The show of Preserved meat is the best yet ex hibited at any show in Auckland The exhibitors are the Messrs Hellaby, Fisher, t Co. (Limited), and the Auckland Meat Preserving Company. The Messrs Hellaby's exhibit is a trophy in the shape of a pagada, the trade mark of the firm—a crown formed of tin, and decorated with flowers—greatly enhancing the appearance of the exhibit. The labels of all the firms are very neat. The New Zealand Manure and Chemical Company, at present being formed at Tauranga for the purpose of working the deposits' of sulphur at White Island, show gypsum and other manures, also ■ specimens of sulphur from the island. The gypsum manure is at present landed in Auckland at £3 per ton, but it is expected that when the Company is in working order its price will be reduced to 30s or £2. Messrs Edson and Haslett show chemical preparations. Mr John Lamb is rather dis appointed that the liberal prizes offered by him for the broad-making competition amont'-st farmers' daughters and servants has not brought forward a larger number of competitors. The fruit preserved in sali cylic acid by Mrs Hobbs have all the appearance of fruit newly gathered. Mr C. Maselield's exhibit of preserved mullet is' a neat and the article a good one.

This Day.

The Agricultural Show appears to be en joying nlmostamonopoly of public attention aud patronage to-day. Last year it had to cope with powerful rivalry in the form of the North Shore Regatta; but on this occa sion the only counter-attraction, in addition to the usual excursions, is the regatta at the Whau, which is rathor remote to success fully compote with it. All the world and his wife, decked out in gala attire, seem to bo out at Greenlane, and the exhi bits appear to the best advantage. The implements are engaging a very large share of attention, and they are certainly well worthy of it, while the blood and pedigree stock are being admiringly scanned by hundreds of sightseers. A large crowd rills the building, wherein is set out the show of local manufactures, and the piss, dogs, poultry, sheed and produce, carriages and vegetables, have each and all their share of critics and specialists. A leaping match is producing plenty of interest and amusement, and some of the judges aro completing awards which were left over from yesterday'; while down upon the racecourse Mr Bobt. E. Ellis is busy with preparations for the afternoon's programme of athletic sports. The Show, on all hands, is voted a pronounced success, and the scene is full of animation and attractiveness. The additional awards made to-day are as follows:— draucht stock. Class 13, Best Entire, foaled since August 1, ISS2. First prize, 40s ; second, 20s— Five entries. Ist prize, N.Z. Stud and P.S.

Land Nationalisation in New Zealand.

Goixo from homo to got news, we find from the Melbourne " Argus " that the Atkinson Government contemplate introducing acom plete system of land nationalisation in this colony, according to the most approved plans of Henry George ond A. R. \\ alinee. The Wellington correspondent of the paper named, who appears to be the recipient of Ministerial confidences, since he so , positively knows their political studies and intentions, writes as follows:—"Next year ill- Rolleston will almost certainly mako a third effort to havo his perpetual-leasing system established iv loto, and this will either be accompanied or followed by n ■ complete discontinuance of Crown lands sales. That tho policy of Ministers is per sistently tending toward the total stoppage of the alienation of Crown lands is unmis takably manifest, and, I fancy, would hardly be disputed by any member of the Government. Thero is no doubt that the Cabinet has become thoroughly permeated with the idea that it is undesir able to go on selling the public estate, and this simply means that the Crown lands still remaining unsold aro to be nationalised. But this is only one stop. The advocates of land nationalisation would be very ill satisfied with such a partial adoption of their pot theory. Unless it goes on to re sumo possession of tho land already alienated, it is no true scheme of land nationalisation. Everybody, or thereabouts, has read Mr Henry George's and Mr A. R. Wallace's notable essays on this subject. Our Ministers have undoubtedly studied them deeply, and I havo good reasons for believing that they are strongly dis posed to favour Mr Wallace's plan, with certain modifications suitable to this country and its circumstances. Whether they will go so far as this in their programme for next year's election I am not°prepared as yet to say ; but assuredly they have made a distinct move in that direction in the bill above referred to. That is to say, they have specifically proposed the resumption of alienated lands under certain conditions for purposes of settlement. This measure is called the Railway-im proved Lands Bill. It was only circulated on the last day of thp session, although shadowed forth by tbe Minister for Public Works in his departmental state ment. The purport of the bill is to enable the State to claim a share of the ' unearned increment,' when this has been enhanced by State-rallway construction. The pro posal is of a twofold character. It is to empower the Government either to charge on privately-ownod lands a portion of the cost of the railways by which they are im proved, such charge either to be paid by the landowner, or to remain as long as ho chooses as an encumbrance on his pro perty at 5 per cent, interest per annum. The other alternative is the compulsory repurchase of the land, the price being 25 per cent, above its valu ation for the property tax. Here, then, we have a pronounced advance to wards land nationnifsation. Of.course, the Government has power already to take land required for public works; but this will enable land to be taken simply with the object of selling it again—or more probably leasing it—to small settlers. The Radway improved Lands Bill thus constitutes a special and noteworthy step on the road to which I am convinced that the Government policy is tending." The writer in question, though a con sistent supporter of the present Govern ment, and apparently in some measure in their confidence, overstrains, we think, tho deductions to be drawn from past experi mental legislation in the way of leasing Crown lands. The Atkinson Government will never go one inch further in the direc tion of land nationalisation than public opinion pushes them; and it is very far from being demonstrated yet, either theoretically or practically, that the aboli tion of private ownership in land would cure any of the evils pertaining to the present system, while it would unquestion ably introduce new evils of its own. As for the proposals of the Railway-Improved Land Bill, they are not open to any valid objection; but theso proposals may bo adopted without in any way com mitting the colony to a policy of land nationalisation. One thing is at least certain: Such a gigantic, revolution cannot possibly be effected by the Atkinson Minis try, or any other Ministry who may deeply study the works of tho "new school ot political economists ; it can only be intro duced by the deliberate expression of tho , will of the people at the ballot-boxes ; and if that will should ever declare in favour of land nationalisation, it will , only be after a thoughtful consideration bl both sides of the question, agd a calm survey of the probable consequences of the 1 step The matter should pot be lost sjgtit of tor it fs the question of the future, and

