The Kamo Colliery is a most extensive one consisting, as it docs, of 1,200 acres of freehold, and about 1,400 acres leasehold lands. Tho railway which the Government has com- S'eted, connecting the Kamo Colliery with the arbour, at a cost of about £52,000, places the Colliery in the position of being more easily and profitably worked than any other Colliery in Now Zealand. The Harbour with which the Mine is now at tached is, for all practical purposes, equal to any in the Colonies, and'being en routo for^he Union and Pacific Companies' steamers, could not be more advantageously situated. Since tho formation of the Company, a very largo sum lias been expended in developing the Mine, and with the most satisfactory results. In tho Main Engine Shaft (which Is n con siderable distance from the present i/orkings, and upon which powerful pumping and winding machinery has been erected), at c depth of 220 feet from the surface, the upper seam of 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, tile lower seam has been proved to exist. TiiiS Coal will be Immediately Available, At tho opposite sido of tho Hill from which tho main heading was started, and what i, known as'the Road Kngino Dip, a seam of niiie feet of excollent coal has been struck. This coal will bo in the markot at once, as it is connected with the railway through the main level. In view of the facts that now tho Colliery is well opened up, the demand for the coal having largely increased, and tho rccontly acquired seams of coal proving to bo of superior qunlity, the Directors aro justified in stating that they believe tho Company, from tliis'Uinc, will pay continuously large dividends. ; SHAKES AXE NOW OFFERED. TO THE PUBLIC at 15s per share, and paid up to that amount, upon the following terms :-5s cash; balance by two equal jmyments of 5s eachal three and six months. The Directors boihg thoroughly satisfied with the bona fides of the undprtajcfng, determined to adopt tho risk of proving the lino a success before offering to tho public any shares for sale. Thoso now oifcrcd to the public were purchased by the Directors for the Company. The entire proceeds, therefore, of tho shares now offered to the public will be placed to tho crodit of the Company.
