It is now a distance of 20 feet up, showing coarse gold, and, altogether, looks very promising for the extensive block being opened, and the new section of the leef, which it is hoped will lead to an era of prosperity.

SILVATION ARMY.

I (To the Editor.) sjiß,—As many people do not seem to understand the aims of this body, perhaps you will allow me a little ipace for a few facts in relatioa. Its object was and Uto bring ■ within reach ot tbe Gospel news the outcasts of society who are beyond tbe pale of, and un« ought by, existing church systems, to which they will, not go and which have not come to them. To do this successfully and permanently it became im perative to avoid any Income that conformed to the beaten track, and which has signally failed, and to use such methods aa would attract and snit those they noaght to benefit; and on this ground they justify th« methods they nse, and results prove the wisdom or tbe course they pursue, which Christians of higher culture so readily condemn, because, instead of preaching over their heads, they cams down to the level of those they specially seek, The Army doe* not accept recruits or enrol soldiers belonging to any church in any place, but gains its converts from the masses, and tnere finds them active work within itself, though it cheer fully accepts aid from all shades of Christians, and is entirely unsectarian. Its finances are carefully organised, it being; impossible for one penny to be turned from the extension and support of its work, Jthe objects of which are dearly set forth, in a deed poll registered In Chancery, verything being secured to the Army by deed, dowu to the office furniture—the general, for the time being, being trustee, and the accounts of the body are duly audited and con stantly supervised by Messrs Baddows and Sons, chartered accountants, of Basing hall-stieet, London, and a balance-sheet embracing all the transactions of the Army is regularly published, tbe accounts in all places being open for public inspection. Its officers do not make a good thirg of it; the general does not, and has never been psid anything by the Army. Captains get 21?, lieutcnantii, 18s per week, if income of branch permits when expenses are paid; and all cash received has co be ac counted for to head quarters, so that no possible means are neglected to secure the aftns of the body being carried out. What the Anglican clergy and others say about the Army : -The Archbishop of Can terbury subscribes to it« funds. Tho Rev. E. Whito, M.A., of Weigh House Chapel, in a sermon, said : " Ths best thing that could happen us would be a similar visi tation of earnestness to that the Army cl's plavs." The Bishop of Bedford, the Arch bishop of York, the Lord Bishop of Winchester, Earl Cairns and others re presenting the clergy and nobility.of Eng land, join in wishing the Army "God speed.' 1 The Lord Bishop of Chichester, at his Diocesan Conference, said : " The Army holds in high respect the word of God, and It preaches morality on Christian principles." What a commentary ou the unjust accusations of the Bishops of Oxford and Hereford, who charge them with fostering "illegitimate" births. Do they assert that the preaching of the Gospel does this? Mr Justice Kay, Court of Chancery, says: <:It is a move ment which ought to command the respect and sympathy of every reasonable man." To come nearer homo, we find that the A-my fills i nr Temperance Bail every ni»ht with attentive hearers, while ftit. Matthew's Church, which has 600 or 700 attendants, can only command for weens long past 15 to 20 hearers oo a Wednesday evening to service. Does this not argue strongly in favour of extraordinary means for the masses, when "enlightened" Christians are not to be got at by the usual and regular ministrations of the ministers of God f—l am, etc, Sympathiser.

