Greenwood, 129, Queen-street, Auckland The objects for which tho Company has baon ' formed ore to purchase the valuable freehold Coal and Iron Fields, owned and worked b/ the late Mr Footc, some few years ago; also, to • work and win Coal, Iron, Fireclay, make Bricks, and do all things that from time to time may be to tho advantage and welfare of the Company. The property mentioned consists of over 1,000 acres of freehold land, situated near the Miranda Redoubt at the head of the Maramarua River, about 10 milos from tho Meremere siding, Wai kato Railway Lino, about 10 miles^from Meroer, and about 10 miles from Mercer, and about 10 milos from doop-watcr frontage opposite the Thames Gold fields. The land is good agricultural land, and there are upwardsof4o acres of totara, matai, rirau, and puriri bush, all suitable for mining pur poses. Numerous trial pita hare been sunk all arer the property, and coal was found in about 90 of them, at a depth of from 7 to 30 feet from th« surface, the seams extending to a thickness of Si feet , The property abounds in first-clans the and , other clays, and has enormous valuable deposits , of very rißh iron ore. The following result w«a obtained by Dr. i James Hector, Analyiat ta the New Zealand Government from, a sample of Hematite Iron submitted to him, viz. ;— "* Metallic Iron 62-30 Oxygon 27' i Manganese .. .. ... traces. Titanium traces. Silicates 10-66 Ho adds: "If the ore oah be obtained in quan tity, it will be tho most valuable I have seen in . New Zealand." All the iron ores arc in abun dance, and have been tested by experts, and in • every Case with satisfactory results. 1 > Tho following aro extracts from Messrs Stewart and Hunter's report as to .quantity, quality, and cost of delivering tho Coat in Auck land :—"lt is pretty well known that the thick • noss of the seam worked by Mr Footo was 51 feet and the whole drift ox evidence goes to show that a large area of Coal of groat thickness extends nearly all over the property. The old ' mine was kopt cosily free from water, and con sidering tho top of tho seam was only 13 feet, under the suiSfico, and close to the swamps, it is evident that tho roof is safe and watertight We believe that, on tho basis of 600 tons per . week, the Coal can be mined and put on board ' the barges for 2s 6d per ton, including pumping. H " Quality ok Coai*—This is well Known to \ us to be equal to the average Waikata Goal, and 5 only slightly inferior to tho host Taupiri ■ Coal, which has now onterod so largely into use 1 in all circumstances, from locomotive down to household fuel. Mr Foote's Coal was largely usod by steamers, and we are quite sure it only D wants to be introduced to take its place at once \ in the market 5 " The cost of mining and delivering the Coal o on the railway is estimated at 4s per ton; the - railway freight is—to Auokland or Onehunga. 0 5s W. making a total cost 9s id—say 10s per ton." Mr Stewart in his report, says: "The Coal • was slightly inforior to the Taupiri Coal.". This T was the upper portion of the seam, but the 1 lowor portion was found to be quite equal in '• quality to the Taupiri Coal, and there is overy t. reason to believe that at a greater depth from 0 the surface other and moro valuable deposits of 8 Coal will be found. ft The immediate oapitall required to bring the n Coal into the Auckland marketr-which oan be done within six months from date, at the rate of from 600 to 800 tons por week—is about £6,000. In bringing this Prospsotus before tho public, . the promoters would call their attention to the *• following important facts :— 1. That no outlay is required for tho pur pose of proving the mineral field. 2. That the steady increase in the demand j for Coal fuUy warrants the Company 1 commencingoporatlonsand energetically 3.
