SECRETARY: George Cartland, Esq., 22, Abingdon street, West minster, and Eton, Windsor. SOLICITORS : Messrs Ashurst, Morris, & Co., C, Old Jewry, E.C., London. PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in purchasing the Freehold of two Valuablo Tracts of Land in the Wharekawa District, Province of Auck land. The extent of the property is 12,330 acres or 19!jth 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 possible advantage tho Coal and other Minerals known to exist thereon, as also tho construc tion and using of a Rail or Tramway in the vicinity thereof. COAL : The very valuable seam, cropping out in tho 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 tho "Hauraki " Battery, Grahamstown, to be tested, and the report of the engineer is appended. ' The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing machi nery and other purposes, in the Province of Auck land., at piesent amounts to about 100.000 tons yearly, and is largely on the increaso owing to the continued erection of fresh quartz-crushing batteries, I steam communication, projected railways throughout the Province, as, also, its rapidly Increasing popula tions. This Company, from tho close proximity of their property to the markets, 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 tho Thames District, as well as of tlie Auckland and coasting trade, besides which they will have tho great advantage of having a largo market of skilled mining labour close at hand Report of tho Engineer of the Hauraki Battery, at Grahamstown, on Samplo of Wharekawa (Surfaco) Coal, nth February, 1870:-"Nino cwt. Coal, 5J hours good steam for battery. 7 head stampors A better Coal than Whangarei; no sulphur ;no clinkors; burns quick and fiorce." J; Lowe, C.E., reports as follows:— EXTENT : am fully convinced that tho Coal extends over most of the Company's ground, and that at least 7000 to 8000 acres will bo a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of tho easy dip of tho Coal Seam atthe outcrop (although not opened ontsulticiently to arrive at a correct estimate of tho greatest depth at which it will bo found), and from past experience of Coalfields in Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, in England, during a pfcriod of about thirty years, I consider that the Coal should not be very deep, even in tho- centre of the Basin. QUALITY : . . '■■ "The Coal ls 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 tlie present sample is taken is about ten feet thick. It is moro 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 feet. The Coal is similar to the Wishaw Coal of Scotland, and tho Glanzohle of Germany, and contains about - seventy-five per cent, of combustible matter. Tho amount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very small makes it Very suitable for Smelting and Engine purposes; and it will also be usoful as a good house hold Coal. IRONSTONE : 1 . "Ironstone has been found on tho 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 measures. LIMESTONE : , r, " Limestone Is found on the surfacejof the Block, and is apparently In large quantities. A valuable flux for Iron is thus at hand, and it will be also available for buildlrig and agricultural purposes. TIMBBER : • "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 jswampy parts being easily drained will form the richest portions. Jflax : " There is an extensive Flax field on the ground. The flax is of the Shest quality. WATER POWER : ■■" ThoMangatangi (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 flftcem 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 12s 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 tlie entire length of the property, and the latter is now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of tho Miranda Township), and across the Frith of Thames to the goldfields. RAILWAY. The Company purposes to construct a Railway from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorokoi o, opposite to Grahamstown,) for the con veyance of their coal to the shipping. This Rail or Trahiway 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 td: Mercer, or five to the waters of the Wai , kato, would open up one of the finest districts in the I North Island of New Zealand, the farmproduco 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 tho Thames and Coromandel Goldfiolds. ~ 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 qonsiderable 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 huge 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, &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. ci 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 sum due on allotment. Applications for Shares in the annexed form, accom panied by a remittance of £1 per Share, may be made to the BfttiHeJra of tho General Manager. ' . W. A.
