PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in . purchasing the Freehold of two Valuable Tracts of . Land in the Wharekawa District, Province of Auok land. The extent of the property is 12,380 acres or 10!}-th square miles, and, as will be seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within 3} miles of Pukorokoro (a navigable creek on the Frith of Thames) opposite the Goldflelds and Townships of Shortland. Graliamstown, Hastings, and Coromanrlel, 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 using of a Rail or Tramway in the vicinity thereof. COAL : 7he very valuable seam, cropping out in the creek at the Surrey Kedoubt, 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 the " Hauraki " Battery, Grahamstown, to bo 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 piesen* 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 mark«ts, will be able to supply coal at a very low figure, and may, therefore, reasonably calculate on obtaining a fair share of tlio trade of the Thames District, as well as of tho Auckland and coasting trade, besides which they will have tho 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 (Surfaco) • Coal, llth February, 1870 :—" Nine cwt. Coal, 54 hours good steam for battery, 7 head stampers A better Coal than Wharigarei; no sulphur ;uo clinkers burns quick and fierce." J Lowe, C.E., reports as follows :— EXTENT: im fully convinced that the Coal extends over most of the Company's ground, and that at least 7000 to 8000 acros will be a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of the easy dip of the Coal Seam at the outcrop (although not opened outsutficiently to nrrive at a correct estimate of the greatest deptli at which it will be found), and from pa3t 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 i doubt, improve in quality and thickness as it goes down. The seam at the point from which the present sample is taken is a*bout 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 AVishaw Coal of Scotland, and the Glanzohle of Germany, and contains about seventy-five per cent, of combustible matter. The amount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very i small makes it very suitable for Smelting and Engine ; purposes, and it will also be useful as a good house hold Coal. IRONSTONE : "Ironstone has been found on the surface, and from tests yield about GO por 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 surfacojof 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. I TIMBBER: " The Block is well timbered with Kauri, Totara, and other useful Forest Trees extending to some hundrods of acres. QUALITY OV LAND : I " Tho land, excopt 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. [FLAX : " There is an extensive Flax field on the ground. The (lax is of the finest quality. WAT Kit POWER : '< " TheMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across tho Company's land, having a considerable declivity, and I estimate that in tho dry season there is a body of water flowing of about fifteem 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 the ontire length of the property, and the latter is now completed us far as Pukorokoro (proposed site of the Miranda Township), and across the Frith Of Thames to tho goldflelds. : RAILWAY. : Tho 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 Tramway has been accurately surveyed, and found to be nine miles in length, without any serious engineer ing difficulties to contend with. I 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 the finest districts in tfce 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 Goldflelds. GENERAL The Directors eventually purpose laying out about 0,000 acres -not required for coal, timber, or flax—in small farms, in order to encourage bona flde 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 tho mines, which will form a terminus and depot, and which will be laid off in allotments and offered, to public competition, tho 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 bo procured on application to "the General Manager, at the Company's Oflice, 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 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 Bankers or the General Manager. . " , if, A.

