BROKERS: The Members of the Brokers' Association, The Kamo Colliery is a most extensive one consisting, as it does, of 1,200 acres of freehold, and about 1,400 aores leasehold lands. The railway which the Government has com pleted, connecting the Kamo Colliery with the Harbour, at a cost of about £52,000, places the Colliery in the position of being more easily and srol5 rolltably worked than any otho. Colliery in few Zealand. Tho Harbour with whioh the Mine is now at tached is, for all practical purposes, equal 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 the Company, a very largo sum has been expended in developing tho Mine, and with tho most satisfactory results. In the Main Engine Shaft (which 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 tho surface, tho upper seam ot coal, nine feet in thickness, has been gone through. This Coal is very superior in quality. At a depth of forty-five feet below this seam, tho lower seam has been proved to exist. Tins Coal will be Immediately Available, At tho opposite side of the Hill from which the main heading was started, and what is known as the Road Engine Dip, a Beam of nine feet of excellent coal has been struck. This coa 1 will be in tho market at once, as it is connected with tho railway through the main level. In view of tho facts that now the Colliery well opened up, the demand for tho coal having largely increased, and the recently acquired seams of coal proving to bo of superior quality, the Directors are justified in stating that they believe the Company, from this time, will pay continuously large dividends. SHARES ARE NOW OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC at I_> per share, and paid up to that amount, upon ihe following terms:-as cash; balance by two equal payments of as each at three and six months, Tho Directors being thoroughly satisfied with the bona fides ot the undertaking, determined to adopt the risk of proving the line a sucoess heforo olfbring to tho nubho any shares for Bale. Thoso now offered to the public were purchased by the Direqtors for the Company. The entire proceeds, therefore, of tho shares now offered to the public will be placed to the credit of the Company, A list of the properties.
