A TRIP BY THE STEAMER WAITAKI.

Tlic Mineral Kcnourcos of Kamo. To celebrate the purchase of tlie steamer Waitaki by the Kamo Coal Company and the placing of her on Hie run between Auckland and Whangaroi, a special excur sion was organised from the cKy, with which was combined a trip to the employes of the Company and the surrounding country settlers. The Waitaki is a most substantially-built and comparatively-new steamer, having been constructed in IS7O by Messrs Wingato and Co., Glasgow, to the order of the Dunedin and Ouniani Steamship Company. She was afterwards taken over by the Union Steamship Com pany, and they have parted with her tn the present owners on account of the growing traffic having led to the necessity of employing a larger clans of vessels, of which the Wairnmpa, the Waihora", and the Manapouri form the first instalment. In purchasing the Waitaki, the Kamo Coal Company have by no means stepped out of their sphere—the moving cause having been the want; of increased facilities of transport of coal from the minch to Auck land. The directors lately concluded a con trad, to deliver weekly in Auck land a quantity of coal equal to (lie currying capacity of the Waitaki. Having, besides, splendid accommodation or passengers--f.hu steamer having a good reputation for comfort, convenience, and good sailing as a Union boat—it was also icsolved to inaugurate a bi-weekly passen ger and goods service, to meet '.he wants of tlie rising Northern district in which tho colliery is situated. The excursion left Auckland at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening last, with a goodly company on board, comprising Mr Bonnott, managing director, Mr Smith, accountant to tho Company, and a number of ladies anil gentlemen. Mr Adam Cairns, of tlie Star Hotel, who bun the catering contract For the steamer, accompanied the excursion, and superintended the cuisine, the ex cellent quality of which gave good promise for tho future popularity of the Waitaki, Under cany steam, with a smooth sea and a cloudless sky, Whangarci was reached abcut lire next morning, and a special train carried up to the Company's works those visitors who were interested in the opera tions going on there. Eren a brief visit such as was afforded on the present occasion cannot'fail to give a strong impression of the vastnesi of the Company's resources in the mineral wealth of the district, and of the great and lusting prosperity of Kamo Colliory and township in the near future. An area of 1,250 acres of freohold laud belonging to the Company, and about an equal acreage of leased land mostly secured by them witli purchasing clauses, have two Foams of excellent coal underlying them, Tho coal is presently worked by means of an adit level driven for a con siderable distance in tho face of a hill, with mines cutting two seams, one of eleven and the other of live feet in thickness. Power ful and improved winding machinery brings to tho Kurfaco tho coal, which about fifty miners are employed in hewing, and on the railway at the mouth of the drive trucks re ceive the " black diamonds," which, on being transported to tho railway wharf at Whangarei (iiomc six or seven miles distant) are "tipped" into the hold of the steamer or into barges kept for tho purpose. The drive was inspected by the party—Mr Kerr, colliery manager, accompanying and giving lurid explanations on any matters on which information was wanted. About a mile distant from these workings, the Company are presently sinking a shaft, which at a deptli of 220 feet has cut one of tlie seams, and is being further sunk until the second seam is found. The coal found there is of superior quality lo that being got from the drive, and the cost of winning it is not expected to exceed i's (id per ton, so that after paying railway freight charges there remain!) an ample margin for profitable sale ut low prices. The wealth of the estate is not confined to coal, as the visitors had an opportunity of seeing. There are practically inexhaus tible supplies of limestone, which, with clay, also found on tho land, is suited for making Portland cement Machinery and appliances for this manufacture were got sometime ago, and tho valucof these deposits was proved. Tlie machinery is now em ployed in treating another mineral found in large quantities, viz., hematite ironstone, which is proved to bo particularly well adapted for making hematite paint. By tho private enterprise of the Hon. Mr Mitehelson, Minister of Public Works, who is also a director of tho Kamo Coal Com pany, paint of suporiorquality is now being manufactured, and the basis is boing laid of a lucrative and extensive business. A, wonderful spring on the Company's land, the curative properties of which are firmly believed in, was also visited. The water of this, which has undoubted chalybeate pro perties, makes a pleasant effervescing drink in its natural state, but as there were some sour of Caledonia in tho party, a pretext was found for "qualifying" the liquli with lemon juice, sugar, and a " woe drop" of something stronger. To tho sanguine vision of those who quaffed of this well, its waters also appeared a species of " mineral wealth " which might easily be bottled up in everlasting supply and con verted into dividends to the shareholders in the Company. A commotion in tho vicinity of tho rail way station shows that something unusual is going on. Hundreds of people from Kamo and the surrounding country aro as sembled, clad in holiday attire, to take ad vantage of tho free trip round tho harbour offered them by the Kamo Coal Company, A special train, alone with tho ordinary ono, conveys those and a fresh contingent from Whangarei to tho wharf, and all boing got on board the Waitaki, this fino vessel— the admiration and wonder of tho country peoplo—starts off on a trip to tho Heads. Favoured with excellent weather, all enjoy themselves thoroughly on the cruise—the music discoursed by tho Whangarci Rail way and Volunteer Band, under the leader ship of Mr Dobie, adding to tho harmony. All receivo a substantial dinner, free, which does not prevent them from enjoying the more sentimental pleasure of gazing on tho picturesquo sconery of tho Heads and vicinity. An "ocean raco" in miniature, just outside tho Heads, adds a keener and moro excijing delight. Tho Northorn Steamship Company's Macgregor is coming out, and^waiting till she is abreast, tho Waitaki puts hor to a trial of speed, and the latter easily distancing her rival, crosses in front of her, is put about, over takes tho Macgrogor again, and repeats the former mamuuvro amid great cheering. Mr Day, tho gonoral manager, and Mr Korr, wevo along with the excursionists on tho Waitaki, as well,as tho majority of the visitors from Auckland. On reaching tho wharf once more after the pleasant cruiso, throo hearty cheers were given for Mr Bennett: throo more for Captain Crawford, who, with his officers and crew, had shown every attention to the strangers; tho band played the National Anthem ; and the Kamo and Whangarei excursionists loft by special train for their respective homes. Tho Waitaki returned tp Auckland on Friday, bringing tho city visitors and other passciigcr-s, The weather was still delight ful, and a visit to tho stranded steamer Triumph addod interest to tho return voyage, though it delayed tho Waitald's arrival.
