Solicitors. Messrs Russell and Campbell. Secretary (pro torn.). Mr John Smyth. This Company has been formed for the pur pose of purchasing from Messrs J, & H. Smyth their leasehold property at Mount Ed en Railway Station, the mill thereon erected, and the plant, stock-in trade, and other property and chattels connected therewith; the purchase of timber land; the felling and cutting of timber; the manufacture and sale of timber and wood ware, and generally such other things as are moid ental or conducive to the advancement of the above objocts, and to the conduct of the undertakings aforesaid. The Company, which has been duly regis tered under "Tho Companies Act, 1882," has, by an agreement, dated the 28thday of April, 1885, contracted with the Messrs Smyth, to purchase their leasehold property at Mount Eden Rail way Station, with the mill thereon erected, and the plant, stock-in-trade, and other chattels connected therewith, for the sum of £4,600. This price has been fixed by two independent valuators and an umpire who have had long experience in the timber business, and possess an intimate and extensive knowledge of the valuo of machinery and of the various ap pliances for the preparing and dressing of tim ber. A certificate by Messrs Murdoch, Gilmer, and Walker —the valuators mentionad — the respective Secretaries of the Union Sash and Door Company, the Mercury Bay Timber Com pany, and the Helensville Timber Company, is appended to this Prospectus. The Messrs Smyth have agreed to take 4.508 shares in the Company, 10s paid up, in part payment of the ! purchase monoy. thus evincing their belief in the profitable nature of the projected business. AbouUO.OOOsharcshave already been subscribed, and the Company has decided to offer to tho public another 5,000. The site which has been acquired, on the line of the Auckland and Kaipara Railway, is unequalled for position, command ing, asitdoes, the wholeof the City and Suburban Markets, and will enable the Company to carry on its business with ease anij. regularity, and at a comparatively small expenss for carriage of material. Large quantities of the finest timber can be readily obtained from Kaipara and Wgi takerei, and contracts have already been entered into for the purchase and delivery of a regular supply on the most advan tageous terms. A considerable trade is at Sreßent being done, which is capable of in eflnito expansion by tho employment of additional plant and capital. Additional machinery has already been ordered from England, and is expected to arrive in about six weeks, which will enable the Com- Eany to keep pace with its rapidly extending usinesp. The 5,000 shareß referred to are offered to the public for the purpose of provid ing funds to pay for the machinery ordered, and to enable the Company to take advantage of any opportunities that may offer for an increase of business. The Directors have every confidence in placing this scheme beforo the public feeling sure that it will prove a most profitable and permanent cencorn, and that it offers a safo liold for invest ment. It is not intended that more than 10a per Share shall be payable during the first six months; 2s 6d per Share is payable on application, 2s 6d on allotment, an* calls as required, each call not to excf ed 23 6d per Share, nor to be mado at less intervals than two months Applications for Shares, addressed to the Sec retary, to be sent to Messrs Russell and Camp bell ; or, to tho Colonial Bank of New Zealand, not later than 9th May.