Jakins, Auckland BAIfKEBS: Colonial Bank of New Zealand. Solicitors : Messrs Connell and Cooper. Secretary, pro tern : J, T. Melville. OBJECTS. Tho operations of this Company will consist o£ the Growing of Apples on an extenaive scalo, with the object not only of supplying the local market, but aIBO of exporting choice varieties of deßSort fruit to England and Amerioa, and it may be, other countries north of the line. Owing to tho difference of seasons in the two hemis pheres, the Company would be in a position to offer the fruit consumora of these countries fresh apples at a) time, of the year, when their local supply would be almost exhausted. LAND. The land to bo taken over by the Company consists of 22S aorcs, on the east bank of the Tamaki River, being lots 43, and part of lots il andlO, Parish of Panuranea; first-class agricul tural land, f enoed, drained, and well cultivated. Price, «25anaore. The terms of payment are exceptionally favour able to the Company—namely, £650 deposit, the balanoe to remain at 7 per cent, per annum for a term of five years, when, if the Company is not In a position to pay it off out of the profits, after payment of dividends averaging 10 per cent per annum to shareholders on paid-up capital, the rate of Interest will beroduoed to 5 percent, per annum, and remain at'that until the Company can bo pay it. TREES, These were selected and secured early in tho season, and are the pick of the local nurseries— being as lino an assortment as could be procured under tho moßt favourable conditions. Tho price will average about 9d oach. Agoßranging from one to five years t principally two years old. Over fifty thousand Boourod for this sea son's planting. The cost to the Company of tho Orohard, when fully planted at 10 feet apart (500 trees per acr«), will amount to 2s 3d por tree, including land and all other expenses.* Allowing SB Sa per acre for culture. Interest, and expenses the first year, will bring tho cost up to 2s Sd per tree. RETURNS. The second year after planting, a bonus of tA per acre under "The Forest Trees Planting encouragement Act." t together with on avorage of 3d worth of fruit per tree, twill oover the year's expenses at the rate of £7 2s 6d por aore, and pay a dividend of 9 per cent. Tho third rear an average of Cd worth of fruit per tree will provide for t8 to 8d per aore expanses, and a dividend of 12 per cent The fourth year an average of Is worth of frnlt ncr tree frill pro- Tide for expenses at the liberal rate of filS 10b per aore, and allow a dividend of SO per cent The fifth year an average of 2a -worth of fruit por tree will oover expenses at the rate of £18 ISs por aore, provide for the balance of tho pur chase money of the land (£3,00 >)■ besides pay ment of a dividend of 16 per oent. Kvory pennyworth of fruit per tree over and above expenditure will yield a profit of 6 por oent on paid-up capital. Supposing, then, from this porlod forward £25 per aore (one shilling per tree) is allowed for expensos, every addi tional shilling's worth of fruit per tree will give a profit of T2 (seventy-two) per oent on paid-up oapltal. Approximately, each share will entitle the holder to the produce or profits from five trees, after deducting proportionate expenses for culture and oare. DISPOSAL OF PRODUCE. Aa the possibility of disposing of snob, quanti ties of fruit as an orohard of this size would produoe has been questioned, it may bo as well to draw attention to the rapidly increasing faci lities for sending not only meat, but frosh fruit, to the London and Continental markets, and aim to the fact that within 40 days of being gathered in our autumn, onr apples may bo placed on the Oovcnt Garden fruit stalls In the English Spring. Packed la cool cham bers adjacent to tho froeen meat compartments in the direct steamers, (ho fruit will keep much fresher than If stored for tho same length of time In Now Zealand Anyone acquainted with London markets need not be Informed of the ready sale and high prloes obtainable for'any thing In tho shape of fresh fruit out of the ordinary English season. Tho Californlan market also is one not to ho despised, A popu lation accustomed to consuming apples largely during ten months of the yoar must prove good ouatomors during the othor two, when tholr own supply runs out and ours comes In. The opening of the Panama Canal Is also ex pected to take place in about five or six years, by whloh time this Company should be In a Sosltlon to forward by it largo quantities of •ult Its opening will bring, practically, to our doors, an unlimited market for Auck land-grown fruit, not only in London, but in all the largo cities of tho Knstern Stntes of America and tho Continent of Kuropo. No approbonslon need therefore bo folt ns regards a market for onr produo>, nor from competition in supplying that market It m st be borne in mind also that as roKardi our locul markot, na the supply increases so docs tho consuming popu ntion, and that in proportion as prices are lowered consumption increases. And that apurt from all othor means of disposing of the produco, tho manufacture of cider in itself would prove a most profitable modo of utilising It There Is every reason to anticipate that this undertaking will prove bo highly profitable to Its shareholders that It will become tho nucleus of one of the largest and most Important indus tries yet developed In Auckland. Further particulars may bo had and Share List lnspeoted at the Offlco of tho Company. J. T. MELVILLE, Sea pro tern.

T,083 6 8 £7,083 6 8 If tho comparative results for several years sro estimated, making a proportionate allow ance for expenses per acre, and allowing for the same yield of fruit per tree, it will bo found that while the one will haro moro than paid its original coat In profit In less than five years, and be paying dividends of cent, per cent, tho other will, at 7 or 8 yeara.havo cost about 20s per treo, and be doing littlo more than pay 10 por cent on outlay. t ClaußO 4 of tho Regulations nnodr tho abovo namod Act reads thus :-"•!. The trees maybe of any description, and the numbor planted must be at tho rato of not loss than five hundred per aero." 1 Tho allowanoe mode In this ostitsato of an average of 3d worth of fruit por troo, the second year: 8d the third;ls tho fourth, and 2s the fifth, is considered absurdly low by many practical growers, and it may be as well to mention that whllo these quantities aro used In this estimate, there is evory reason to bolievo that thoy will prove far below actual resultß^ and that tho return* will warrant tho payment of dividends even greater than Is herein oalou latod upon—for instance, if the returns exoeod any of the above-named avorages by twoponoo worth of fruit por tree. It would bo equivalent to an additional twelve per cont. alvldond. Nothing at all is allowed in this ostimato for tho increased value of tho land and stock (only the actual returns in fruit hoing taken into account), but tho profit from this sonroe alone would bo very considerable and thoro is no extravagance in tie assumption that m five years time from tho commencement, tho capital value of each troo with tho ground it occupiod, would stand at not less than five shillings, representing a profit of more than 22s Gd per sharo, oxoluaivoof profits from sale of fruit. hawing ftgaotnaaa bybpboul 4^jJj^ 4EPOINrMBNI ISTiBLtIHSD 1876.
