The object of tho proposed Company is to pur chase the Mill, Plant, Freehold and Leasehold "i üßhoSi&c, ,of the existing Mercury Bay Saw Mill Company, and extend tho business now being carried on by them. Tho present Morcury Bay Saw Mill Company, now in full operation, has agreed to dispose of their Freehold and Leasehold land and bushes (having an area of 11.000 acres), Mill, Plant, Rooms, Tramways, &c, for the sum of £16,000, also their Logs now cut, Goods in Store. Horses and Bullookn at Cost, amounting approximately to £8,000, making in all about £210I)0,for which THEIR 3HARBIIOLDBIH HAVIC AQHEBDTU ACCEPT PAV.MKNT AS FOLLOWS I— 27,000 Sharks in this Company at 12s Oil EAOH PAID UP, BAY &18.875, AND TUB BALANOB in Cash as it is reoeivkd, thus leaving £7.000 of the proposed paid-un Capital to be expended to farther extend and develop the business. Notwithstanding the great extension of tho timber industry of lato years, the demand for kauri timber, both in New Zealand and in the Australian colonies, 1b yearly inoreaslng, and the fact of an extensive system of publio works being about to be commenoed in New South Wales, will tend to largely increase tbe con sumption of this staple. The advantages possessed by Mercury Bay as a site for a sawmill are unsurpassed in the colony, Having a harbour accessible In all weathers to the largest class of traders, freights can be obtained either for tho boutn or tbe Australian colonies, at a trilling advance upon the Aucklnnil harbour rates, thereby effecting a saving of the freight paid from mill to Auok land, and also tho expenses and charges attend ing lib re->hipment The area of land held by the Company comprises about 41,000 acres, and is variously estimated to contain tcdm 153 to 200 million.! foot available kauri timber, and tho facilities for kciudk ie to the mill in safety aro not uxccllcd by any establishment in the North Island. During tho past few years the demand for drcssod kauri hit> lamely increased, and, not withstanding the great increase of machinery used for its production, the demand is still nn satisfied, and this company believe that the profit upon the manufacture of rough timber will be largely supplemented by producing dressed timber for shipment. It may be mentioned that a locomotive engine for the tramway, and an additional planing machine, have been ordered from the mannfao turers, and may be expected to arrive shortly. A list of the various freehold and leasehold properties of the company, with the estimated quantity of kauri, and the terms of lease, may bo seen at the office of the company. Metijcai.
