OUR NEWEST INDUSTRY TOBACCO & CIGAR MANU FACTURE.

• New Zoaland Tobacco Company's Factory.

A reporter from this office paid a casual visit yesterday afternoon to the New Zea land Tobacco Company's Factory, en the Beach Rood, for the purpose of ascertaining ' how operations were progressing. Ho found

the place scrupulously clean, nil the1 machinery that has yet come to hand in' position, and all the preparations com plete for the manufacture of cignrs. The manager (Mr Vollbracht) courteously received our representative, ond explained to him the various processes in the propara-. i tion of the fragrant weed for tho sinoking .community. A brief statement of thestf 'may prove interesting to our readers. After1 i the leaves are received from the growers,; ■they are sorted and stripped of tho midrib.] With the aid of a modification of the syringe called " a sprinkler," they ore then eatur-, ted with a solution compounded for tho purpose of importing to them tho agreeable flavour which smokers hold in such high regard. After rocoiving this treatment tho leaves aro arranged in square stacks; covered over with blankets, and left to com: plete the curing process, which usually ex tends over o fortnight. They aro next .sorted, thoroughly dried, and afterwards -stretohed by moans of an apparatus specially designed for the purpose. Tho cigar is then rolled and placed in moulds whichgiveitasymmetricnlshope, aftorwhich -skilled workmen take it and deftly put on :fche outer coat, tho pointed end being fastened with pure and specially imported Havana gum, nnd the smoking end being ;eut by means of o small hand machine. .The formed cigars aro then replaced in .moulds, and the scare put into presses which render them compact, shapely nnd firm. 'These presses con turn out 5,000 cignrs per :diem. - Then the cigars are packed in boxes -for the market, and having undergone further compression in this state, they are, •ready for tho shop. At present only cignrs; :nre manufactured, and anyone who has. .smoked the local article will feel no appre hension or doubt ns to its fitness to sus tain competition on level terms with the im ported article. The visitors at the Auck land Club have had the privilege of testing *hese cigar, and wish for nothing better,. •while the Governor last Thursday expressed himself delighted with tho success that had fceen achieved in the growth of a superfine quality of leaf, and in its production in first-rate style for the markets of the world. -Various kinds of cigars aire prepared from tho best Havana to the ordinary weed. Arrangements have been made for the manufacture of the several varieties of, smoking tobacco, cut and uncut, snuff ond Cigarettes, specially prepared paper for tho latter being now on its way from Paris, Whilst a large shipment of proper cigor ioxes are now afloat from America. Small cases, linen bags and packages have ab-eady arrived for the making up of the tobacco in the most approved American style. Fourteen hands are now in active work and the foremon and twelve more' cigar-makers are expected from Sydney early next week, when the com plement will be made up to 35 hands v by the engagement of 9 or 10 boys and girls. The Company have embarked upon the in dustry with a determination to succeed, and they have the means to keep that deter mination up to the sticking-pomt. They have a capital of £20,000 to work upon, a directorate of influential and enterprising taen, and in Mr August Vollbracht a working manager of groat energy nnd twenty-three years' practical experience. Es was born at Dusseidorf, upon the Rhino, where he served his apprenticeship in a tobacco factory, and for 20 years smco then ho has been actively engaged in the trade in Now York State, U.S. The best proof, however, of his high qualifications tor the position he now holds lie 3in the work he has already done. Under his direction the Company have imported large quantities of the several varieties of tobacco seed, viz. : Havana. Sumatra, Connecticut, Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky, the supply of Havana alone being sufficient for the planting of 1,000 acres Settlers who undertake, by written bond, to sell their product of leaf to the Company at the specified rate, ond whose properties are approved by the manager, are supplied with the neces sary seed gratis, as well as printed instruc tions how to proceed with its culture. No less than 113 farmers located throughout Nelson, Wellington, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay, as well as in oil parts of this province from Poverty Bay in the South to Mongonm in the North, havo already entered into these contracts. Even the Maoris of the King Country have availed them selves of tho privilege, and havo sent in leaves of a highly satisfactory kind. Mr James Mason, of Parnell, seems to be facile primcps in the growth of superior tobacco. The leaf he sends in is simply superb in appearance, colour, texture, and aroma. Waiwera, Tauranga, and Opotikl furnish leaf of admirable flavour, and a very mild and agreeable variety comes from Poverty Boy. Mongonui, Mangare, and Onehunga also show up to advantage. In X the samples one and all attest indubit ably the adaptability in soil ond climatei of the North Island of New Zealand and tho northern portion of Nelson forthe.success ful growth of the tobacco plant. The Com nanv will probably have a quantity of LaTs paWd tnrough the. Customs Bond next week, and as they are in a posi tion to sell 50 per cent, below the price of the imported article, they are almost sure to tako speedy possession of the local market, and to extend their custom and repute throughout the who c Australasian group We cordially wish them success.
