PROFESSOR SAMPLE'S DEFENCE.

(To the Editor.) SIR,—In youi issue of yestarday, May 11, ihere appeared a commnnication from an unknown sonree, signed "Obunrer," in which the writer complained, that j -had driven a hone attached to a buggy, and with two tin s&n* tied to its. tail, up and down one oE the principal str<«ti of this city, it taking what h», or the, termed "a ludicrous spectacle." The writer said that whatever my object might have be«n, it could, not be such as to justify my conduct. Let me ex plain :. 'Kbe loare I was drivi»e is one oi Mr F. Qa.lok'i',bought some time ago at the horao mart.' She wat a vioiona-tempered brate which Mr Quick's men were unable to manage ]?ioally she was turosd over to me on W«dne»day evening lvt as io«3'-> ---figible, and 1 subjected her to my sjtt»ia of breakinß aud Iraioing hor*«i in the pr» sence of my cl.as« of some sixty gantlemen, for their instruction aud benefit. In tbe course of an h our or therebouw »he bceam* perfeotly doci c and refused to kick, " bolt," or enortst any sort of provocation. The next day, acting wint the taggwtionof i«rtral taembew of Bty olaM-wtll-knoirtt and ». liable gentianlen by th« waj—l 4i»t« k«r through teTerilofthepiinc4»«lrtw«»" that the pnbUo might m* iow tiutfoagUf riw had been otred of fa« notoriwuly tad habit el Waking. Tha rattlinf of wn about her h««U was certainly enonfk, to make any l>ut a welHrained animrl kioK or /'bolt," but the atood the teat ia a manner that should eeHHaca the most sceptical, persons of the efficiency and value of ray methods. J| Obsorrer "should ibear in mind 'the fact that the driver of that' mare is a Veteran Horseman, who has spent the better'yeiirs of his life in the ameliora* tion of the condition of man's noblest friend, tbe horse, and that his credentials have been either tacitly or Impliedly en dorsed by 00,000,000 or his own country meti, amongiit vhom he has taught aid; laboured In the cause which he considers Is as high .is tbat of any man| on earth. Had. | there been any evidences-of fright on the part of other horses in tbe istreet at the hour of diiying,i his practical eye would have diseovfredi them in time to h»ve ttopped his mare, thus preventing accident. Could I have my way/ every horse itt Auckland, ate in tho world, would bo so thoroughly broken and .trained that neither the rattling, of tin can«, the whittling of locomotive*, or the booutug ut cannon, couhj! induce them to kick, shy, or ran c way. 1: have driven similar .turnouts through, the prircipal streets of New* York, Philadelphia;? Boit'on, Chicago, Milwaukee, New Orleans, $nu Francisco, and other populous cities of mcrici, and have been considered .is a benefaclor rather than the mountebank whicu "Observer" would have.me appear, If there vas any violation'^of law in my conduct of lest Thursday,- my-only excuse is a stranger's ignorancep( Auckland ordinances, and the, adoption of bad counsel proffered by several thoroughly reliable subjects of Her Maj< sty the Queen.

Com pany LiMiTKO, la organised to manufacture Bar and Pig Iron and Wire from the iron sand deposits of the West Coast, by means pf tha patents owned by Messrs John Chambers and C. 3. Gardner. The practicability of thoso patents baring been .fully proved by the works at present in operation at Onehunsa, there remain but two points to bo considered—viz., the aost of manu facturing and the market for the product. THB COST. In estimating the comparative coßt ef manu facturing iron here and in England there aro three Items to be considered, vfis: labour, coal, and raw material. The raw material is almost a nominal cost to us. The coal will cost no more here than In England, for It is intended to use only gas for all heating purposes in the -works, which can be produced by means of gas generators from slack or any brown coal at a far lower cost thun the same amount of heat can be obtained from burning ooal. Labour la then the only item whloh will cost more here than in England, and wo have to consider what advantage we possess to counterbalance this greater cost. These advantages consist (Ist) In situation, by which wo save 10 per cent, on the Home cost which is absorbed in commission, insurance, exohange and interest, and outward freight, as tho freight from Auckland or Onehunga to dif ferent places in the Colony will be no more than the charges in England in bringing the iron from the mills by rail and oartage and shipping OhargOß in London; (2nd) in our prooeas, by which wo save cost of fettling (or wrought iron scrap!, whloh In puddling from pig has to be put into the furnace, and the cost of making the iuk and the waste of the same in puddling. This is a most important item in our favour, and would bo alone sufficient to counterbalance the Rreater cost of labour, for by the patents under which this Company will work the samo result is obtained from Iron sand as is obtained from pig iron, thus saving the expense of making tho pig. The diifurenco in cost between pig iron in England, suitable for making good bur iron, and iron Band at Ocehunga being fully 35a per ton in our favour. If, then, we take the amount of saving which we have by our process and situation to counter balance the greater cost of w&gra In this Colony.iwe have:— ■ / ,• Ist —10 per cent, on the Home cost-say SH.. 14/ Jnd—Saving in freipht .. .. _ -25/ 3rd-Saving of fettling .. .. ■•»-?!"