The railway which the Government has com- BWtod. connecting the Kamo Colliery with tho [arbour, at a cost of about £52,000, placcß tho Colliery in tho position of being more eutiily and profitably worked than any other Colliery in New Zealand. The Harbour with which tho Mine is now at tached is, for all practical purposes, cipiitl to any in tho Colonies, and being en route lor tho Union and Pacific Companies' Bteamcrs, could not be more advantageously situated. Since tho formation of the Company, a very large sum has been expended in developing tlio Mine, and with the most satisfactory results. In the Main Engino Shaft (which is a con-' slderable distance from tho present workings, and upon which powerful pumping anil winding machinery has been erected), at a depth of 220 feet from the surface, the upper seam of coal. nine feet in thickness, has been gone through. This Coau is very superior in on alto. At a depth of forty-five feet biUow thlaUki, tho lower seam has been proved to exist. Tins Coal will be Immediately avau.aiu.ic. At the opposite side of the Hill from which the main heading was started, and what is known as the Road Engine Dip,,* scantpf nliio feat of excellent ooal has been strode; This coal will be in the market at once, us i t i a connected with tho railway through the main I,»vcl. '■' * In view of tho facts that now tlia Colliery is well opened up, the demand for the coal having largely increased, and the recently acquired scams of coal proving to be of superior quality, tie Directors are juatilled in stating that they believe the Company, Ironrtkis ttmo, will pay continuously large dividena^MK,t>^ SHARES ARE NOW*OFra&ED <fTO THE PUBLIC ot 15* per'share, and paid up tolhat amount, upon the following f«*ta:-5s cash; balance by two equal payments of 6s each at thru and six mo*ii*. ■ .
