Aloxandef>-— Tift objeot of tho proposed Company Is to pur chase tho Mill, Plant, Freehold and Leasehold hashes, __o„of the existing Mercury Bay Saw Mill Company, and extend the business now being carried on by them. The present Mercury Bay SaVr Mill Company, now in full operation, has agreed to dispose of tholr Kroohold and Leasehold land and bushes (having an area of 44,000 acres), Mill. Plant, Itoomp, Tramways. &c, for the sum of £16,000, also their Logs now cut, Goods In Store, Horses and Biillooks at Cost, amounting approximately to £8,000, making in all about £_4.0D0,F0R which THEIR SHARKHOLDff-RK HAVE AGREED TO ACCEPT PAYMKNT AS FOLLOWS !— 27,000 Sharks in this Company at 12s 6d EACH PAID UP, SAY £16,876, AND THE BALANCE in Cash as it is rkceivkd. thus leaving £7.000 of tho proposed pald-an Capital to be expended to further extend and develop tho buslnoss. Notwithstanding tho great extension of the timber Industry of lato 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 works being about to be commenced In New South Wales, will tond to largely increase tho con sumption of this staple. The advantages possessed by Mercury Bay as i a site for a sawmill are unsurpassed in the colony, Having a harbour accessible in all weathers to tho largest does of tradors, freights can bo obtained olthor for the South or the Australian colonios, at a trilling advanco upon tho Auckland harbour rates, thereby offeoting a saving of the freight paid from mill to Auok land, and also the expenses and charges attend ing its ro-shipmont The area, of land held by the Company comprises about 14,000 screß, and Is variously estimated to contain from 150 to 20Q millions feet available kauri timber, and tho facilities for (totting it to tho mill in safety are not excelled by any establishment in the North Island. f Daring tho past few yoars tho demand for dressed kauri has largely increased, and, not withstanding tho groat Increase ot machinery used for its production, the demand is still un satisfied, and this company believe that the profit upon tho manufacture of rough timber will bo largely supplemented by producing drossed timber for shipment. It may bo mentioned that a looomotlvo engine j for the tramway, and an additional planing machine, have been ordored from tbe manufac turers, and may bo expected to arrive shortly. A list of the various freehold and leasehold proportloß of the company, with the estimated quantity ot kauri, and the terms ot lease, may be seen at tho office of the company.
