The objeotof the proposed Company Is to par ohaso the Mill, Plant, Freehold ana Leasehold 3ußhes,&o,,of the existing Mercury Bay Saw Mill Company, and extend the business now being carried on by them. The present Mercury Bay Saw Mill Company, now in full operation, has agreed to dispose of their Freehold and Leasehold land and bushes (having an area of 14,000 acres), Mill. Plant, Rooms, Tramways, &c, for the sum of £16,000, also their Logs now cat, Goods in Store, Horses and Bullockfi at Cost, amounting approximately to £8,000, making in all about £24,000, v 0r which THEIR SnAIIK.HOLI llf.K* HAVE AQIiKKD 10 ACCSPT PAYMBNT AS FOLLOWS :— 27,000 SHARKS IN THIS COMPANY AT 128 6d KAMI PAID OP, SAY £16,875, AND THK lULANCK in Cash as it is rkoeivkd, thus leaving £7.000 of the proposed paid-un Capital to be expended to furthor extend and devolop tho business. Notwithstanding the great extension of the timber industry of late years, the demand for kauri timber, both in New Zealand and In the Australian colonies, is yearly Increasing, and the fact of an extensive system of publio workß being about to bo commenced in Now South Wales, will tend to largely increase the con sumption of this staple. Tho advantages possessed by Meroury Bay as a site for a Bawmill are unsurpassed in the colony. Having a harbour accessible in all woathors to the largest class of traders, freights can bo obtained cither for tho South or tho Australian colonies, at a trifling advance upon tho Auckland harbour rates, thoreby offectlng a saving of tho freight paid from mill to Auck land, and also tho expenses and charges attend ing its rc-shlpmcnt Tho area of land held by the Company comprises about 44,000 acres, and Is variously estimated to contain from 169 to 200 millions foot available kauri timber, and tho facilities for getting it to tho mill in Bafety are not excelled by any establishment in tho North Island. Daring tho past few years tho demand for dressed kauri has largoly Increased, and, not withstanding tho groat increase of maohlnory used for its production, the demand is Btlll un satisfied, and this company believe that the profit upon the manufacture of rough timber will be largoly Bupplemontod by producing drossod timber for shipment. It may be montloned that a locomotivo engine for the tramway, and an additional planing machine, havo been ordored from tho manufac turers, and maybeexpeoted to arrive Bhortly. * A list of the various freehold and leasehold properties of the company,'with the estimated quantity ot knurl, and the terms ot lease, may be seen at tho office of tho company. Applications for Shares, accompanied with dopofilt, must bo uisdo on or before Wednesday, Bth February wocenes. Sao.