one on which candidates for seats in the House of Representatives will have to keep themselves well-informed and able to dis cuss its pros and cons with tho vast number of electors who have posted themselves by the perusal of the widely - circulated popular literature on the subject.

The property mentioned consists of over 1,000 acres of freehold land, situated near the Miranda Redoubt, at the head of the Marainarua River, about 10 miles from tho Meremcro siding, Wai kato Railway Lino, abott 10 miles^rom Mercer, and about 10 miles from Moroer, and about 10 miles from dean-water frontage opposite tho Thamos Goldflelos. Tho land is good agricultural land, and thero are upwards of 10 acres of totara, matai, rimu, and puriri bush, all suitable for mining pur poses. Numerous trial pita havo been s«nk all ovor tho property, and coal was found In about 90 of Uiem, at a depth of from 7 to 30 feet from tlio surface, tho scams oxtondlng to a thickness of 51 The proporty abounds In first-class flro and other clays, and has enormous valuable deposits of very rich iron ore. .__.._■•_»_ Tho following result was obtained by Dr. James Hector. Analyist to tho New Zealand Government, from a sample of Hematite Iron submitted to him, viz. :— Metallic Iron 62-30 Oxygen 274 Manganeso traces. Titanium • •■ traces. Silicates 10-G6 He adds: "If the ore can bo obtained in quan tity. It will be the most valuable I havo soen in New Zealand." All tho Iron ores are In abun dance, and have been tested by oxporte, and in ovcry case with satisfactory results. The following aro oxtracts from Messrs Stowart and Hunter's report as to quantity, quality, and cost of delivering tho Coal in Auck land :—" It is pretty well known that tho thick ness of the seam worked by Mr Foote was 51 feet, and the whole drift of pvidenco goes to show that a largo area of Coal of groat thickness extends nearly all over the property. The old mlno was kopt easily free from water, and con sidering the top of the scam was only 13 feet under the surface, and closo to tho swamps, it is evldont that the roof is safe and watertight. Wo believe that, on the basis of 600 tons per week, the Coal can bo mined and put on board tho barges for 2s 6d por ton, including pumping. "Quality ok Coal.—This is well known to us to be equal to tho average Waikato Coal, and only slightly inferior to the best Taupiri Coal, which has now entered so largoly Into nso in all circumstances, from locomotivo down to household fuol. Mr Foote's Coal was largely used by steamers, and wc are quito sure it only wants to be introduced to tako its placo at once In tho market. _~,.. v. r, , "Tho cost of mining and delivering tho Coal on tho railway la estimated ot 4s per ton; the railway freight is—to Auckland or Onehunga, 5s Id, making a total cost 9s Id—say 10s por ton." Mr Stowart, in his report, says: "The Coal was slightly inforior to tho Taupiri Coal." This was the upper portion of the scam, but the lower portion was found to be quito equal in quality to the Taupiri Coal, and thoro is evory reason to bellevo that at a greater depth from the surface other and moro valuablo deposits of Coal will be found The immediato capital required to bring tho Coal into tho Aucklond market—which can be done within six months from dote, ot the rote of from 600 to 800 tons por week—is about £6 030 in bringing this Prospsctus beforo tho public, the promoters would coll thoir attention to the following important facts:— 1. That no outlay is required for the pur pose of proving tho mineral field. 2 That tho steady increase in the demand for Coal fully warrants tho Company commencingopcrationsand energetically working tho scams. 3. That the Hold is all ready for operations, and only requires capital to fully develop it so as to render the Company a safe and profitable investment. 13 000 Shares aro already taken up, leaving 17 000, which aro now offered to tlio public, applications for which are to be lodged with tho undersigned, any of the Directors before mon tioncd, or any Member of TnE Brokers' Association, on or before SATURDAY, the 17th day ol ' November.
