BROKERS : TnE Memders of the Brokers' Association. The Kamn Colliery is a most extenslvs one consisting, as it does, of 1,200 acres of freehold, and about 1,400 acres leasehold lands. The railway which the Government has com pleted, connecting tho Kamo Colliery with tho Harbour, at a cost of about £52,000, places the Colliery in tho position of being more easily and Srofltably worked than any other Colllory in few Zealand. The Harbour with whioh tho Mine ia. now at tached is, for all practical purposes, oqual to any in the Colonies, and being en route for the Union and Pacific Companies' steamers, could not be more advantageously situated. Since the formation of tho Company, a very largo sum has been expended In developing tho line, and with Uie most satisfactory results. In tho Main Engino Shaft (wnich is a con siderable distance from tho present workings, and -upon which powerful pumping and winding machinery has been erected), at a depth of 220 feet from the surface, tho upper seam of coal, nino feet in thickness, has been gone through. This Coal is very superior in quality. At a depth of fortv-flve foot below this scam, the lower seam has boon proved to exist. This Coal will be Immediately Available. At the opposite side of the Hill from which the main heading was started, and what is known as the Road Engine Dip, a scam of nine feet of excellent coal has b«en struck. This coal will bo in tho market at once, as it is connected with the railway through the main level. In view of tho facts that now tho Colliery is well opened up, tho demand for the coal having largely inoreaßfid, and tho recently acquired seams of coal proving to bo of superior quality, the Directors are justified in stating that they beliove tho Company, from this time, will pay continuously largo dividends, SHARES ARE NOW OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC at lbs per share, and paid up to that amount, upon the following terma:-bs cash; balance by two equal payments of in eaoh at three and six months. Tho Directors being thoroughly satisfied with tho bona flde3 of tho undertaking, determined to adopt tho risk of proving the lino a success before offering to tho public any shares for sale. Thoso now offered to the publio were purchasad by the Directors for the Company. The entire proceeds, thereforo, of the shares now oltfered .o the publio will bo placed to tho credit of the Company.
