CAPITAL—£IOO,OOO, in 100,000 SHARKS OP £1 each. Provisional Directors : John Henderson. C.K. (Engineer for Messrs Brogden and Son), Wellington „.,._, s Thomas T. Masefteld (Masetteld and Co., Engineers), Auckland William Ladder, Engineer, Auckland P, M. P. Brookfield, Auckland Robert.). Croighton, Auckland. Solicitous : Messrs Whitaker and Russell. Bankers : Bank of New Zealand. Secretary : John Mowbray. The object of this Company is to utilize the Iren Stone and Iron Sand which abound in this Province, by converting them into cast iron and malleable steel iron, by the process of manufacture successfully tried at Onehunga by the original promoters of the Corn- Samples of their iron have been submitted to the severost tests by practical mechanics, and invariably pronounced to be equal in grain and toughness to the best Lowmoor and Swedish iron. It is proposed to raise sufficient capital for the purchase of machinery, and for the erection of the necessary plant and buildings, at a site to be deter mined as being most convenient for obtaining a supply of the Iron Sand, Iron Ore, and Coal. A careful esti mate has been made of the cost of a plant suited for tho purpose of manufacturing Pig Iron, and Mer chants Bar Iron, together with land and buildings: and the amount is £15,000. The whole of the machinery can be supplied in Auckland. This would include :— 1 High-pressure Steam Engine, 100-horse power nominal ~,. 1 Hot-blast Furnace, complete; C Puddling Furnances 2 Mill Furnaces ; 1 Rolling Mill, 10-inch train 1 Steam Hammer ; 3 Coke Ovens 2 Pair Shears ; 1 Straightening Press Land, Buildings, Freight, Commissions, and Contingent Expenditure. The Plant, as enumerated, would be sufficient as a boginning, and would admit of extension at any time. Tho following is an estimate of the weekly produc tion of finished Bar Iron, leaving out of calculation altogether the yield of Pig I>-on from the Blast Fur nace—an estimate founded upon experience '■■■■ Five Puddling Furnaces, working live days »er week (one day idle for fettling, &c), and 1 spare Furnace, f)0 tons. Return in cash, at £10 per ton, .£BOO. Wages per week—Puddling per ton, including helper, 255, £02 10s ; Shinglers, ditto ditto, £12 10s ; Rollers, ditto ditto, -is, £10 ; Engineers, £12 : Stokers, £4— £16 ; two Forge Labourers, £4 ; T"> tons Coal, £150 ; Raw Material, at per ton, 40s, £100: Management, Contingencies, Oilice Kent, Wear and Tear, &o, £100. Total, £4. r ; f>—or, Dit. 50 tons Merchant Bar Iron, per week, at £10 per ton £300 0 0 CR, Wages, Management. Interest, Coal, Raw Material, &o. 455 0 0 Showing a weekly profit of .. 345 0 0 Or, £17,940 per annum. It will be seen that no account is taken of the profits from the iron produced by the Blast Furnace which it is proposed to erect, capable of making ten tons of pig iron daily. This item, however, will add considerably to the profits of the undertaking. The raw material is estimated in excess of what it is likely to cost; and, with regard to coal, which is estimated to cost £2 per ton, it has been ascertained that Buller River Coal, Wnikato, and Bay of Islands Coal could be delivered at the works at £110s per ton. with certainty. But a most valuable seam of coal having been discovered close by the site of the pro posed works, the saving on that item will necessarily be very great. The Promoters have secured the right to use all Iron Sand and Iron Stone within the Manakau Harbour, the property of the Crown, free of royalty. There is an unlimited supply of Iron Sand and Hfumatite Iron Ore, as well within as without the Manakau Heads; and the Provincial Government have by letter expressed their readiness to lease in terms of the Public Reserves Act any portion of the West Coast line under Provincial control which the Promoters of the Company may require in the pro secution of their enterprise. The price of Bar Iron is estimated above at £1(5 per ton, the lowest price at which it has ever been sold for in Auckland being from £14 to £10 per ton. The current rate is £20 per ton cash ; £22 per ton at three months ; and the general tendency is upwards. The cost of producing Merchant Bar Iron is, after making the most liberal allowance for expenses of all kinds, £10 per ton. Taking the iron as selling on the spot for tIG per ton. a large and certain return is assured. The demand for Iron is daily increasing owing to the extension of railways, mining, ship building, and other branches of manufacturing in dustry. Tho certainty of finding a market for all that can be produced need not therefore be doubted. As a legitimate investment for capital, Shares in the Auckland Iron and Steel Company, Limited, are without a rival. It is altogether free from the specu lative uncertainty of goldmining. The supply of the raw material of manufacture being on the surface, renders it less costly to procure that any other mineral deposit, whiie the demand for the manufac tured article is, practically, without a limit. 50,000 Shares of the proposed capital of the Com pany are ottered to the public. 2s. 6d. per Share deposit to be paid on application ; 2s (id. per Share on allotment; and ss. per Share within six months from allotment, in calls not exceeding 2s. (id. The remaining 10s. is to be called up (if required) in calls not exceeding 2s. (id. each, at periods of not less than two months. It is proposed to pay to the Promoters, as soon as the Company is in a position to erect machinery, the sum of £2,000 in cash, and on allotment 8,000 fully paid-up Shares ; the remaining 42,000 Shares to be held in trust for the Company. The Promoters bind themselves not to place their Shares on the market until the plant is in working order ; and engage to assist in carrying on the works after the start, at a salary to be agreed upon with the Directors, and to convey to the Company for its use their rights and privileges in a Patent for the working of Iron Sand and Iron Ore applied for by them. On one-fourth of the required capital being sub scribed, a General Meeting of the Shareholders will be convened to elect a Board of Directors and pass Rules for the management of the Company, and also to make arrangements for the vigorous prosecution of the works. The Provisional Board of Directors is principally composed of practical men, who, having satisfied themselves, give their services to further this national undertaking. Applications for Shares made to the Company's Secretary, Mr. John Mowbray, No. 44, Queen-street, Auckland, \ip to the 14th day of March, 1873, will be numbered as received, and Share? allotted on approval by the Directors, immediately sifter tho rocoipt of Southern applications.
