PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in £urchasing the Freehold of two Valuable Tracts of and 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 3.J 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 ton miles. The Company has for its object the developing to the greatost 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 position 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 bo tested, and the report of the engineer is appended. The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing machi-, ntry and other purposes, in tlie 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, . 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 markets, 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, llih February, 1870 .--"Nine cwt. Coal, _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 bo a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of the easy dip of the Coal Seam at the outcrop (although not opened outsufficiontly to arrive at a correct estimate of the greatest depth at which it will be found), and from past experience of Coalfields In Lancashire, Cheshiro, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, in England, during a period of about thirty years, I oonsider that tho 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 tho surface, and will, no doubt, improve in quality and thickness as it goes ' down. The seam at tho 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, and the Glanzohle of Germany, and contains about Beventy-flvo per cent, of combustible matter. Tho •mount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very small makes it very suitable for Smelting and Engine Eurposes, and it will also be useful as a good house old Coal. IRONSTONE : " Ironstone has been found on the surfaoe, and from teats 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 flux 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 othor useful Forest Trees extending to some hmndreds of acres. QUALITY OF LAND i " The land, except where marked on the Plan as hilly, la of tAir average quality, and wUI 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. Tbe flax is of the finest quality. WATER POWER : ' " TheMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across the Company's land, having a considerable declivity^ __d I estimate that in the dryseason there is a body , of water flowing of about fifteem millions of gallons per diem. (Signed) "John Lowe, C.E. 'ilAfter oareful calculation the Directors are fully ••cured that the coal from this mine can be delivered at the Thames for 12s or 13s per ton, whereas the market value wiU be at least £1 per ton. The Government main line of road and telegraph wires run tho entire length of the property, and the Utter is now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of the Miranda Township), and across the Frith of Thames to the goldfields. RAILWAY. 4 Tho Company purposes te construct a Railway from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorokoio, opposite to Grahamstown,) for the 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 tho Wai kato, would open up one of tho 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 acre_—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 coniiderable 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 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 Managor, at the Company's Office, Vaile's Buildings, Auckland. Whew ao 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 ■am due on allotment. AppUeattona for Shares in the annexed f oral, aocom- T^E* 1-!.7 ? rem"tance of £1 per Share, maybe made to the Bankers or the General Manager. W. ABRAHAM, Vaile's Bulldlnga. '
