The railwuy which the Government has com pleted, connecting Uio Kamo Colliery with tire Harbour, ut a cost of about £52,000, places tho Colliery in the position of bolng more easily and proiltauly worked than u«y other Colliery in Now Zealand. Tho Harbour with which the Mine is now nt tnohed is. for all practical purposes, equal to urry in tho Colonies, and bolng on route tor tho Union and Pacific Companies' steamers, could not be moro advantageously situated. Sinco the formation of tho Company, a vory largo sum has been exponded In developing tho Mine, and with the most satisfactory results.

This coal will ho in tho market at once, as it is connected with tho railway through tlie main level. In view of tho facts that now' tho Colliery well opened up, the demand for tlie coal having largely increased, and the recently acquired Beams of coal proving to bo of superior quality, tho Directors are Justified In stating that they beliovo the Company, from thiß timo, will pay continuously large dividends.
