The Kamo Colliery ia a most extensive one consisting, as it docs, of 1,200 acres of freehold, and about 1,400 acres leasehold lands. The railway which the Government has com pleted, connecting the Kamo Colliery with tho Harbour, at a cost of about £52,000, places, the Colliery in tho position of being more easily and Srofitably worked than any other Colliery in few Zealand. Tho Harbour with which the Mine is now ftt< tached is, for all practical purposes, equal to any in the Colonies, and being on routp few■the Union and Pacific Companies' steamers, could not be moro advantageously situated. Since tlio formation of tho Company, a very largo sum has been oxpcndod in developing tho Mine, and with tho most satisfactory results. In tho Main Engine Shaft (which is a oon siderablo distanco from the present workings, and upon which powerful pumping and winding machinery has been eroctod), at a depth of 220 feet from tho surface, tho uppor scam of coal, nino f cot in thickness, has been gone through. Tins Coal is very superior in quality. At a depth of fortv-flve feet beiow this seam, the lower seam has been proved to exist. Tpi3 Coal will be Immediately Available, At the opposite sido of tho Hill from which tho main heading was started, and what is known as the Road Engine Dip, a soam of niui foot of exoollont coal has been struck. This ooal will be in the market at once, as it ia connected with the railway through tho ro^in level. In view of tUo {att? that now the Colliery well Qpenpi u.p, tho demand for the coal haying Vaygely increased, and the recently acquired seams ot coal proving to be q£ superior quality, the Directors are justified in stating that they believe the Company, from this time, will pay contimiQWiiy )ftrgo dividonds.
