SOLICITORS : Messrs Aahurat, Movris, & Co.. 6, Old Jewry, E.C., London. PROSPECTUS: The Directors of this Company have succeeded in purchasing the 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 19j}th 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 mjfcs. 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 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 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 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 closn 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, nth February, 1870.--"Nine cwt. Coal, fii hours good steam for battery, 7 head stampers A better Coal than Whangarei; no sulphur ;no clinkers burns qxiick and fierce." 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 be a good workable Coalfield. From the appearance of the easy dip of the Coal Seam at the outcrop (although not opened outsufficiently 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 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 letter 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, and the Glanzohlo of Germany, and contains about seventy-five per cent, of combustible matter. The amount of Sulphur contained in this Coal being very •mall 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 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, Mid 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 other useful Forest Trees extending to some kundreds 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 swampy parts being •asily drained will form the richest portions. JfLAX: "There is an extensive Flax field on the ground. The flax is of the finest quality. WATER POWER : " TheMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across the Company's land, Having a considerable declivity, and 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. 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" £l 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 the Frith •f Thames to the goldflelds. /RAILWAY. The Company purposes ta construct a Railway from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda (Pukorokoio, opposite to Grahamstown,) for tho con veyance of their coal to the shipping. This ltail or Tramway has been accurately surveyed, and found to lie nine miles in length, without any serious engineer ing difficulties to contend with. By the extension of this lire 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 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 8,000 acres-not required for coal, timber, or flax—in •mail farms, in order to encourage bona fide settlement on the land ; and, apart from the carriage of their #wn coal and timber, the Directors fairly anticipate a eontiderable traffic from their own and the surround , Ing settlers. !! > The/Company also purpose to lay out a Township at the inines, which will form a terminus and depot, and which will be laid off in allotments and offered to public competition, the Company retaining all mif ra ™ d rights to mine throughout the property. .
