Freehold arid Leasehold .nshes.&c.of the existing Meroury Bay Saw Mill Company, and extend tho business now being carriod on by them. „,„„ Tho present Mercury Bay Saw Mill Company, now in full operation, has agreed to dispose of their Freehold nnd Leasehold land and bushes (having an area of 14,000 acres), Mill. Plant, Roomß, Tramways, &c tor tho sum of £16,000, also thoir Logs now cut, Gooda ln Store, Horses and Bullocks at Cost, amounting approximately to -8,000, making In all about £21.000,)-or whioh mMR BHAB_UOLD-R3 HAVE AGREED TO ACCEPT PAYMENT AS FOLLOWS!— .«.'». 27,000 Sharks in this Company at I2s 6d BACH PAID UP, SAY £16,875, AND THE BALANCE in Cash as it is received, thus leaving £7.000 of the proposed pald-no Capital to bo expended to f urtier extend and develop tho business. Notwithstanding the great extension of the timber industry of lato yeors, the demand for kauri timber, both in- New Zealand and in the Australian colonies, Is yearly increasing, and the fact of an extensive system ot publio works being about to be commenced In New South Wales, will tend to largely inorsase the con sumption of this staple. ■ The advantages possessed by Mercury Bay as a site for a Bawmill are unsurpassed in the colony, Having.a harbonr aooessible in all weathers to the largeßt class of traders, freights can be obtained either for the South or the Anßtrallan colonies, at a trifling advance upon tho Auckland harbour rates, thereby effecting a saving of the freight paid from mill to Anok land, and also tho expenses and charges attend ing its re-Bhipment The area of land hold by tho Company comprises about 14,000 acres, and ia varioualy estimated to contain from 150 to 200 millions feet available kauri timber, and the facilities for Betting it to the mill in safety are not excelled by any establishment in the North ialand. ; . . During tho past few years tha demand for dressed kauri has largely increased, and, not withstanding the great Inorease ot maohlnery used for its produotion, the demand la still un eatißfledj and thia 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 maohine, havo been ordered froqj the manntao-, turera, and maybe expected to arrive Bhortly. A Hat cf the various freehold and leasehold proporties of the oompany, with the estimated quantity of kauri, and the torms of lease, may bo soen at the office of the con .any.