•« Jl, 4th— Saving of oost of making the pig -^85/ 6th— Saving of manufacturers profits a 81/ The total cost of lubour in mannfactarlng pig iron into finished burs in Kmrifuui s under 35s per ton; so that it tho eonr of labour here in even as high as 60s there remains a largo margin ot profit. It id estimated that the total cost of tho best finished bar iron ai Onchunga will bo un der £6 per ton. THE MARKET. The production of cheap iron opens so large a field of industry that it is impossible to estimate the futuro of this trade. It is an undoubted faat that bar Iron can bo made from iron sand more cheaply than from any other ore. The supply of raw matorinl is unlimited, and New Zealand should become oue of thto largest iron producing countries in the world. The many branches of manufacture, of which cheap iron is the prime essential, will no doubt spring into lifo bow that both Iron and coattnay be obtained in New Zealand, and with the supply so will the demand increase. The amount of iron imported into Australasia in 1882 was ai follows :— 1 ■ ■ Auatralitt.New Zealand. TL ' ■ Tons. Tom. Barlron ~ .. 44,500 9.2,50 53.760 Fencing Wire .. «MXI! 9.M0 49,500 Galvanised Iron.: 37.050 8.00 45.080 Pig Iron v ..24,500 1.0 0 28 600 Plate Iron.. .. 9,260 1,000 10,250 Wire Nails .. 6,750 2.790 9.500 Hoop Iron.. .. 3,750 850 4,600 Sheet Iron.. .. 3,500 600 1,108 These figures do not Include Tasmania or West Australia. Tho present cost of South Staffordshire, iront whloh Is* universally used in these colonies, is 67 10s, f.0.b., London, costing delivery in New Zealand about £9 10a, which is one of the lowest prices for many years, owing to the depression of the iron industries in England. - ■ Auckland Iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out the imported Iron, ana leave a largo profit to the manufacturers. . . It It) also proposed to mannfaoture the boa into » few »rtiole» which «re largely u*ed, noli m Umiag stMdwda. Hah pistes, railway tpikai, ata.fca, on wMoiaWw profit ou bo nude. reacts? standards cost In the South Island •bout «llp»r ton, and are uiei to the extent of pv«r MM mm per annum, and. In otlur lines lan* quantities oaa be pold a* tatter profits than con b« maie oa bar Iron. Fencing wire being protected by a duty of 411 per ton, and by a large oost of Importing, offers; s> profitable field of Industry; and it is proposed i to add this line to tho products ot the Company; as soon as tho above operations are at work. ■ Tho slag from the puddling furnaces, if it con tains a sufficiently high percentage of Iron, will be smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and' run Into pig iron, thus .utilising all tho waste' produces. Sydney and Melbourne will take a large, quantity, of iron from us. as low freights are easily obtained to those colonies. ,' ■:: It is expooted that New Zealand iron can be sent to Kngiand and the United States at very Srofltable prices, as tho iron made from sand in 10 United States by this process is found to be of so superior a quality for making, high-priced steel that the whole of it is oon snmeil by that branch of industry, and the frico paid would yield us a large profit, ndlo, China, Japan, and San Francisoo opon fields for exportation, whioh we may shortly hope to compete, for, as our location is nioet favourable for thorn as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of the year freight oan be had at a merely rate; and a speedy enlargement ot the works, as tho requirements of the trade ma? I demand, 13 provided for in the 28,000 unallotted shares. These shares, when allotted, will bo offered to the stockholders at par in proportion to the snares held. V / •;. v This Company will take over tho concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two miles of foreshore on the' South Head of Manukau Harbour, and three miles of foreshore,, at TaraJ naki, which vr ill supply all the iron sand neces sary for many years to co<i c. No other place on the west coast offers such facilities for cheap coal and ready transportation of the finished product as Unehunga; us, from its looation we can ship from either the East or West Coasts, and from the North Head the sand can be put into barges at any state of the tide or weather, without going outside tho Heads, and brought to our own wharf. ,'.,,' Thoso considerations nrnko these concessions particularly valuable, while the loose at Tara naki will be available for, the manufacture of charcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal cab be obtained in that district at a reasonable price." Tho Now Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for tho first 200 tons of wrought iron blooms.and an additional £1,000 for the first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, which this Company will secure. ' ' The patents owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner are so essential to the manufacture of iron by the direct procesß, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable quantities without them, thus securing to tho Company a virtual monopoly. OI the first allotment of sharoa, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their Nsw Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to £4, and in future allotments of shares up to 10,000 in all, 25 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £4. ; « • 9,000 shares are at present offered to the public, payable as follows:-4-10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, tie remaining 20s at an interval of not less than three months after the last call, but; it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to •call up moro than fit per share. ... . j ' fb&infibi the'niany ■ advantages' we possess— a large and constantly, growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from its present base of supplies, a practically unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low price close at hand, and the cheapness of our working -wo have no hesitation in .offering; tho sharoa of this Company as one of th* safest anct most t proatatol* Investment whibfiM.:** «r*r bMu,; beftr* the jnWty, ' i
