Considering tne Rood condition of the Plant, md that numbers of the logs are at the booms, t;is confidently exp'cted that a large return trill be available before the expiration of the Irstyearoftho Company's oxlatenoe. Tho quantity of kauri timber in toe various DUBhes at Whungapoua is estimated by the rendors at about one hundred and fifty mtlllon (oct. besides large quantities of other timber that will ultimately become valuable. Thg different bushes are situated in a clrole round tho harbour, as will be seen from the map of the property, so that all are thoroughly available. Most of the timber is very handy and can be got Dut at a low rate. A considerable quantity can be trammed out, making the supply independent of freshes; and V\ hatißapoua Is noted for always having a aupt ly ol logs. The railway, now nearly finished, wiUdeliverall the timber on the western slopes into deep water at a small Several contraots are let, all ol whioh will be finished within the next few months; and at the suggestion of )he valuators an arrangement topopoaed by which Mr C. A.Harris, jun. will complete them all and settle with the various oontraotors as they complete their contracts. The store does a sate and lucrative business, as can be seen from the annexed statement ot net profits for the l«t four years. To do a larger bnsiness at Whangapoua the company ■will only have to increase the number of men employed, as all plant, maohinery and tools necessary are already on the ground, and by working the present plant up to its full cap ability of production, viz., 100,000' feet per week the cost will be lessened and the bnsiness made even more profitable, lo obtain the capital necessary to do this, together with the anxiety ot Mr Harris, sen., to retire from business, are the-principal reasons for the prcSant proprietors parting with the property, jij» The allotments In iWoBt Custom-Honse-stroet aro rented from tho Harbour Board at £200 per annnm, and are well situated and convenient for the business; and when it is considered that the lease!!or 66 years give a the right to the'water frontage, it is evident that they will ehorOy bo come very valuable. It 'tis proposed to erect upon these allotments efficient bat inexpensive sawing, planing and moulding machinery, whioh when • completed wl 1 make) the concern thoroughly complete andcomp&ct fla every refl» pact, i i .-..'■ ' ....,..-- -- ■■■ ■■ .; .
