortland, Grahamstown, Hastings, and Coromandel, being distant from the two first-mentioned towns only about ten n.ifcs. The Company has for its object the developing to the greatest possible advantage the 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 am 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 appended. The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing finachi ■ery and other purposes, in the Province of Auck land, at piesent amounts to about 100.000 tons yearly, and is largely on the increase owing to the' continued erection of fresh quartz-crushing batteries, •team communication, projected railways throughout the Province, as, also, its rapidly increasing popula tions. Thi3 Company, from the close proximity of their property to the markats, will be able to supply coal at • 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 great 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, 6£ 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 moat 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 at the outcrop (although not opened out sufficiently to arrive at a correct estimate 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 oonslder that the Coal should not bo very deep, even is the centre of the Basin. ( QUALITY : ' ■ ty 44 The Coal is very good at the outciop. being much better than I expected at tho surface, and will, no doubt, improve in quality and thickness as it goes dewn. The seam at the point from which the present •ample is taken ia 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 * 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 ■eventy-flve per cent, of combustible matter. The amount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very ■mall makes it very suitable for Smelting and Engine purposes, and it will also bo useful as a good house bold Coal. IRONSTONE : " Ironstone has been found on the surface, and from tests yield about 60 per cent, of Iron, and there oan scarcely be a doubt but that Ironband will be found overlapping the Coal measures. LIMESTONE : " Limestone is found on the surfaceZof the Block, and is apparently in large quantities. A valuable flux for Iron is thus at hand, and it will be also available for building and agricultural purposes. > TIMBBEB : " The Block is well timbered with Kauri, Totara, and other useful Forest Trees extending to some 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. TLAX: " There is an extensive Flax field on the ground. The flax is of the finest quality. WATER POWER : " TheMangatangl (a valuable stream) runs across the Company^ land, having a considerable declivity, and I estimate that in the dryseason there is a body of water flowing of about flfteem millions of gallons per diem (Signed) " John Lowe, C.E." After careful calculation the Directors are fnlly assured that the coal from this mine can be delivered nt the Thames for 12s or 13s per ton, whereas the market value will be at least £1 per ton. The Government main lino of road #nd telegraph wires run the entire length, of the property, and the latter is now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of the Miranda Township), and across the Frith of Thames to the goldflelds. RAILWAY. The Company purposes to construct a. Railway from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorokoio, 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 tho province, viz., Auckland and Grahams town and the 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 the land ; and, apart from the carriage of their own coal and timber, the Directors fairly anticipate a considerable traffic from their own and the 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 large profits will arise from the development of this Estate have privately taken up Shareß to the value of £25,000. Prospectuses, Reports frofc 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 Office,' Vaile's Buildings, Auckland. Where no allotment is made, the deposits will be returned in full, and in some cases where a smaller number of Shares is allotted than applied for, the extra deposit money will be appropriated towards the urn due on allotment.
