SECRETARY: George Cartland, Esq., 22, Abingdon streot, West minster, and Eton, Windsor. SOLICITORS: Messrs AshUvst, Morris, & Co., 0, Old Jewry, E.G., London. PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in purchasing tho Freehold of two Valuable Tracts of Land in the Wharekawa District, Province of Auck land. The extent of the property is 12,330 acres or 19f th square miles, and, as will be seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within Sj- 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 the Coal and other Minerals known to exist thereon, as also the construc tion and \ising 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 Inthickness, and has been traced for a considerable distance through the'property, and from its posit.jn 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 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 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 Oapipany, 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 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, llth February, 1870:-"Nine cwt. Coal, df 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.Boooacres will .be a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of tho easy dip of the Coal Seam at the outcrop (although not opened outsutficiently 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 consider that tho Coal should not be very deep, even in the centre of the Basin. • QUALITY : f'Tho Coal Is very good at the outcrop, being much better than I expected at the surface, and will, no doubt, improve in quaUty 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 preagnt workings at a depth of one hundred and twenty?fight feet. Tho Coal is similar to the Wishaw Coal of Scotland, and the Glanzohle of Germany, ahd 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 ia good house hold Coal. IRONSTONE : ''Ironsijme has beon found on the surface, and from, tests yield about,so 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 ls weU 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 peiage quality, and w^ll be available for agricultural* purposes, the swampy parts being easily drained will form the richest portions.' , FLAX:,, '•: ... " There is an extensivo Flax field on the ground. The flax is of the finest quaUty; _i _ai . ill .... WATER POWER : ' *• »'l I " TheMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across the Company's land,, having A considerable declivity, and I estimate that in tho dryseason there is a body of water flowing of about flft'eem' millions Of gallons per diem. (Signed) "John Lowe, CE. After' careful calculation the Directors aire fully assured that the coal from this mine can be delivered at..thevT>hames 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 the entire length of the property, and the latter Is now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of the Miranda Township), and across tho 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 Traipway has been accurately surveyed, and found to be-nirie 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 iniido available, and brought into direct communication with two great centresof popu lation in tho province, viz., Auckland and Grahams town and the Thames and Coromandel Goldfields.. r. " a:■ f GENERAL", IJTho 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 andthf surround ing settlers. The Company also purpose to lay out a Township at the mines, which will ttiixa a terminus-and depot, and which will be laid off in aUotments and offered to public compc|ition, ■■ the Company retaining all Minerals and rights to mine throughout the property. The Directors believing that latge 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 forriis of ajoplications forSh_u.es, and any further information required, can be procured on application to the General Manager, at the Company^ Oflice Vaile's Buildings, Auckland. Where no allotment is made, the deposits will be returfaed in fuU. and in some cases where a smaller number of Shares is allotted than appUedfor the extra_deposit money will be appropriated towards the aum due on aUotment. Applications for Shares in the annexed form, accom- [ panted by a remittance of £1 per Share, may be made Rankew or the General Manager. tW. A.
