The extent of the property is 12,380 acres or lE^.tn 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 Goldflelds and Townships of Shortland. Grahamstown, Hastings, and Coromandel, being distant^ from the two first-mentioned towns only about ten miles. j _ 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 fn the creek at the Surrey Redoubt, has beeii proved to be 10 feet in thickness, and has been traced for a considerable distance through the property, and from itsi 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 appended. ~ The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing, macni nery 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 tne continued erection of fresh qu?rtz-crushing batteries, steam communication, projected railways through.> v. the Province, as, also, its rapidly increasing popul- - tions. . ._ ~, .__, This Company, from the close proximity of their property to the markets, will be able to supply coal at a very low figure, and may, therefore, reasonably .UL calculate on obtaining a fair share of the trade of the Thames District, as well as of the Auckland ana coasting trado, besides which they will have the great 8 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. 3 hours good steam for battery, 7 head stampers A better Coal than Whangarei; no sulphur ;no chnkers aa. burns quick and fierce." J Lowe, C.E., reports as follows:— EXTENT: am fuUy 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 atthe outcrop (although not opened outsufficiently to arrive g 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 consider that the Coal should not be very deep, even in the 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 feet. The Coal is similar to the Wishaw Coal of Scotland, ana 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 told Coal. . ra,n . . 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 be found overlapping the Coal measures. .. • LIMESTONE : r " Limestone is found on the surface of 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. timbbek : j " The Block is well timbered with Kauri, Totara, I and other useful Forest Trees, extending to some I hundreds of acres. QUALITY OF LAND : " The land, except where marked on the Plan as hilly, is of fair average quality, and will be waUalMO for agricultural purposes, the swampy parts Deing easily drained will form the richest portions. "There is an extensive Flax field on the ground., j,. (l The flax is of the finest quality. . WATER POWER : arross " TheMangatangi (a valuable strea^ runs ?* the Company's land, having a conside»Du> and I estimate that in the there is Of water flowing of about fifteem millions o per diem • « John Lowe, C.E."

WOLFE S AROMATIC SCHEIDAM SCHNAPPS (Registered). It is an indisputable fact that the advantages of this perfectly pure beverage have now rendered it the most largely consumed of any imported spirit, the demand throughout the whole of the Australian colonies almost exceeding the capability of the proprietor to supply. Wolfe's Schnapps is now occupying- the place held j in past years by inferior brands of gereva, the medical profession testifying to its excellence over these and other adulterated spirits, including French brandy, in no less than TEN THOUSAND LETTERS, which are in the possession of the Manufacturer, all certifying to Its perfect purity and marked superiority over every Other stimulant as a diuretic, tonic, and .restorative. The Resident Physician of the Sydney Infirmary says :—"«I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a most excellent, stimulant and diuretic." I The Government Analytical Chemist, Melbourne, says:—As a sample of hollands gin, I do 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 Now Zealand.
