Tho proposed railway will bo obont aovonty four miles in length, and commonoos at a point on tho Hamilton-Thames BaUww. near the town of Morrlnsvlllo. From this BO ni itruns southward through tho contro of thei great valloy of iho Upper Thames, by a very easy route for a diatanCß of-thirty-live mUes; it then mounts to tlio wooded plateau which divides tho Upper Thames and Tanrangft distriota ; from this It descends, by an easy route, to iiß OTmlnuaat thoTown of Ohlnomutu, making a further distance of thirly-nino mileß. This com pletes an unbroken chain of railway communi cation betwo.m tho City of Auckland and the Hot hnko District, which is tho ccntrnl point of attraction for tourists to Now Zealand. Tho cost of tho line has b.ien oßtloiaWd-after cxp!orntton-by Janica Stowart, Esq., late UU; trict Knulnoor, to bo J32.000 per mile for the first segtlou of 3a miloa; of tho remainder, 21 miles will coat £8,009 per mllo, nnd the remaining 15 miles, about £13,0 per milo; making a total cost for construction (ot tho class of tho Government railways, and exclusive of rolling stock) of £f)9 Ml). Tho cost of buildings and rolling stock la estimated at £33,000, making a total cost of It i'a proposed to conatruot tho Railway In two soctiona; th» first section of 33 miles undor thn provialons of "Tho District Railways Aoi, 1877." by which, on approval by tho Governmont, tho Colonial rovemio is security for Interost on tho cost of construction and equipment not ex ceeding t pof cent., and tha neighbouring lands (rated In proportion to tho benefits dorivablo from tho construction of tho line) aro liablo for • lntorcst not oxoeeding a further 5 per oont, thus giving a certain lntorest of 7 per oont on the. Investment, oven if the lino iwolf only pays working expenses. The majority of tlio land holdors nbuttlng on thia sootlon hovo expressed thelx willingness that tholr properties shall bo brought undor tho operation of " Tho Dlstrlot Hallways Act. and tho Amendment Act, 1878. For tho construction of tho second section, passing, as it docs, mninly through i.ntivo lands, which it iii not possible to brinK under "Iho Hlatriot Hallways Aott," it is propoaod to work, if posniblo, under " The llaJlwara Construction and Land Act. 1881.* By this Aot tho Colonial Government is empowored to contract with a Comuany for the conetcuctioa of this Hallway among othom, and to Rrant such lands us aro available, aa an endowment. In this oaao only 28,000 acres aro available, situated in tho Patetero country. This would not be a suflluiunt endow menti without rating powers, to warrant tho construction of this ucotlon of tho line, but tho nativo proprietors havo, In addition, agreed to tiivo a considerable aroa of land to the Com pany. It is also proposed that tho Company f hould acquire, by purchase, a further portion of nativo lands adjacent to the line, which may bo oxpected to bo largely increased In Talue by Its construction; and, with thij view, tho capi tal of tho Company has been fixed at a sum Buillclont to Include such purchases. By this mount, it la hoped the construction of the eocond section may bo undertaken almost simultane ously with tho first. Tho prospocts of Immediate- and very con sldorablo traillo on the line aro as good, or bettor, than oan bo shown en any new lino in New Zealand. Tho rapid strtdos made during the last few years in tho Upper Thames and Walkato district*, show that the country has a power of production and of supporting a largo population in proportion to its area—equal to almost any othor part of the colony. The pro jected railway lino will open np an area of from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 of acres of available land, a largo portion ready for Immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing partly to tho want ot moons ot communication, am) partly to tho faot teat a portion of this ter ritory haft but recently boon acquired from the native owners. Tho settlement ot this extensive area must necessarily, for soma years to come, oreate a very largo import traftlo, and year by year, as settlement progresses, tho export traffic of grain, stock, and otbor produce mast also in crease to very largo dimensions. But, inde pendently of tho ordinary sources of supply towards a railway trafllo which ttgrionltoral ana pastoral settlement ot the conn try allbrds, therd aro 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 tho purchasers ol the lands known na tho Patotoro Dißtriotart taking active steps towards the lmmedlato colo nization, by comparatively small holders, of tho whole of tho lands they have acquired, or are acquiring, through the agency of a powerful com pany in England. Tho importations consequent on the introduction of a largo population cannot fail to be very conßiderablo during tho Urn t years Of their settlement. Again, tho line in its course to Ohlnemutn, tapn a valuable forest of magnifl oont liimbor, from whtch-asaoonas tho line la completed so far—tho whole ot the Upper Thames and Walkato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies ot timber for houso build ing, fencing, aud fuel; and last, bat certainly not least, tho large and ever increasing stream of tourists visiting Now Zealand trom all parta of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohinemutu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use this line of railway, which will convey them easily in one short day from the city of Auckland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting routo, thus giving to the line the exceptional advantage ot a largo Sasseuger trafllo at once, quite irrespective of 10 ordinary passenger traffic of the country. It may also be pointed one that for) a distance of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not very distant date, form part of the main line connecting Auckland with Napier and Wellington* through the interior of tho island* Kegarding the (radio which may be expected! a comparison may be made with the existing lines in Auokland. Seeing that en these lines there are many miles of unproductive country, and that the valleys of tho Plaka, Walton and Thames are largely settled and Btocked (and by tho time the lino is open may be expected to ba fully co), looking also to the scheme for tho BOt tlement of the Patetero country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair one. The latest returns of the Kaipara-'i'o Awumutu rail* way show a not revenue of £193 per mile per annum. This would givo on the first section of thirty-eight miles, a net revenue of £7,331, or 7} per cent, on £100,000. Kstimating the revenue for the five years working at only one-halt that of the Kaipara-Walkato lino, 33 per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3} per oont. to be made Tip by the District Kate and Government con tribution,'or a little ovor ,2| per cent, and under 1 per cent respectively. For these reasons, and for others too nnmer ous to mention, the Provisional Directors feel Fully justified In recommending the under taking to the Public as a work of national as well as local Importance. As an Investment of capital, it will be directly remunerative, and they confidently expoot the hearty support of tho people of Auck land, both town and country, in a work: which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no ono undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the Import and oxport trade ot tho wholo Frovisolal District. The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to be tlxod nt £400,000, in 400,1100 Snares of £1 eaoh. The Brut issue of Shares to be 300,000, on whioh it Is not intended to call up more than 10s per Sharp, and it is anticipated that 5s per Share will suffice as paid-up capital, for the first sootion of the Hallway, beoauso it is proposed to exercise the borrowing powers conferred by the Acts. On the prosecution of tho second section • will bo a question whether to issuo more Shares, or mako further calls on those already issued. The payments on tho first issne to bo la on application, and the balance by Calls of 1b each, at intervals of not less than two months. Applications for Shares to be made to the iocrotary, Shortlandstreet. or through author iijfwl agents. 70,000 Shares have already been taken by 32 subscribers, in amounts not less tban 1,000. As it is anticipated that tho whole of tho Bharos will be rapidly taken np, early application will be necessary. Priority of application will be a factor In the allotment of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will be received for less than 20 Shares. 'Wia following Gentlemen are AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Shares, viz.:— . . . • ... .. Joseph Newman, Auckland Alex.
