SECRETARY: Georgo Cartland, Esq., 29, Abingdon street, Wost minator, and Eton, Windsor. SOLICITORS : Messrs Ashurst, Morris, & Co.,'C, 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 19i|th square miles, and, as will be seen from Plan, its lower extremity extend to within 3} miles of Fukorokoro (a navigable creek on the Frith of Thames) opposite tho Goldflelds and Townships of Shortland. Grnhamstown, Hastings, and Coromandel, being distant from the two first-mentioned towns only about ten miles. The Company has for its object tho developing to I the greatest possible advantage tho Coal and other Minerals known to exist thereon, as also the construc tion and using of a Kail or Tramway in the vicinity thereof. COAL: The very valuable seam, cropping out in the creek at the Surrey Redoubt, has been proved to he 10 feot 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, (irahamstown, to be tested, and the report of the engineer is i appended. The consumption of Coal for quartz-crushing machi nery and other purposes, iv 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 eomrrranication, projected railways throughout ' the Province, as, also, its rapidly increasing popula tions. ' Thi3 Company, from the clos« 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 th«y will have the great advantage of having a large market of skilled mining labour close at hand Report of the Kngineer of the Hauraki Battery, at Grahamstown, on Sample of Wharekawa (Surface) Coal, nth February, 1870:—"Nine cwt. Coal, Si hours good steam for battery, 7 head stampers A better Coal than Whangarci ; no sulphur ; no clinkers; burns quick and fierce." J Lowe, C.E., reports as follows : — EXTENT: " I am fully convinced that the 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 outsuliiciently 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 better 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 i 3 about ten feet thick. It is more than usually strong and compact at the outcrop, and in comparison with the Kawakaw'a Coal is much i superior to it, as taken from the present workings at i a depth of one hundred and twenty-eight feet. Tho Coal is similar to the Wishaw Coal of Scotland, and « the Glanzohle of Germany, and contains about « I seventy-five per cent, of combustible matter. The » amount of Sulphur contained in thi* Coal bolng very small makes it very suitable for Smelting and Engine purposes, and it will also be useful aa a •;< j'.kl houso hold Coal. IRONSTONE ; • " Ironstone has beon found- on the surface, and from tests yield- about 50 per cent, of Iron, and there can scarcely bo a doubt but that Ironband will be I found overlapping the Coal Measures. LIMESTONE : I " Limestone is found on the surface of ,tho Block, " j and ia apparently in large quantities, A valuable fiux I iai Iron Is thus at hand, and it will be also available J for building and agricultural purposes. TIMS&S : ( J '"Vita Block in well timbered with Kauri, Totara^ I end other useful Forest Tree 3 extending to some I fcandrfc'.l? of acre?,, - ~/'. QUAIJTY Q¥ LAND : I ."Thj.L&ud, except where marked on the Plan as Jjjjjlly, is of fair average quality, and will be available Sflr agricultural purposes. The swampy parts being !|||sily drained will form the richest portions. FLAX.: ■■'.'Therela an extensive Max field on the ground. „ 1:" he Flax is of the finest quality. ■ WATER POWER : > ■'"TheMangatangi (a valuable stream) runs across Company's land, having a considerable declivity, iihd I estimate that in the dry season there is a body 2*ES flowing of about fifteein millions of gallons T:saraicm r , (Signed) "John Lowe, C.E." d , :After careful calculation the Directors are fully v ■mured that the coal from this mine can be delivered v ££[ the Thames for 12s or 13s per ton, whereas the n saiarket value will be at least £1 per ton. £ iaßtThe, Government main line of road and telegraph c ' «Sre3 i*un the entire length of the property, and the B1 Taster is now completed as far as Pukorokoro (proposed n site of the Miranda Township), and across the Frith t] ofrTktmes to tho goldflelds. RAILWAY. The Company purposes ts construct a Railway T from the coal mine to the landing-place at Miranda a (P s ukorokoi o, opposite to Grahamstown,) for the con- C veyance of their coal to the shipping. This Rail or a Tramway has been accurately surveyed, and found to be nine miles in length, without any serious engineer- q ing difficulties to contend with. w By the extension of this line about nine miles f, further to Mercer, or five to the waters of the Wai- j, kato, would open up one of the finest districts in the t North Island of New Zealand, the farm produce and „ local industries made available, and brought into tl direct communication with two great centres of pepu- J, lation in the province, viz., Auckland and Grahams- c town and the Thames and Coromandel Goldfields. p GENERAL w The Directors eventually purpose laying out about q 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 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 of Fared » 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 f om Mining and other En gineers, with estimated cost of Railway, &c, together c with forms of applications for Shares, and any further c information required, can be procured on application to the General Manager, at the Company's Oflice, 2 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 ii to tho Bankers or the General Manager. p W. A. GRAHAM, P Vivile'B Buildings. 1 B