DE BETGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorou3 r with the Vegetable Alkaloids ' Quinia, Cypriptden, Xanthoxylin, <L-c, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Charles Leslie Bktoht.M.D., Resident Surge6n to St. Mary's Hospital London. : , This Phosphat.ic combination is pronounced by the most eminent members of the Medical Profession to be unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body, by its supplying all the essential'con stituents of tlie blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the powers and functions of the system to the highest degree. ■ It is agreeable to the palate and innocent in its action, while retaining all its extraordinary properties, and as a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for the speedy and permanent cure of- Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical ue- Noises in the head and ears prewsion Loss'of energy and appetite Consumption (in its mcl- Hypochondria pient or first stage 3 only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin , General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion ..••. ■ Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Sick headache stages Lassitude Premature decline Shortness of the breath and all morbid conditions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action- of the Phosphodyne is twofold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous energy, and on the other1, the most powerful blood and flesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for" re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. ,It quickly improves the function of assimilation to such a degree-1 that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increac? in quantity and firmness, and the whole system return to a state of robust health. . . . : The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon the organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which renews and rebuilds .the the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, • and organic systems. It operates on the system, without exciting care or thougM upon the individual as_ to the process.' It moves I the lungs, liver., heart, kidneys, , stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled in medicine. ■ The Phosphodydne gives back to the human struc ; ture, in suitable form, the phosphoric or animating ' element of,lifeiwhich.has been wasted, and exerts!an important influence directly on the spinal marrow anj4 : nervous system, of ,a nutritive, tonic, .and invigorating ■ character ;' maintaining that buoyant energy of the , brain and muscular system which renders the mind : cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely, overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons' experience in all their actions. ; The beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are fre jquently; shown f,rpm £he first day of its administration ;by a remarkable' increase of nervous power, with ,&, Reeling of vigour and comfort to which the patient.has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the appetite increases wonderfully; .the bowels become regular,; the eyoa brighter; the skin, clear. aiid :healthy • and the hair'acquires strength, showing the ■importance, of the action of the Phosphodyne on the organs of nutrition! Finally, the Phosphodyne. maintains a certan degree of activity in the previously debilitated nervous system ; its use enables all delibihitfed organs to .return ,to their sound state and perform their natural func tions. Persons suffering from Nervous Debility^,or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by .the. judicious use of this most nvaluable remedy. .j DR. BRIQHT'S.PHOSPHODYNE Is sold only in cases at £1 Is, containing two bottles; ' and £2 ss, containing five bottles. Also in family ■ cases at £5, containing sixteen bottles..

Sir Wm. Ferguson, Bart.; F.R.S.; Surgeon to Her Majesty the Queen; says:—" I have repeatedly pTe. scribed Dr. Bright's Phosphodyne, and .found it'ah agreeable and beneficial remedy.. I have but one ob jection regarding it, and that is 'the elaborate' process required in the .preparation will not?; sallow: of i the retail prices being within the reach, of all classes.". :, Dr. Lancaster, the eminent' Coroner, says:—f pr .. Bright's Phosphodyne is calculated to entirely supet* ' • sede iron, mercury, sarsaparilla; quinine, and cod-Bj? *7 oil." .......... ■ oi-v Dr. R. Quain, F.R.C.P., Physician to the Hospi«? ' for Consumption, Brornpton, remarks:—" It canno^jbe doubted that this Phosphatic preparation .will hence forth rank foremost in therapeutics ; it generates all the important elements of the; human. frame; ■• _the peculiar character of this substance fitting it ..for vital uses." Sir T. ■ Lawrence .says:—" I have found Dr. Bright's . r Phosphodyne an excellent remedy in skin diseases.-11-*" I presume it is by oxydisation." . .* , n Professor Syme Bays:—"The effects of the Pnosl- phodyne in obstinate cases of disease are as astonish l ing as perplexing." • Dr. Hanfield Jones, F.R.C.P., F.R.S.. Physician td St. Mary's Hospital, says, in Athropy and General Debility Phosphodyne is a most admirable remedy; it invigorates the nutritive functions, and increases the vital energy—"it not only acts as an absorbent,! but retards or repairs tlie waste of tissue, and restores the nutritive functions to their normal condition. ' The Laiiwt, considers, the Phosphodyne one of the most important contributions made to Materia Medica during the last century. r ■no Pamphlets containing Testimonials maybe obtained 0 ' from all Chemists and TJp-Country Storekeepers, ft1 i BS~ Caution.—Be particular <jo ask for Dr. Bright s Phosphodyne, as .Imitations' are abroad; and avoid purchasing Single Bottles, the Genuine Article being sold in cases only.L-. .. >. .. •' j Wholesale Agents for New Zealand :— KEMPTHOKNE, PROSSER, &Co. .
