Stewart, Esq., C.E, j Tho proposod railway will be about safonty-; four miles In length, and commences at a point on the Hamilton-Thames Railway, near tho town of Morrlnavillo. From this point it runs southward through the centre ot the great valley of the Upper Thames, by a very easy route, for a distance of thirty-five mlloa,- It then mounts to' tho wooded plateau which divides the Upper Thames and Tauranga districts; from this It descends, by an easy route, to lis termlnuß at the Town of Ohinemutu, making a further distanoe of thirty-nine miles. This com pletes an unbroken chain of railway communi cation between the City of Auckland and the Hot Lako District, which Is the central point of attraction for tourlstß to New Zealand. The oosc of the line haa been estimated—after exploration—by James Stewart, Esq,, late Dls triot Engineer, to be £2,000 per mllefor the first seotlon of 33 milos; of the remainder, 24 miles w!U cost £3,000 per mile, and the remaining 16 milss, about fiisiJO per mile; making a total oost for construction (ot the class of the Government railways, and sxoluslve of rolling stock) of £209,500, The oost of buildings and rolUng stock is estimated at £33,000, making a total coat of *2"!a»- . - ~ , . It la proposed to construct the Railway In two sections; the first section of 38 miles under the provisions of " The Dlstriot Railways ACt, 1877, by whioh, on approval by the Government, the Coloni-1 revenue 1b teourlty for interest on the coat of construction and equipment not e_ oeedlnz. por cent, and the neighbouring lands (rated In proportion to the benefits florlTablo from the construction of the line) are liable for interest sot exceeding a fttrthor S per cent, thus giving a certain interost of 7 per cent on tho investment, even If the lino it_eE only pays working expenses. Tho mojority pf the land holders abutting on this seolion have expressed their willingness that their properties Shall bo brought under the operation of "Tho Dlstriot Railways Aot, and tho Amendment Act, 1878. For the construction of tho second seotion. passing, as it does, mainly through native lands, whloh It is not possible to bring nnd«r "The Dlstriot Railways Aots," it is proposed to work, if possible, under "The Railways Construo-on and X—nd Aot. 188 L" By this Act the Colonial Government is empowered to contract with a Company for the construction of this Railway among others, and to grant such lands as are available as an endowment. In thlß case only 28,000 acres are available, situated in the Patetero country. This would not be a BUflJoient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant tho conatruotion of this section of the line, but the native proprietors have, i» addition, agreed to give a considerable area of land to the Com pany. It is also proposed that the Company should acquire, by purchase, a further portion of native lands adjaoent to the line, which may be oxpeCtod to be largely inoreased In valuo by its construction; and, with this view, the capi tal ot the Company haa Use- fixed at a sum Bnfflclent to Include »uoh purchases. By this means, it is hoped the construction of the second section may be undertaken almost simultane ously with the first. The prospects Of immediate and very con siderable traffio on tho Uno are as good, or better, than can be shown en any new line in Now Zealand. The rapid strldeß madodtiflng the last few yearsin the Upper Thames and Waikato dlstriots, show that the country has a power ot produotion and of supporting a large population in proportion to Its area—equal to almost any other part of the colony. The pro jected railway line will open up an area of from 1,900,000 to 2,000,000 Of seres of available land, a large portion ready for immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing partly to the want Of means Of oommunioation, and partly to the faot that a portion of this ter ritory haa but recently been acquired from the native owners. Tho settlemont, of this extonslvo area must necessarily, for sams years to oomo, create a very large import trafllo, and year by year, as settlement progresses, the export trafllo of grain, stock, and other .produce must also in' crease to very large dimensions. But, lnde-; pandontly of the ordinary sources of BUpplr towards a railway trafllo which agricultural and pastoral settlement ot the coon try affords, there are special reasons which justify the expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, and paying business on this line. It is now generally known that the purchasers of the lands known as the Patetere Dlstriot are taking active steps towards the immediate colo nization, by comparatively small holders, of tho whole of the iandß they have acquired, or are acqulrinr, through the agency of a powerful com pany In England. The lmportatlona consequent on the Introduction of a largo population cannot fail to be very considerable duringthe first years of their settlement. Again, the line in its course ' to Ohinemutu, taps a valuable forest of magnuv cent Itlmber, from whloh-as soon as the llue 1b completed so far—the whole ot the Upper Thames _nd Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of timber for houso build ing, fenoing, and fuel; and last, but oertalnly not least, the large and ever Increasing stream of tourists visiting New Zealand from all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohlnem-tu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use this line of railway, whioh will convey them easily In one short day from the olty ot Auokland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting route, thus giving to the I line the exceptional advantage of a large passenger traffic at once, quite Irrespective of the ordinary passenger traffio of the country. It may also be pointed out that for, a distanoe of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not very distant date, form part ot the main line connecting Auokland with Napier and Wellington, through the interior of the island. Regarding the traffio whioh may be expected' a comparison may be made with tho exißting lines In Anotland. Seeing that on these lines there are many miles of unproductive country, and that the valleys of the Plaka, Waltoa and Thames are largely settled and stocked (and by tho time the line is open-may be expaoied to be fully bo), looking also to the scheme for the set tlement of the Patetere country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair one. Tho latest returns of the Kaipara-Te Awamutu rail way show a net revenue of £193 per mile per annum. This would give on the first seotlon of thirty-eight miles, a net revenue of £7,331, or 7J por cent, on £100.000. Estimating the revenue for the flvo yeara' working at only one-half that of the Kaipara-Waikatoline, 33 per cent, will be obtalnod, leaving only 3J per cent, to be made up by tho District Rate and Government con tribution, or a little over ,2J per cent and under 1 per cent respectively. For theso reasons, and for others too numer bus to mention, tho Provisional Directors foel fully justified in recommending the under taking to the Publlo as a work of national as well as local importance. As an Investment of capital, it will: be direotly remunerative, apd. they confldontly expeot the hearty support of tho people of Auok land, both town and oonntry. in a work which oannot fail, Immediately on Its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, produotion, and the import and export trade of the whole jProvinoial District. The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to be fixed at £100,000. in iOO.tIOO Shares of £1 each. The first issue ot Shares to be 200,000, on which it is not intended to call up more than 10b per Share, and it is anticipated that 5s per Share will suflioe as paid-up capital, for the first Bection of the Railway, beoiuso it is proposed to exoroifle the borrowing powers oonferrea by the Acts. On the prosecution of the socond seotlon it will be a question whether to issue more Shares, or make further calls on those already issued. The payments on the first issue to be la on application, and the balance by Calls of Is each, at Intervals of not less than two months. Applications for Shares to be made to the Becretary, Shortland-street, or through author ised agenta.' 79,000 Shares have already been taken by 32 subscribers, in amounts not less than 1,000. As It Is anticipated that the wholo of the Shares will be rapidly taken up, early application will be necessary. Priority of application will bo a factor In tho allotment of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will be received fOr less than 20 Shares. The following Gentlemen are AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Shares, VIZ.!- Joseph Newman, Auokland Alex. Qaunuere, „ Chas.
